Hi Koura- Louis de Lavinti explained the reason for his decision to replace Lamal, Yamal against the Portuguese national team yesterday evening, in the European Nations League final despite the draw.
De La Venette stated: “I went out to the two because we wanted to pump some additional energy in the match, whether Yermi or Alex Baina, they were groaning that energy and that control of the game we needed.”
“They were arriving and hitting, we were looking for it, simply wanted to activate the group a little, especially the wings.”
“With regard to what I said about Lamine, he is tired because the competition started on Thursday and there was not a lot of comfort.
“He is a player like the rest of our wonderful team elements, and today it was time, as he was understood to replace him, in order to give the player some comfort, and I repeat to give additional energy.”
