One of the footballers of the moment is Lamine Yamal. The Barca and Spanish national team star was the protagonist on Tuesday on ‘RNE’, a channel to which he gave a wide-ranging interview in which he spoke, firstly, about his anger at being substituted in the match against Alaves.
"More than angry is that I was not happy with my performance. I demand a lot of myself and that's the line I have to follow to play at 100 per cent," said the 'Cules' star, who revealed that Flick asked him about his reaction.
"He asked me why I was like that, if it was because of the change or because of my performance. I could have helped the team and I told him that for the next game I would be 100 per cent. He is very close to everyone, both the youngsters and the veterans, those who play more and those who play less. That makes us all feel very comfortable in the dressing room and those on the bench come out with a lot of confidence as well," he said.
Finally, Lamine recalled Iniesta, the scorer of the goal that gave Spain their first and only World Cup to date, who on Tuesday announced his retirement from football. "The truth is that at the World Cup (2010) I wasn't aware of it yet, but I remember going to Camp Nou and seeing him alongside Messi and Neymar, and he made everything easy. Football will miss him a lot," he concluded.
