Barcelona forward, Lamine Yamal has come out to explain his angry reaction to being substituted vs Alaves on Sunday. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he just was not happy with his own performance vs Alaves in general, and his anger was not because the manager substituted him.
Yamal added that he already told Flick he intends to help his teammates better in the next game.
His words, “More than angry, I was not happy with my game. I thought I could play better, deep down I thought I could have played a better game. I demand a lot from myself. I think that’s the line I have to follow to be able to play every game at 100 per cent. It was with myself.”
On Flick, “He asked me why I was like that, if it was because of the substitution or why. And I told him it was because of me, that I don’t think I helped the team very well, that I could help more… I told him that I would be 100% in the next game.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona, commonly referred to as Barcelona and colloquially known as Barça, is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona.
There is often a fierce rivalry between the two strongest teams in a national league, and this is particularly the case in La Liga, where the game between Barcelona and Real Madrid is known as “The Classic” (El Clásico).
From the start of national competitions the clubs were seen as representatives of two rival regions in Spain: Catalonia and Castile, as well as of the two cities. The rivalry reflects what many regard as the political and cultural tensions felt between Catalans and the Castilians, seen by one author as a re-enactment of the Spanish Civil War. Over the years, the head-to-head record between the two clubs is 102 victories for Madrid, 100 victories for Barcelona, and 52 draws.
