The summons of discord. This Friday, Luis de la Fuente, coach of Spain, decided to summon Lamine Yamal for the two Roja games at home against Georgia (October 11) and Bulgaria (October 14), even though he knew the 18 -year -old jewel. A decision that did not fail to react on the side of Barcelona. Indeed, if the Catalan club announced the package of its crack for 2 to 3 weeks of absence due to pubis pain, Luis de la Fuente took a very different path. “”Here, those who come are healthy. In a condition of playing“Said the Spanish coach.
While the controversy continues to swell – which is more after the last rally where Lamine Yamal had returned injured – Hansi Flick tried to calm the game. “Everyone knows the qualities of Lamine. It is also my responsibility to manage your playing time. Sometimes players do not feel 100% and focus on their strengths but we must also defend. For me, he is intelligent, he knows how to fly the ball to others and when he is 100%, he does. Now I have to manage his playing time. If he can't do it, he must play less ”first recalled, this Saturday, the German coach.

Relaunched in the case of Catalan engineering, Flick also said more about the nature of his injury: “With an injury like that of Lamine, it is difficult to say that it can play in x weeks. You just have to wait, manage your playing time, your training with our staff. We have to go step by step and see how it will evolve ”. In uncertainty, the Barcelona technician, however, did not wish to overwhelm the Spanish federation, well aware that honors the La Roja jersey remained a privilege.
“When you are a good player, you also play in selection and it's an honor. We have to manage the playing time of all players, whether at the federation or here. It's like that, it's a good thing that a lot of players are going in selection but we have to manage it, with training “. Determined to protect his player and not wishing to say more about the change of calendar from last year for the Trier, Hansi Flick finally concluded his speech by sending a clear message to Luis de la Fuente, he who had reproached the 60 -year -old coach a lack of empathy. “I just want to protect my players. We have to think about them, that's all. For me, it's over, we have to think about something else and move forward ”. What to close the controversy? Response in the coming hours.
