“Sometimes it’s good to pull his ear a little”

Within the preview of the anticipated Champions League match towards PSG, Alejandro Balde referred to Hansi Flick’s phrases about his teammate Lamine Yamal.

The German coach had said that Lamine “is outstanding, however he should deal with working”, a message supposed to stability the winger’s monumental expertise with the necessity for self-discipline and perseverance.

Balde, admired by his buddy’s stage, didn’t hesitate to reward him: “Lamine is a really younger participant, however for me he’s already the very best on the earth. Typically it’s good to say these issues to him and pull his ear a bit of, however what he’s doing at this age is unimaginable.”

Moreover, the full-back highlighted Hansi Flick’s work with Barça’s younger gamers: “We’re a big group of younger gamers, and nobody is born figuring out all the pieces. He teaches us loads, you would say that he’s like a father within the locker room.”

With this, Balde underlines the significance of the coach’s steering, who not solely directs tactically, but in addition helps practice the workforce’s youngest abilities.

Finally, Balde wanted to remember the setback he experienced last season after being eliminated in the semifinals, a moment that left a bitter taste both in him and in the entire team, and that still lingers in the memory of the squad.

“The elimination in Milan was a very hard blow, but this year we will try again. I am confident that we will achieve great things in the Champions League,” he said.

After these words from Alejandro Balde, FC Barcelona suffered a painful defeat at home against Paris Saint-Germain by 1-2.

The match, played at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, began with local dominance, but PSG took the lead with a goal from Senny Mayulu in the 55th minute.

Ferran Torres equalized for the culés in the 70th minute, but in injury time, Gonçalo Ramos scored the winning goal for the Parisian team.

This result marks the first defeat of the season for Barça in European competitions and shows that they are still far from the level of the current European champions.
