Hupu September 15th News Former Spanish national team goalkeeper Santiago Canisales expressed his views on the dispute between the national team and Barcelona coach Frick about the injury of Lamin Yamal.

The German coach accused the Spanish Football Association of giving Yamal too little rest, but it must be considered that the player returned to Barcelona and not only did not have a rest, but instead went to shoot an advertisement, which allowed him to stand for a long time. It was precisely this detail that was criticized by former goalkeeper Canisales. "Don't worry about the specific type of injury, it depends on the overall situation. You stayed in the national team for nine days, trained, stayed in a hotel, traveled, played two games... You should rest after you come back. These things need to be learned slowly, not everything is for making money, and shooting advertisements."

Canisarez added: "Gomez Juanito, he was my coach when he was in Merida. If he saw us participating in the event on the game day, he would scold us fiercely, really very harshly. He was very persistent in this matter, and he would say, 'Now you must be We must sit, rest, lie down, because this afternoon of the game, I don't want to see anyone doing irrelevant activities, I want you to rest. 'It's obvious that football players have to find a balance between rest and hard work. In addition, the superstars have an extra problem. Their schedule is very tight, and when others rest, they have to attend the event. Yamal is going to shoot advertisements after he comes back from the national team game. Rest is something this child must learn. After all, he is only 18 years old, and he doesn't know everything..."
