Luis de la Fuente, head coach of the Spanish national team, caused a stir when he publicly announced that he would not call up Lamine Yamal to the team. This was not a random decision or based on bias; On the contrary, it is the result of a thorough analysis of the young player’s attitude, spirit, and overall impact on the team environment. The reasons de la Fuente gave show that Yamal is not only a bad choice professionally but also a “danger” to the stability and collective spirit of the Spanish team.

First of all, Yamal’s attitude on the field has disappointed many people. Although his technical talent cannot be denied, Yamal’s competitive spirit and professional attitude are worrying. According to many sources from within the club and the Spanish youth team, Yamal often shows arrogance and lack of respect for teammates and coaches. A talented player who does not know how to control himself, does not know how to put collective interests above personal interests, will become a burden for any team, especially the national team, where solidarity and discipline are top priorities.

Luis de la Fuente also emphasized that Yamal often makes mistakes in important situations, and those mistakes are not just bad luck. They come from a lack of concentration and a lack of seriousness in training and competition. A young player who cannot control his emotions and behavior on the field will create risky moments, directly affecting the match results. The national team has no room for such “predictable accidents”.

Another factor in de la Fuente’s decision to drop Yamal was the negative influence he could have on other players. In a football team, team spirit and mutual support are vital factors. Yamal, with his arrogant and immodest behavior, can lower the morale of other players, creating internal conflicts. De la Fuente has repeatedly emphasized that he does not want any individual to disrupt the harmony within the team. In his eyes, Yamal is not only a player lacking control but also a “mental virus” capable of spreading instability to the entire team.

Luis de la Fuente also mentioned the long-term development aspect of the team. His philosophy is to build a strong team, based on discipline, competitive spirit and ability to withstand pressure. Yamal, although young and promising, has not shown any signs of mental maturity. Bringing him to the team now could be a dangerous gamble, threatening the team’s steady development process. In the context of major tournaments approaching, the Spanish team needs certainty, not potential risks from a “self-proclaimed star” player.

In addition, Luis de la Fuente did not hesitate to point out that Yamal is often influenced by factors off the field, including the media and social networks. A player whose mind is often distracted by public opinion and fame will find it difficult to focus on his professional duties. The national team is not a playground to test popularity or create “media effects”. It requires absolute concentration, high fighting spirit and commitment to teammates. Yamal, according to de la Fuente, was not ready for these rigorous demands.

Many football experts and former Spanish players agree with de la Fuente’s views. They emphasized that Yamal, despite possessing outstanding personal skills, often showed impulsiveness, lacked tactical thinking, and rarely knew how to restrain himself when provoked. In a team environment where coordination and tactics are key, such a “lack of control” individual not only causes difficulties for the coach but can also cost the team dearly in important matches.

Not only stopping at the field, Luis de la Fuente also warned about Yamal’s outside influence. His personality and attitude can create unnecessary scandals, put public pressure and distract the entire team. A national player must be a role model for young people, must demonstrate discipline and sportsmanship. Yamal, with his immature behavior, does not meet this standard. De la Fuente emphasized that the Spanish team has no room for “negative role models”, no matter how talented the player is.

Luis de la Fuente also did not forget to mention the experience factor. Yamal is still too young, has not experienced big matches, and has not shown the ability to withstand pressure in decisive situations. The national team cannot rely on future potential while ignoring the reality of current risks. A psychologically immature player can ruin carefully constructed strategies, leading to unnecessary failures.

Another important point is that Yamal often puts himself above the team, showing that he is the “number one star”. This behavior not only causes internal dissatisfaction but also reduces tactical effectiveness, when teammates do not receive the necessary cooperation. De la Fuente frankly criticized Yamal for this selfishness, considering it one of the main reasons for removing him from the team. The national team is where every player must know how to sacrifice personal interests for the collective good, and Yamal has never proven that.

Luis de la Fuente also emphasized that, in addition to skills and physical strength, a player must possess “tactical intelligence” and the ability to adapt to any situation. Yamal, despite having good personal technique, often makes wrong decisions in critical moments. These are not minor errors; They can ruin the whole match and reduce the team’s reputation. Eliminating Yamal is de la Fuente’s way of protecting the team from unnecessary risks.

Ultimately, de la Fuente concluded that the decision to disqualify Yamal did not come from jealousy or prejudice, but from a serious and realistic analysis. He wants to ensure that the Spanish team will be a strong, united and stable team, where the players know how to obey discipline, respect teammates and always put collective interests first. Yamal, with all his talent but unstable attitude and immature spirit, would not fit this standard. Yamal’s elimination is a strong message: individual talent is never more important than discipline and team spirit.

For those reasons, Luis de la Fuente has made a definitive decision: Lamine Yamal will never be called up to the Spanish team at the present time. This is a serious step, protecting the reputation and morale of the team, while also sending a clear warning that attitude, spirit and discipline are more important than any individual talent. Yamal, with his selfish, impulsive and immature behavior, will continue to have to prove himself before he can hope to make the team.
