Barcelona boss defends Yamal after El Clasico
"It wasn't easy for him today. We spoke at halftime, we told him we needed him one-on-one, but he didn't have many chances. They defended well, they tried everything to stop him, and we have to accept that. He was fine, but the injury he sustained was serious, and he needs more games to be at his best,"
"We have to give him time and help him, together, so he can get back to his best. The opponents were looking for Lamine and creating two-on-ones to stop him from going inside the box or finishing."
Lamine struggled to impact the match because opponents prioritized stopping him, frequently creating two-on-one situations that prevented his inside runs and finishing. The team addressed tactics at halftime and sought one-on-one involvement, but clear chances remained limited due to disciplined defending. Lamine sustained a significant injury that further reduced his effectiveness and recovery. He requires additional match minutes to rebuild form and fitness. The squad intends to allocate time and coordinated support to aid his recovery and help him return to peak performance.
