The Kroos brothers shed light on the different leadership philosophies by FC Barcelona and Real Madrid – and what role Hansi Flick plays.
In their podcast “Simply Luppe”, Toni and Felix Kroos spoke in detail about Hansi Flick’s disciplinary measures – and above all about his strict sanctions. In doing so, compare flicks consistent line with the much more relaxed mentality at Real Madrid, where Toni Kroos played for many years.
The 2014 world champion makes it clear that even with Flick, small delays can have great consequences. “With Hansi, some have already flown out of the squad because they were three minutes late to meet. That was also a few times in Barcelona,” he revealed.

Kroos: “At Real you would have laughed at it”
Such handling would have been unthinkable at Real Madrid. “These are different philosophies. Here, at Real, you would have laughed at it. You often didn’t know who was late – the player or the coach. It is simply a completely different mentality to not let someone play because of this just because he is five minutes late for the team meeting,” explained Toni Kroos.
The ex-professional emphasized that there is no right or wrong, just different approaches: “This is both okay, are different philosophies. You can also say that it is typical German.” Felix Kroos added: “That you no longer play because of this is typically German. I think few coaches from other countries would react so hard.”
Toni Kroos added: “But then it doesn’t happen often that someone is too late.”
It is no secret that discipline for Flick is a central element of his work. In any case, this clear line seems to have been accepted in Barcelona – the Catalans celebrated a successful season with three titles.
