Lamine Yamal came out angry in his last game with Barcelona
Lamine Yamal, Barcelona footballer, revealed this Tuesday the reason why he left the bench upset after being substituted against Alavés on the last day of LaLiga EA Sports and stated that it was because he was not “happy” with the level he showed during the clash against the Vitorian team.
In an interview with RNE, the Barça winger denied having been angry with his coach, Hansi Flick, who replaced him in the 67th minute to bring on Ansu Fati.
“I think that more than being angry, it was that I was not happy with my game and I thought I could play better. I think I could have played a better game. The truth is that I demand a lot from myself. I think that is the line I have to follow to be able to play all the games at 100 percent. And nothing, it was with myself,” he said.
