‘He can do it’: Hansi Flick suggests NEW position for Lamine Yamal

'He can do it': Hansi Flick suggests NEW position for Lamine Yamal

“Lamine or Raphinha could play behind the striker, either of them,” Hansi Flick told the media after Barcelona’s 2-1 win against Valencia.

Lamine Yamal as a central attacking midfielder? Sounds interesting given how cool the youngster’s passing and vision is.

Against Valencia already, the 17-year-old sometimes moved into the central areas, trying to provide Robert Lewandowski with the last pass. Raphinha tried to do it too, and he feels more comfortable in that position.

Pedri is expected to be Barca’s first-choice attacking midfielder once he’s fully fit. Dani Olmo, Ilkay Gundogan and Fermin could play there too.
