Lamine Yamal<\/strong> is once again at the epicenter of the controversy between FC Barcelona<\/strong> and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). In an interview on Esport3, journalist Joaqu\u00edn Maroto, deputy director of the As newspaper, accused the Federation and coach Luis de la Fuente of using the call-up of the young Bar\u00e7a forward to provoke the Blaugrana club.<\/p> Before the relapse of Lamine<\/a><\/strong>‘s groin discomfort, which will leave him off the Spain list<\/strong>, the press conference of the Riojan coach was already marked by tension.<\/p> Maroto questioned the medical decision in September, when Voltaren was injected into the player’s gluteus to force his participation, a fact that also affected Nico Williams<\/strong>, who was also injured after that FIFA date.<\/p> The accusation of “playing with risk” with key players such as Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams<\/strong> provoked the irritation of De la Fuente<\/a><\/strong>, who merely responded that “the risk is always there.” However, for Maroto, the RFEF<\/strong> acted with arrogance and irresponsibility, ignoring the medical warnings from both Bar\u00e7a and Athletic Club. In his statements to Esport3<\/em>, the journalist was forceful:<\/p> “The Federation lied blatantly. There was a medical report of the puncture and a document from Athletic asking to dose Nico Williams. The RFEF ignored those warnings.”<\/p> <\/blockquote> The deputy director of the newspaper AS also expressed his disappointment with Aitor Karanka<\/strong>, current technical director of the National Team. As he explained, Karanka refused to answer his messages, claiming that he only attends to sports directors, despite the fact that Maroto also holds that title. “In the Federation they believe they can deceive journalists,” he lamented.<\/p> The toughest point of the intervention came when Maroto assured that the presence of Lamine Yamal in the list of called-up players<\/a><\/strong> was not due to sporting criteria, but to a strategy to bother the Bar\u00e7a club:<\/p> \ud83d\udd25 Tensa roda de premsa de Luis de la Fuente For Maroto, recent cases such as the long-term injuries of Gavi<\/strong> or the problems of Pedri<\/strong> should have served as a warning to take extreme care. “Lamine is the best player of the moment and does not deserve to go through this ordeal,” he said.<\/p> The words of Joaqu\u00edn Maroto<\/em><\/strong> have added more fuel to an already burning fire between Bar\u00e7a<\/strong> and the RFEF<\/strong>. In recent weeks, the management of the cul\u00e9 players in the National Team has been a source of conflict, with Lamine Yamal<\/strong> at the center of the debate. The young star has been suffering from pubalgia that has kept him out of several matches<\/a><\/strong> in LaLiga and the Champions League.<\/p> Meanwhile, within the Bar\u00e7a club, there is insistence that the priority is to recover the player progressively, avoiding relapses that compromise his future. The controversy opens a new chapter in the complicated relationship between Bar\u00e7a and the National Team<\/strong>, especially regarding the management of young stars.<\/p> From the Catalan entity, the slogan has been clear: protect the footballer. Lamine’s absence against Sevilla<\/a><\/strong> and the expected recovery of two to three weeks reinforce the position of Bar\u00e7a<\/strong>, which considers it unacceptable to expose the player to unnecessary risks at a key moment in the season.<\/p> In this context, Maroto’s accusations only serve to highlight the lack of harmony between the club and the RFEF<\/strong>, a fracture that threatens to widen further if a joint protection plan is not established for the emerging stars of Spanish football.<\/p> Tense climate between Bar\u00e7a and the National Team<\/h2>
“They called up Lamine to provoke Bar\u00e7a”<\/h2>
