Even when he is not playing, Lamine Yamal is talked about. Last October 13 in Italy, Zinédine Zidane even called him the best player in the world, explaining that the Spanish winger “vibrates when he touches the ball. »
The 18-year-old player is also making headlines for his off-field actions, which are the subject of tension within his club, FC Barcelona. As revealed by several Spanish sources, including the Cadena SER in his show El Largueroor the Catalan media ElNacionalthe behavior of number ten begins to irritate internally.
A lack of punctuality observed on the eve of the clash between Barça and PSG in the Champions League on October 1 (1-2) is being blamed. Lamine Yamal allegedly arrived late for a team meeting, causing the annoyance of his coach Hansi Flick, who wanted to sanction him. However, this is not the case.
Flick's authority questioned
As a sanction, the German tactician had planned to sideline the player for this C1 match. Nothing surprising when we know the rigor and temperament of Hansi Flick, who for example deprived Jules Koundé of a La Liga match against Rayo Vallecano last February, again after a delay in training, but also Raphinha, Iñaki Peña and Hector Fort for other similar cases.
The former Bayern Munich coach therefore warned Lamine Yamal, as well as his management, of his decision not to play him. However, the Spaniard appeared in the Blaugrana starting lineup the next day. All this after Deco, Barça sporting director, rejected Flick's request. Note that after the club's defeat against Paris, the Blaugrana's pubalgia reappeared. A direct challenge to the German's authority, which would even disrupt the balance of the locker room. According to
A.S.several players do not really accept that the crack benefits from a certain preferential treatment different from theirs.
