10 - Lamine Yamal

[Don Juan Laporta Estruch]

The fact of the matter is that they look at Lamine as nothing more than a piece of Catalan meat to serve the fascist Franco state. As they do with all Barca players.

Would they treat Madrid players the same way? No fucking chance. Quick word from the Madrid supporting higher ups and DLF would think twice to play a Madrid ladron even in a World Cup final.

It would have been better for Barca if Lamine had chosen Morocco, even considering he would miss nearly 2 months for the Afcon, every couple of years. The Morrocans would have worshipped him. The Spainsh show more hatred to him than they do even to Vini.

Exactly.

Madridistas are shameless anyway. They would rather see Spain lose than win, if it means Barca players failed. They are truly ***** in the brain. Madrid is the capital.. it's lunacy.

Flick shouldn't play him for one match after medical clears him.

The report claims that at no time were the medical staff informed of any problems with Yamal during his time with the Spain national team.
There’s also confusion as one of the physios with the national team is Fernando Galán, who also works with Yamal at Barcelona. Galan “did not communicate anything about any ailment,” according to AS.

The report also claims that Yamal wasn’t happy at being taken off against Turkey instead of playing the whole 90 minutes, suggesting he wasn’t feeling any pain.

All in all it’s not a great situation for Barcelona, Yamal or Spain. There’s clearly a bit of tension now between club and country which may need to be resolved before Spain return to action next month.

You can blame de la fuente but it is Lamine who chose to play those matches while having discomfort. And no, he did not train between matches.

Flick is probably pissed at Lamine too.

Lamine just turned 18 and has a cocky attitude, that allowed him his breakthrough with 15 years of age. He would play football at 3 a.m with a broken leg if he's asked to, because he's still naive and has a mindset of a teenager, that his body is indestructable.
This is 100% on Fuente. This piece of shit only thinks about himself, we know that since Gavi. Giving him painkillers this early in the season, so he can play against Turkey. Flick must be furious about such egoism and amateurish care.

 

[Barcaman]

Don't think de la fuente asked him to or forced him into it. Pretty sure Lamine wanted to play and that's why he did.

That doesn't excuse him. If the player can't do a good decision for whatever reason, you have to do it for him to protect him. That's his job as coach, not only to train them, but also to protect them when necessary. Lamine is at the start of his career, he's a teenager without much knowledge what his body can take.
Giving him painkillers, so he can play a better friendly in Turkey is irresponsible and inexcusable. If he was a Madrid player, you can be sure they would have taken care of him differently.

Flick and his staff needs to talk to Lamine asap and teach him to say no, to stop playing when he's feeling unwell, otherwise this is only the beginning.

Exactly. Lamine is a kid. He might be a world class player but he is a kid. They need advice sometimes.
