😤 De La Fuente criticises Barça and praises Yamal: Lamine wanted to stay | OneFootball

The RFEF issued a statement on Tuesday morning in which it specified that there is anger with Barcelona over Lamine Yamal.

Within 'La Roja', there is frustration that the player underwent a treatment, that this was communicated to the national team on Monday night, and that it was specified he must rest for 7 to 10 days.

Afterwards, Lamine Yamal returned to Barcelona, where he was approached by several journalists, but the winger did not want to answer their questions.

However, Luis De La Fuente did speak out. The Spanish coach spoke on 'Radio Nacional de España' and addressed the issue regarding the Barça winger.

There he said: "You have no information, you don’t know any details, and then they tell you—health matters of a footballer—well, you’re left surprised. I’ve been with him, reassuring him, he wanted to stay, he’s a player who is fully committed to the cause of the National Team. He wanted to stay, out of desire, but obviously it was impossible. We’ve been with him now and he has said goodbye."

Finally, he clarified what’s happening with Barcelona: "There is no conflict with Barça, far from it, and just as I respect Barça’s decisions, I also demand that mine are respected. And in that sense, there should be no problem."
