"I wouldn't mind a change of position for Lamine. I once told my son I'd put Dembélé at center forward, and now Luis Enrique has put him at PSG and he keeps scoring goals, I think Lamine would also enjoy it more, and he'd also touch the ball more in that position. Sometimes on the wing you don't touch the ball. Although it's true that it might solve one problem and we'd have another."
"I think Lamine got himself into a mess he didn't have to get into in the days leading up to El Clásico with his statements, I get the feeling he likes to be in every situation, here, there... but I don't think that's doing him any good. As a friend, I'd give him Vinicius as an example, who's very good but has managed to upset even his own fans."
Marco van Basten recommends moving Lamine Yamal into a central role to increase touches and goal threat, citing Dembélé's success after a positional switch. Van Basten argues that wing positions can limit ball involvement and that a central role could make Yamal enjoy the game more and touch the ball more, while also acknowledging possible new tactical problems. Carles Rexach warns that Yamal's pre-El Clásico comments created unnecessary trouble and advises greater discretion. Rexach suggests using Vinicius as an example of a talented player whose behavior has alienated some fans despite on-field quality.
