Spain manager Luis de la Fuente insisted he simply “does not care” about Hansi Flick’s criticism of his management of Lamine Yamal.
Flick lashed out at the Spanish authorities (RFEF) upon Yamal’s return from international duty, after which he was diagnosed with a groin injury. The Barcelona boss accused Spain of forcing Yamal to play through pain and argued he should have been handed more rest when two comfortable wins—3–0 against Bulgaria and 6–0 against Türkiye—were sealed.
