Didn t take good care of the players? Spanish coach: Frick has also led the national team, and is surprised that he said so
The Spanish team officially announced the list of players who went to the World Cup in October, with Barcelona players such as Yamal and Pedri being selected.
Previously, Barcelona coach Frick told the media: The Spanish team let Yamal play with discomfort, which is not a way to care about the players, and they have not taken good care of their own players.
Spanish coach De La Fuente responded at a press conference.
Frick once said: The national team did not take good care of their own players
Drafuente:
There is no conflict between Frick and I. He has also served as the head coach of the national team and knows what our coach should do. I think he can understand this. But I was surprised that a former national team coach would think so. That's all.
Have you talked to anyone in Barcelona about this?
Drafuente:
We have two very important World Cup qualifiers to play, and the rest are not important, so that's it.
What happened to Yamal on the last international competition day? Did he ask to play with injuries?
Drafuente:
I always tell the truth. These are normal pains, but he didn't mention any problems. He did feel a little uncomfortable at the end of the game. But before the game, there wasn't. He had no discomfort, so nothing happened. His discomfort seemed to happen only after the game.
Barcelona coach Flick served as the head coach of the German team from 2021 to 2023 and led the German team to the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
