Spanish coach: Yamal must be strong after taking aim
Description
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has warned Lamine Yamar to get used to rough treatment on the pitch after the Barcelona winger was targeted during Spain's 1-0 UEFA Nations League win over Denmark.
The 17-year-old Yamal was seen limping back to the team bus after the game ended with several strong interceptions by Denmark.
"You have to be as tough as the rules allow," de la Fuente told a news conference when asked about his thoughts on Yamal's challenge against Denmark.
"There's a referee there to draw the line. Against young players with his talent, [opponents] try to intimidate and find connections.
"Referees have to protect these talented players, but Ramin has to get used to it. I hope it goes his way, Flower Power, but that's the way the sport is."
