aFC Barcelona understands that Lamine Yamal is one of the most media-watched young stars in European football, but the teenager’s reaction is unlikely to be enough to cause controversy within the LaLiga leaders.
Hansi Flick’s reaction to Ramin Yamal
That’s how Hansi Flick avoided suspicions of a possible dispute with his players when asked about the situation, prompting the German coach to avoid him after he was seen heading to the bench with a disgruntled look on his face during the Barca-Levante game.
“Was he angry about his performance? That’s normal. The most important thing is that we won. There are players like Rooney Bulge who deserved to play. He was very professional and I liked the reaction when he came on.”
These were the German manager’s words after sending Rooney Barzij onto the pitch at the end of the game. He also admitted that it was not the player’s best match and that he would not attach importance to this episode in the context of Barcelona’s La Liga title race.
“You attach great importance to everything that Lamine Yamal does. There is nothing wrong with his reaction. It’s human. Other players deserve to play too, nothing more,” added the Barcelona head coach.
Barcelona defeated Levante 3-0 and regained top spot in La Liga with 61 points. This is one more than Real Madrid, who dropped a point in their latest La Liga game against Osasuna.
