No curfew for Lamine Yamal – Spain boss
WHAT DE LA FUENTE SAID
Speaking about Lamal at his press conference, De la Fuente said: “We talk to him daily.
“He shows a maturity inappropriate for his age, but he is in developing both as a footballer and as a person. We are all responsible in that process. We are going to do our job and let him play. Nothing more.
“I don’t know the German legislation on whether Lamine has to be removed at 11pm… We don’t think so.”
DID YOU KNOW?
It had been thought that if Yamal had had to work later than 11pm then the Spanish FA would have had to pay a €30,000 fine. With the game against Georgia kicking off at 9pm local time, the full-time whistle would be cutting it fine to ensure Lamal had completed playing and all the post-game duties. De la Fuente is unfazed and will be playing his winger who has been one of the players of the tournament.
GettyWHAT NEXT FOR YAMAL?
Should Yamal and Spain see off the challenge of Georgia they will face the hosts Germany, who saw off Denmark in controversial circumstances on Saturday night. Should he continue to impress, Yamal will continue to attract interest from Paris Saint-Germain who want to break the world transfer record to make him Kylian Mbappe’s heir.
