Van Basten Urges Barcelona to Move Lamine Yamal to Central Role
Dutch football icon Marco van Basten has urged Barcelona coach Hansi Flick to rethink Lamine Yamal’s role on the pitch.
Reacting to Barça’s 4-3 loss to Inter Milan in the second leg of their Champions League semifinal, van Basten said Yamal’s talent is being underused on the right wing. Despite being one of the standout players, the young Spaniard couldn’t find the net as Barcelona exited the competition after a dramatic two-legged tie that ended 7-6 on aggregate.
Van Basten believes the 16-year-old would have a greater impact if played centrally, where he could get more touches and dictate the game. “It’s a shame he plays wide,” van Basten told Ziggo Sport. “He’s dangerous on the right, yes, but he doesn’t get the ball enough. In the middle, he’d have more control, more chances to influence the match.”
He added that Yamal has already proven he can create and score, but his next step is to become the team’s heartbeat. “A player that good should be at the center of the action,” he said.
Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.
It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.
Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.
“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
It has been reported that a four-year ban has been placed on Chelsea’s player, Mykhailo Mudryk, for anti-doping violations.
The player appealed in court on February 25 but has now been handed his punishment, which is a four-year ban from football.
It can be recalled that his last appearance on the field was on November 28, 2024.
