Hansi Flick has heaped praise on Lamine Yamal, but has admitted he needs to be 'protected' over the next few years of his development 👀
In the Champions League against Atlético Madrid Yamal completed eight dribbles and created three chances, leading his manager Flick to suggest he could be Spain's greatest ever player 😮
After their game against Atlético Madrid the weekend before the Champions League clash, Yamal was criticised for his reaction to Robert Lewandowski's winner, after which he appeared not to celebrate 😬
🗣️ Flick defended him again, saying: "Lamine is an unbelievable player.
😶 "But he's only 18. And, of course, sometimes he's angry when I change him or maybe when he dribbles past four, five players and then shoots and he misses [like against Atlético]. Sometimes it's for him also frustrating he didn't score this goal.
👏: "He's emotional and [that's] good. I will always support him. He is a fantastic player, on the right way and we are helping him to develop in the right space. It's not good to make this noise around everything he's doing.
🫶 "I know everyone is looking to him because he's a fantastic player. But he's only 18. Every one of us makes mistakes. I said [to him] you can [try things], no problem, I will always protect you.
💫 "And on the pitch, he has to show everyone how good he is; that he will be one of the best, maybe the best player of the future."
