Yamal Is Coping Well With Aggressive Defending – Hansi Flick

Barcelona manager, Hansi Flick has come out to say that he is not a fan of comments comparing Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even if he acknowledges the Barcelona teenager’s genius on the pitch, he does not think the youngster should be likened to all-time greats just yet.

He added that what Yamal did vs Alaves was simply unbelievable, and he is very happy to have him as a player.

His words, “I am not a fan of that. Lamine is a genius. What he did today, in some situations, it’s unbelievable. I am very happy that he is playing for Barca. It’s great. For 17 years old, he’s doing great, and every match is good. And the opponents are not so easy to play against. They are strong, defending good, they try to attack him, aggressive, but he’s doing good. I love it.”

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona 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. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.

The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.

In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
