"That's why it's important because if the players believe they can acheive more important things, you see they still want to do something important."I believe that this team for me is the beginning of the era, the beginning of the history of this team because they are so young and still want to win something important."In the process of guiding Barcelona to their second successive title, Hansi Flick has built a team which means they will not have to "go to the market for four to five players", said Deco.They went on an 11-game winning run to coast to the title, although they exited the Champions League in the quarter-finals.How Flick's reshaped Barca dominated La Liga againPublished11 MayRashford has 'helped a lot'Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Marcus Rashford's form at Barcelona has earned him a place in England's World Cup squadEngland forward Marcus Rashford spent the season on loan at Barcelona from Manchester United - and while his future is undecided, the 28-year-old has suggested he wants to stay in Spa...
