Lamine Yamal He has just turned 18 and has to endure a very large pressure, especially for his age. The truth is that it is something that the Barcelona attacker does not refuse, as it works, as happened in the final of the Copa del Rey, generating expectations with a hat in Seville to more than 30 degrees, to hide his new hairstyle, or with the celebration he makes of the goals putting a crown? “Discrepo,” says Luis de la Fuente, the Spanish coach. “For me the celebration was not to wear a crown, it was putting a magicianand I saw him and I said: “It is that he has done magic again.” We have a lot of habit of highlighting the most frivolous, but what must be valued is that A 16 -year -old when he had them, who now has 18, worked as the one who took care as the mostit has a huge talent, trains six hours a day, more gym, plus that training we call invisible … all we have achieved is thanks to that, not to a gesture or that has made a party, which does not matter. It’s like Carlos Alcaraz when I went to Ibiza… Let’s see if you believe that everything Carlos Alcaraz does is because he goes to Ibiza … no, that he works six hours on a track, then he goes to the gym for two hours, then he is with the nutritionist, then he is with the physio, then he sleeps many hours, and from time to time he goes to Ibiza, but he does not win the games because he goes to Ibiza, ”the coach continued defending who is already a star, despite the fact that he is already a star.

Yamal is young, but already veteran, while Jesús Rodríguez It opens into a call from the absolute selection, for the classification matches for the World Cup against Bulgaria and Türkiye. “Last year we already followed it, as many others from the Sub 21; and this year it has started very well and it was the right time and fit into our idea. Next month others will enter, if those moments coincide. You have to value the importance of Spanish base football and we have to take advantage of it,” he says of the source. “He is a band player, now he plays on the left, he also does it on the right, he has overflow, center, impudence, and we like brave people. He had a place in our structure now, and also We send a message to the young people, who have the doors of the National Team open”, He adds. For the end of the time it is now, for other young people like Gonzal [dijo que al atacante todavía le faltaba mili para ir a la absoluta] It was positively. Gonzalo is doing the path he has to travel. Your time will come because it works very well and has very good conditions“Says the coach.”
Carvajal, Rodri, Morata and the family
In the other, extreme, that of veterans, They return to the list, for the classification matches for the World Cup against Bulgaria and Türkiye, Carvajal and Rodri. “The most important news is that they are with us again, enjoying football. They are very important, They are our captainsthe best in the world in their position. They give us a lot both inside and outside the pitch, which is also very important, ”thinks the Rioja coach.“ I have now called them because it is a new stage and we need all the people involved; We all talk about the World Cup, but first we have the classification, which is very hard and we don’t have to forget it. That is why we wanted to start consolidating the concept of family, in addition to that they are in very good condition, I have spoken a lot with them, they are training and playing well … it does not mean that they are going to play or not, but in the role they have to play they will be vital, ”he continues. Neither is missing Morata: “Nothing is given to anyone here, he has earned it because of his career, so he transmits to young people … Álvaro is very important for us inside and outside. He adds a lot, footballing is going to give us many joys, when I see him playing he always see good things, and also helps young people.”
Other aspects that Luis de la Fuente treated
Joan García’s absence
“You see that the pressure is what is, if I had felt it [por llamarlo ahora que está en el Barcelona] I would have brought it. We have known the players for a long time, I had Joan in the Sub 21, we already call each one at the time we believe it has to be. May be later, But not because it is in Barça, we don’t look at it, club players do not come here, this is the Spanish teamDo not make a cabal of whether six or seven are coming here, here comes to defend a shield, a country and a pride of selection. The time of Joan will come for sure, because he is a great goalkeeper. ”
Pitarch and Rachad Juagrán with Spain the U20 World Cup, not with Morocco.
“Three things are needed: that I can, who wants and select you. The most important is the second. If someone is convinced, you will always have open doors. The important thing is that the player is convinced. “
Spain, a favorite for World Cup, does it uncomfortable?
“No one bites a sweet, but the first thing is the classification, which is very difficult, we have seen Italy that has been left out of two World Cups. First we are going to fulfill the steps, and then we talk about it. It is beautiful that they put you among the candidate selections, but then win is very difficult. I do not agree on what the finals are to win them. They are to play them, and sometimes you do things better than the rival and lose.”
Laport’s situation
“I have talked to him and I am looking forward to everything. It is the same as Carva, Rodri, Álvaro … It has a specific weight. We want happy players, and that happens because it has its contractual situation is fixed. Hopefully in October it is prepared to be available, then we will see if we call it or not.”
Fermín and his possible departure from Barcelona
“They are very personal cases, each one has to value many things. First there is the sports plane; the economic, with those figures that are handled, should be secondary. From outside, I cannot comment, what I would like Spanish players to be playing in Spainbecause we have the best competition and it would be better if they were playing in Spain the Zubimendi, Merino … but I understand that the teams outside want Spanish players, because for me they are the most complete in the world in terms of interpretation of the game, in tactical and technical concepts. ”
