In the last 2 seasons, the talent Lamine Yamal has emerged and received special attention. This season, he continues to play well, scoring 5 goals and 5 assists after 11 matches in all competitions.
However, Yamal has shown signs of slowing down recently. In the last two matches, Barcelona scored 8 goals against Young Boys and Alaves, but the Spanish midfielder did not directly contribute to any goals.
In the match against Alaves, the peak of disappointment was when Yamal was substituted by coach Hansi Flick in the 67th minute. Immediately, people saw the 17-year-old player's face showing dissatisfaction, which was not often seen before. This also led to rumors that Yamal was having some problems with Hansi Flick.
Yamal has now clarified that he was not upset about being substituted, but was disappointed with his own performance. He told RNE: “No, I don’t think it’s because I’m angry with anyone, I’m just unhappy with myself. I demand a lot from myself and always want to play at 100%.
The young midfielder also confirmed that he had spoken and clarified with coach Hansi Flick, avoiding further developments: “He asked me why I was like that, if I was upset about being substituted early. I just confirmed that I was just disappointed in myself, not because of the decision to substitute. Now I am 100% ready for the next match.
He is very close to everyone. Whether it is the young players or the veterans, everyone is given more confidence and that can be seen throughout the team."
