Barcelona's head coach Hans-Dieter Flick has commented on media reports of a conflict between him and Lamine Yamal.
Idman.Biz reports that the German coach, in a statement to the newspaper "AS", said that the news spread is false.
He emphasized that the sports director Deco's interference in the matter, and supposedly, L. Yamal's entry into the game with PSG after his request is a baseless claim.

Tension between Barcelona's head coach Hans-Dieter Flick and midfielder Lamine Yamal is developing along an increasing line.
Idman.biz, citing "Cadena SER", reports that the German expert wanted to punish the 18-year-old football player for being late to the team's training camp and decided to remove him from the squad for the Champions League game against PSG. However, this decision of the head coach was canceled after the intervention of sports director Deco.
According to the source, Hans Flick is known for his principled position and has previously removed Jules Kunde, Rafinha, and Inaki Penya from games for similar disciplinary violations.
This time the matter was resolved without punishment, and Yamal started the match against PSG and spent the entire game on the field. However, this incident has questioned the authority of the head coach and caused internal disagreements in the team.
The club's management is concerned about Yamal's behavior off the field. In their opinion, the football player's lifestyle and attitude to discipline in recent months are worrying. However, the midfielder's talent has made him one of the central figures in Barcelona's sports project. The football player's contract is valid until 2031, and he has already scored two goals and made four assists in the first games of the season.
The club management will work to maintain a balance between Flick's authority and Yamal's status and to ease the conflict. How this situation is resolved will affect not only the atmosphere in the team's dressing room, but also Barcelona's stability in the crucial stage of the season.
