Former Spanish national team coach Javier Clemente<\/strong>, at 75 years old, remains very attentive to current Spanish football events. Retired from the sidelines since 2022, the Vizcaya native surprised by discussing Lamine Yamal<\/strong> and what his career with FC Barcelona<\/strong> and ‘La Roja’ could be.<\/p>\n True to his custom, Clemente did not hesitate to make a controversial prediction about the future of the player from Matar\u00f3. In an interview for the program ‘Qu\u00e8 T’hi Jugues’ on the ‘SER’ network, he assured that **Lamine must be much more professional off the field** if he intends to have a career commensurate with his talent and potential.<\/p>\n “As a player he is very good, but the problem is that, if he doesn’t behave correctly as an athlete in his personal life, he won’t last long. That’s clear. They won’t allow it,” began the former coach of Spain and Athletic Club, among many other clubs and national teams.<\/p>\n In this regard, the Bilbao-born coach, who managed the national team in **the 1994 and 1998 World Cups**, criticized the controversies surrounding the private life of the Blaugrana’s ’10’, as well as the management of the pubalgia<\/a> that has affected him in the last two months.<\/p>\nJavier Clemente believes Lamine Yamal must change to succeed at the elite level<\/h2>\n
