"Barcelona" believes 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 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 game against "Real Betis" and performed at a high level both in attack and defense. This was a risky decision by head coach Hansi Flick, but Yamal fully justified himself.
The La Masia graduate scored a goal from a penalty kick in that game, completed 44 accurate passes and made only three passing errors. In addition, Yamal blocked two shots, had 85 touches of the ball and regained possession from the opponent three times. It is noted that his performance cannot 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. Thus, "Barcelona" has begun to evaluate the potential of its young star in a wider format.
