Hansi Flick spoke of the frustration of Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal following their substitutions against Young Boys.
Flick was unfazed by Lewandowski and Yamal’s frustration, which was evident when they were substituted in FC Barcelona’s 5-0 win over Young Boys in the Champions League. Lewandowski was on the verge of a hat-trick when he was substituted 15 minutes from time, while Yamal – who was criticized for his reaction by former FC Barcelona striker Jonathan Soriano – was substituted without scoring or make an assist while the Blaugrana led 4-0.
Of course, the Polish striker had his eyes on the ball while Yamal also wanted to score against opponents who had 20 shots on target during the match. But they are two of Barcelona’s most important players and, with all three points already secured, Flick was keen to manage their minutes ahead of the trip to Alaves in La Liga this weekend.
“Positive” anger
“It’s normal for them to get angry if you change them. Everyone wants to play 90 minutes,” Flick said. “ But things are as they were and changes had to be made. I make decisions and they accept them. Lamine’s attitude is very positive.”
Barcelona, who suffered their first defeat of the season in the league against Osasuna last weekend, can count on Yamal at the top of his game this season.
