Hansi Flick received the award for best coach of the year from Bild. At the award ceremony, he made a good prediction for Lamine Yamal. Why does Flick believe Yamal will be a star?
Hansi Flick was honored by the German newspaper 'BILD' as the best coach of the 24/25 season, in recognition of his work in his first season at FC Barcelona, where he lifted three trophies: the Spanish Super Cup, the Copa del Rey, and LaLiga.
Upon receiving the award, the German coach spoke about the current situation of the *azulgrana* club, but above all, he praised Lamine Yamal and his future. For the Heidelberg native, the 18-year-old footballer is on track for a legendary career.
Hansi Flick has a great premonition about Lamine Yamal
Lamine Yamal was one of the fundamental pillars for the successful 24/25 season, where the *culé* team won all three national titles and came very close to returning to a Champions League final.
In this regard, Hansi Flick only has praise for the *culé* '10' who, despite his young age, is one of the best players in the world and believes he will continue to dominate world football in the short and long term.
"He is an absolute genius. Especially at his age, at 18, he decides matches by himself. He is on the right track. He is also very intelligent."
This will be Flick's second season with the young winger and the Mataró native's third full season with the first team. Last season, Yamal scored 18 goals and provided 23 assists.
In the first two LaLiga matches against Mallorca and Levante, he already has one goal and one assist, becoming indispensable for the German coach. Since making his debut with Barça in 2023, the Mataró native has 26 goals and 35 assists in 108 matches.
Considering his fantastic form and meteoric rise to stardom, the *azulgrana* coach is clear about what the ceiling of the new *culé* '10' will be in the coming years:
"Of course, he is still very young, at 18, and he has to learn from others. We support him. I am convinced that he will be one of the best players the world of football has ever seen."
