Hansi Flick advises Lamine Yamal to keep working hard to maintain top-level play for years to come
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has given Lamine Yamal some advice to continue his impressive career at the club, while also praising Raphinha and Pedro Gonzalez Lopez Pedri for their impressive performances last season.
‘I always say he’s a genius and สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ he’s only 17. We have to help him. Everything is fine. If he wants to play at the highest level in the next 15 years, he has to train very well and be mentally ready. He’s smart. It’s not just about having fun, you have to work.’
‘And a player with his talent has to do that. He has good examples in the team, like Raphinha, who trusts him a lot as well.’
Flick also spoke about Raphinha, who lacked confidence when he arrived at the club, and the Brazilian admitted that without the German coach he would have decided to leave the Blaugrana last summer.
‘I saw him play here for the first time and knew what kind of player he was. He was very mobile, made the final passes, assisted Lewandowski. I also saw that he needed confidence. He’s Brazilian and has quality, but he also has heart, mind and attitude. He always plays defensively. He has a lot of potential.’
He continued by talking about Pedro Gonzalez Lopez Pedri, another standout player for Barca in recent seasons: ‘He’s very good. When Pedri gets the ball, it’s great to watch him play. It’s great to have him in the team. Also, in the coming years, he could be a leader. He’s only 22 years old.’
