Jules Kounde comes up with new plan to avoid being late at Barcelona

Jules Kounde has reportedly hatched a plan to ensure he’s never late for one of Hansi Flick’s meetings again at Barcelona.

The Frenchman, who scored a dramatic extra-time winner in the Copa del Rey this season, has been a virtual ever-present this season - except when he’s been benched for his time-keeping.

Kounde was left out of the starting XI against Alavés, Espanyol, and Rayo Vallecano due to being late, with Hansi Flick unwilling to relax his strict rules for anyone.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Kounde has been trying to work on his time-keeping by himself but has now come up with a new plan ahead of a crucial run of fixtures.
