""Right now I don't remember what Flick said," De la Fuente commented at an event on Thursday. "Neither is it of any interest to me.""
""This is not taking care of players," Flick said. "Spain have the best team in the world, in every position they are unbelievably good. I am really sad about this [situation].""
""I never really spoke with [De la Fuente about it]. Maybe my Spanish is not good, his English is not good, so this is a problem.""
""Normally, the communication, because we have more players there than just Lamine, could be better. I was also on this side as [the Germany] national team coach, so I know how hard this job sometimes is, but the communication with the clubs was always good.""
Luis de la Fuente stated he neither remembered nor was interested in Hansi Flick's complaints regarding Lamine Yamal. Lamine Yamal rejoined Spain with a slight groin issue that was aggravated after he started both World Cup qualifiers against Bulgaria and Turkey. Yamal returned to Barcelona carrying the injury and has missed multiple matches including fixtures against Valencia, Newcastle United, Getafe and Real Oviedo. Hansi Flick criticized Spain's handling of the player, saying Yamal was unable to train, only played after taking painkillers, and that communication between national team and club could be improved. Yamal is expected to return soon for upcoming Barcelona fixtures.
