"Barcelona" club has come to the conclusion that a "new version" has emerged in Lamin Yamal's game. According to the Spanish publication "Marca", the Catalans are particularly pleased that the young football player can play as an attacking midfielder, that is, in the number 10 position.
Idman.Biz reports that Lamin Yamal appeared in the number 10 position for the first time in the game against Real Betis and performed at a high level both in attack and defense. It was a risky decision by head coach Hansi Flick, but Yamal fully justified himself.
The La Masia graduate scored a goal from a penalty in that game, accurately completed 44 passes and made only three mistakes in passing. In addition, Yamal blocked two shots, touched the ball 85 times and recovered the ball from the opponent three times. It is noted that his performance should not be measured only by the penalty he scored – his impact on the overall game was very high.
The source states that Yamal's performance at number 10 gives "Barcelona" an additional tactical advantage. In this case, the team can simultaneously field Runi Bardghini in the starting lineup on the right flank.
It is emphasized that Hansi Flick highly appreciates Lamin Yamal's performance in the new position and plans to use this option in future games as well. Thus, "Barcelona" has begun to assess the potential of its young star in a wider form.
