Hansi Flick was asked today how he is managing Lamine Yamal amid the online relationship scandals, whether they could affect his football career, and why Yamal is yet to return while some of his World Cup-winning teammates have already returned to their respective clubs.
Hansi Flick: “First of all, Lamine is an adult and should be able to handle his responsibilities and affairs outside the football club. There’s no way any online rumor or scandal is going to affect his career because he works hard in training and performs on the pitch, and that’s all that matters to me as his coach.
Secondly, all the Barcelona players who won the World Cup are resuming on the same date. There has never been any special treatment for anyone.”
