Joining Barcelona is not easy! Rashford must comply with 10 iron rules, and arriving 90 minutes in advance is a hard requirement

Marcus Rashford will join La Liga giants Barcelona via loan and buyout option. The young England striker, after Manchester United's performance failed to be recognized by head coach Ruben Amorin, was eager to use Barcelona's platform to regain his peak form. However, in order to succeed on this historic team under Hans Flick, Rashford must follow a series of rather strict and meticulous rules.

Barcelona club has reached an agreement with Rashford to prepare to join the British player. Flick's first season brought great results to Barcelona. The team not only won the La Liga championship, but also won the King's Cup and the Spanish Super Cup, completing the great achievements of the domestic triple-champion. According to the Spanish media "As", Barcelona's brilliant achievements are inseparable from the ten strict regulations implemented by Flick. Each player is required to strictly abide by these rules to ensure the overall performance of the team. The report noted that Flick emphasized that players need to arrive at the training ground 90 minutes before the start of training, and that he himself is likely to be the first coach to arrive, showing his emphasis on his professional attitude.

In the daily management of the team, each player will weigh in order to monitor their physical condition in a timely manner. To ensure that the nutrition consumed by players meets sports needs, all players must enjoy a diet carefully prepared by nutritionist Sylvia Tremoleda in the club's sports city restaurant. This approach that focuses on diet management is designed to maximize the player's competitive state.

In addition, players are required to participate in warm-up training on the morning of the game, a requirement that was cancelled due to complaints from players when former coach Harvey was coaching, and is now restored under Flick's leadership. It is worth mentioning that Flick also stipulates that all players must go to the team hotel to gather before each game. The 60-year-old German coach is keen on "controlling every detail and avoiding accidents" to prioritize the recovery of players. He even canceled late-night flights after away games to reduce players' fatigue and stress.

Although Flick brought extremely high training intensity, Barcelona's training time reached one and a half hours, and the training process was both long and challenging, he was determined to ensure the team's competitiveness. He also made changes in his training policy, abolishing the fines during the Harvey period, reflecting his trust in the players' self-restraint ability. Flick usually only sets players' rest time a day a week, and he asks players to fight for the team wholeheartedly. At the same time, Flick strives to maintain a "professional relationship based on respect and commitment" with the players, emphasizing that the line between the coach and the players must be drawn to ensure a healthy interaction between the two sides.

Flick explained his appreciation for Rashford in an interview. When asked in May whether he would sign the winger, he even called him a "stellar player." "We have discussed this with the club," Flick said, adding, "In the past few games, we have not chosen much in this position... So we have to strengthen the team's choice and strength. This is obviously Deco's job and I will support him with all my strength."
