Barcelona believes a "new version" of Lamin Yamal's game has emerged. According to the Spanish publication "Marca," the Catalans are particularly pleased that the young footballer can play as an attacking midfielder, i.e., in the number 10 position.
Idman.Biz reports that Lamin Yamal first appeared in the number 10 position in the match against Real Betis and performed well 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 penalty in that match, completed 44 accurate passes, and made only three passing errors. In addition, Yamal blocked two shots, had 85 touches on the ball, and won the ball back from the opponent three times. It is noted that his performance should not be measured only by the penalty he scored – his overall impact on the 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 evaluate the young star's capabilities in a broader way.
