Jules Koundé's impressive performances at the start of the season have not gone unnoticed at FC Barcelona. The French defender has established himself as one of the standout players on the team, demonstrating exceptional performance both defensively and offensively.

German coach Hansi Flick has not held back in praising Koundé, expressing his astonishment at the player's professionalism during a press conference. Flick even joked with a journalist, suggesting that they should be the ones to ask Koundé to take a break. "His attitude is not typical," Flick noted, highlighting the dedication and commitment of the Frenchman. 

"It's Unbelievable. I have never experienced this before. After the match, he wants to train. He is a great professional and takes excellent care of his physical condition. In every training session, he wants to give it his all. This attitude is not common, but it’s very good," he added.

So far, Koundé has showcased outstanding physicality, allowing him to be a formidable presence in defense while significantly contributing to the team’s attack. His connection with Lamine Yamal has created memorable moments in Barcelona's gameplay, enriching the team's offensive style.

In a recent interview with Le Parisien, the player revealed some insights about his approach to discipline and training. "I think it was Thierry Henry who said that hard work and discipline are talent. I really like that idea because I completely identify with it. I am a talented player, but not, as some say, overflowing with talent. I don't have a huge margin. So it's nice to see that my efforts are paying off. And I say this even more easily because, in the past, whenever I lacked discipline, I often paid for it with money," Koundé confessed.

With this level of commitment and discipline, Jules Koundé is becoming a fundamental pillar for Barcelona and promises to continue dazzling in the future. His professionalism not only inspires his teammates but also raises the standard within the squad.
