In response to recent criticism, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick stated on Saturday that he will “protect” teenage star Lamine Yamal.
The 18-year-old winger struggled last weekend when Barca, the champions, lost, leaving them five points adrift in La Liga.
Yamal’s comments before the game, which made headlines among Los Blancos supporters and a significant portion of the Spanish media, were also controversial.

Before Barca’s game against Elche on Sunday in La Liga, Flick stated, “We speak with him… we are very honest together, he with me and I with him, and this is the best way.”
“I will always be there for him,” he declared. He’s a fantastic player, fantastic guy, young player, and great leader for us.
Yamal has been dealing with a groin injury for a few weeks, but despite starting the Clasico, he still appears to be affected by it.
Lamine is excellent. He’s doing well, he said in a recent conversation, and I just spoke to him.
He obviously experiences some days of pain, but now he really works hard and does a lot better in these areas. This is what we can say because he is on a good evolution.
Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo are back at work, according to the German coach, but Barca are still without Pedri Gonzalez, Gavi, and Joan Garcia, among others.
Lewandowski and Olmo’s returns, according to Flick, had contributed to improving the training’s quality.
The last two training (sessions) were excellent, added Flick, “What I can see now with Dani and also with Lewy back.”
“They raise the standard and quality, and they also raise the level of the other players, as well as the younger players. It’s nice to see, and we’ll probably show it tomorrow.
Eder Sarabia, a former Barca assistant coach under Quique Setien, will lead the promoted side as they take on Elche at the Olympic Stadium.
