Barcelona's coach Hansi Flick has advocated for stricter penalties for dangerous tackles after Lamine Yamal experienced a serious injury during a match against Las Palmas. Despite Yamal's gruesome injury, captured in a social media post, he may be able to play in an upcoming Copa del Rey match. Flick emphasized the need to protect all players from rough play, arguing that consistent yellow cards would deter hard fouls. Yamal, previously defending referees amid criticism, acknowledged the challenges referees face in making decisions and the inevitability of complaints from teams.
I think he will be able to play, I have a positive feeling.
If they don't get yellow cards, hard fouls keep being repeated.
We have to protect them. I think it's the sensible thing to do.
The job of a referee is very difficult, and if you call for one side the other is going to complain.
