The Spanish team has never paid for Lamine Yamal. On the contrary. The good care given by the Federation and the coach, Luis de la Fuente, has helped him a lot to accumulate more games with Barça.
The history of the October 2023 holiday repeats itself this year. Lamine ended last season with an injury after a tough game at Granada. Luis de la Fuente took him to La Roja, but he was left-handed. He just called him to talk to him, give him confidence and let him go back to Barcelona the next day.
A sign that shows the good relationship between the Rioja coach and the Blaugrana club. Also, last year everything was easier with the presence of the sports director in the national team, Albert Luque, whose friendship with Xavi Hernández made things easier.
Lamine Yamal did not play in the national team’s games against Scotland and Norwayalthough they were very important to qualify for the German Euro Cup, and were able to participate with Barça in the first game after the break against Athletic, and a 1-0 victory for the Blaugrana thanks to a goal from Marc Guiu, a current Chelsea player.
Just to breathe
Lamine Yamal’s body responded throughout the year and He only missed one League game due to rest, it was against Getafe in Montjuïc. In total, he had 37 minutes in 38 League games.
Now the same theme is repeated. Lamine Yamal ended Spain’s match against Denmark with muscle discomfort. De la Fuente could have made him for the duel against Serbia on Tuesday, but he was rested and will not miss Barça’s game against Sevilla in the League.
So far, Lamine Yamal has played in all 9 league games and only came on as a substitute against Osasuna.. His form is much stronger than last season and he is learning to resist contact from his rivals.
