Flick shouldn't play him for one match after medical clears him.
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.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.
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.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.
We all know he played Kounde so much last season because we really didn't have anyone else reliable to play there. Garcia ended up becoming an option only out of necessity. Yamal is a similar case to Messi or Ronaldo, he's going to dictate how long he plays. I don't agree with it, but that is what super stardom does.The point is, he doesn't sub players when games are won to prevent fatigue and muscle overload injuries, see balde and kounde last season.
Did I really need to spell that out for you coot?, I expect better even from you.
Or is it that you're denying that flick doesn't make subs when games are well won, to minimize the chances of his players pickup injuries.
He has no argument to tell a coach to sub a player at any point in a game, if the coach believes the player is fit to play, which DLF did, rightly or wrongly.
Elementary stuff.

And as I said, playing a player a lot while they are healthy, especially when you dont have good other options, is entirely different than playing a player that obviously having discomfort and is on analgesic. I'm not sure how this is even a discussion. It's merely common sense.
You can attempt to be condescending and dress it up like you usually do in an attempt to appear important or get attention, but you're wrong. It is just another attempt to shit on the coach. Could he make subs earlier sometimes, sure, but he really didnt have a choice last season with those two players you gave as an example. And if he did, there is a good chance we wouldn't have walked away with 3 titles and done the best we've done in the CL in years. Facts.
Shitting on a coach that took basically the same team as the year before and transformed them from beta whiners to never give up warriors. Yet you still crying about only 3 titles I guess.
Am drinking beer in the city center and have a good view to the pedestrian zone. First I see a middle aged guy with a Lamine Yamal Barca shirt. Then a kid. Then another kid, this time with the Spanish kit shirt of LY. I am thousands of km away from Barcelona, but seeing so many people, especially kids, wearing Barca kits, warms my heart.
I'll ignore what you have to say about subs, I already replied to zelana, don't need to double post facts.
But the funniest part with you, is you out here constantly thinking I'm a flick hater, because I like Xavi, the two things aren't mutually exclusive, lol.
I can hold two thoughts in my head at the same time, which you seem utterly incapable of, that's a you problem young Padawan.
Check the facts who voted that he was a good coach, while others who ride for him now like he is the second coming of Jesus, were calling him a bum.
Who said we would win a treble after he was appointed manager.
All that being said, he untilized the squad poorly and has no grounds to talk about subbing players in games that are already won.
That's reply #2, if your reply makes sense, I might think about breaking the rule and blessing you with a 3rd.
SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT.
