Barcelona star Lamine Yamal is living it up during his offseason break, throwing himself wholeheartedly into parties and entertainment. According to Spanish outlet El Nacional, this carefree lifestyle has raised concerns for the team's head coach, Hansi Flick.
The report highlights Flick's unease with how Yamal is spending his vacation, frequently attending parties. The coach is also troubled by the fact that Yamal will celebrate his 18th birthday on July 13—the very day the squad is scheduled to return from holiday.
Despite the start of preseason preparations, Yamal still plans to throw a spectacular celebration for his milestone birthday. Flick is therefore hoping the young talent will report to the club in top shape and on time.
For the German coach, dedication and professionalism are non-negotiable qualities in his players. He is clearly unwilling to tolerate a lack of discipline—even from a prodigious talent like Yamal.
