Lamine Yamal 'puts an end' to the Alavés controversy and pays tribute to Robert Lewandowski

Lamine Yamal is preparing to face a new FIFA date, being a fundamental pillar of Luis de la Fuente's Spain. Precisely in the concentration of the Roja, the star of FC Barcelona has attended the microphones of 'Radio Nacional' to review how these last months have been since he won the Eurocup and consolidated himself as one of the great sensations of world football.

His present with the Spanish national team

A little more than a year after his first call-up with the Spanish team, the Rocafonda native assured that "the truth is that it has gone by very quickly and it seems like it has been two days. I prefer it to go quickly if it goes like this."

"I am coping well with fame, I am enjoying it, having the life of a footballer and working in what you like is good"

This notoriety has been multiplied since his definitive explosion in the Eurocup, a situation that generated the increase in his popularity. "It's true that there are more people who recognise me but with the happiness we had I didn't care (after winning the Euro Cup). But I'm doing well. I do everything at home, so I'm not having many problems," he said.

Being one of the great figures of Barça at just 17 years old, the forward revealed that it is his mother who keeps him grounded. "Whenever I have to talk about something it is with my mother, she calls me before training and at night. But my father and my friends are also there, who are the ones I spend my day to day with, I go to them when I have to talk," he commented.

Lamine 'ended' the Alavés controversy

Lamine also came forward after his apparent annoyance at being substituted in Mendizorroza against Alavés. An annoyance that, according to the player himself, had to do with his performance and not with the change.

"No, I think that more than being angry, it was because I was not happy with my game. I demand a lot from myself and that is the line I must follow to play at 100%"

He also revealed that Hansi Flick spoke to him after this event. "He asked me why I was like that, whether it was because of the change or because of my game. I could have helped the team, I told him that I would be 100% for the next game. He is very close to everyone, to those who play more or less, veterans, he gives a lot of confidence and that is noticeable in the team," he said.

The youth player stressed that they feel good on the pitch and that he hopes they continue playing like this. "We are enjoying it a lot and it shows. We are happy with the freedom and the model of the mister's game and above all for winning, because otherwise people would not be happy. The style of play is demanding, yes, but in the end when you go to press and steal, you have control. It is more physical than last year," he said.

Finally, he was full of praise for Robert Lewandowski after the Pole's spectacular start to the season in front of goal, stating that he hopes he will take the title of top scorer in LaLiga. "Everything you give him, he scores. We are very happy for him. Hopefully he will be the top scorer," he concluded.
