Transfer News Live, citing El Larguero, reports that Barcelona head coach Hans-Dieter Flick and the team's winger, Lamin Yamal, have developed a coldness in recent weeks. The reason is the conflict surrounding the injury in September: Flick openly criticized the Spanish national team's doctors for assessing the player's condition "based more on the player's words." This caused discontent within the club.
Upon his return from the national team, Yamal missed four matches for Barça and recently suffered another minor injury. Sources indicate that the coldness in the coach-player relationship after this incident also affected the player's performance.
Inside the club, a way to calm the situation is being sought: the medical staff is tightening individual control protocols, and Flick, while preserving the young talent, expects discipline and a full return to the field. It is said that 18-year-old Yamal is also in a hurry to play, but it is necessary to correctly dose the loads.
The October national team break gives Barça a chance to breathe: Yamal's recovery, improving the psychological background, and not letting the internal climate cool down are priorities for the club. The Catalans aimed to safely restore his form without soon escalating the conflict - as the young winger's health and free play are crucial in the team's attack.
The fans are waiting for one thing: health to be the top priority, and on the field, the Yamal-Flick partnership will be as effective as it was in the first days.
