Marcelo Bielsa's reflection on Lamine Yamal's talent and style

Lamine Yamal's figure is starting to take over the headlines beyond sports. In that sense, the FC Barcelona player is constantly being watched by the press to know every detail of his personal life.

For this reason, the coach of the Uruguayan national team, Marcelo Bielsa, defended the professionalism of Barça's new '10'. And not only that, but he also praised his greatness.

"If you have a player like the Barça winger (Lamine Yamal)... That type of player solves the offensive game, regardless of the analysis. He breaks the analysis and improves his team because he eliminates opponents on his own, without anyone's help," Bielsa pointed out.

Bielsa is clear: Yamal doesn't need help, like Messi... not like Cristiano

In this sense, the 'Loco' not only spoke about Yamal's professionalism, but also made a comparison, where he included Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappé.

The 70-year-old strategist emphasized that players like Lamine or the Argentine star, a legend of the Blaugrana team, can create plays on their own, unlike the Portuguese and the French, who need more help.

"He doesn't even need powerful passes, because they give him lateral passes, he receives them and dribbles past everyone. Just like Messi and other players who change the game. Mbappé or Cristiano Ronaldo need attacking midfielders, but both Messi and the Barça winger don't need them (...)," he added.

In this way, the technical director native to Rosario took advantage of the microphones to talk about one of the best players in the world, who lately is being criticized for any aspect of his life.

Parties, girlfriends and beach: Bielsa doesn't buy the extra-sports

In this order of ideas, it is worth remembering that the private life of the right winger of Barça took center stage after his 18th birthday party, moment from which he also began to be seen with the Argentine singer Nikki Nicole, with whom rumors suggest that he has a romantic relationship.

However, Bielsa, when referring to this topic, was also blunt, implying that the player, beyond sports, can also lead a normal life, with a partner and have fun with his friends, quoting Luis de la Fuente, coach of Spain.

"(...) A journalist was talking about the player's parties in Mallorca. De la Fuente is astute and explains that it doesn't matter because he trains two hours a day, goes to the gym for two hours, eats well, is followed by a physiotherapist, a kinesiologist and is forced to sleep a certain number of hours," he argued.

Before this, he pointed out that De la Fuente, stated that Lamine's new celebration refers to placing the “magician's hat” and not a crown, as the press points out.

In this same line, Marcelo Bielsa pointed directly at the press, insinuating that journalists are more focused on Lamine Yamal's private life than on his sports career.

"Of course, he has a girlfriend and goes out at night, but what do journalists highlight? These vacation outings that are transmitted in an attractive way or this methodical rigor? What does the media do? Scam!", the coach sentenced.

The Uruguayan society, an example for Bielsa

The coach also used Uruguayan society as an example, highlighting that it does not tend to fall into this type of “circus” set up by the press. He also highlighted that values such as ethics, integrity and generosity have currently been replaced.

Bielsa completely unloaded against journalism, of whom he said that the most important thing should be “credibility”. Do you think the coach is right in his arguments?
