I always see it as recognition, and Lamine is the best in the world in his position, so it’s normal that he’s called up,” he said after Barca’s open training session at the Camp Nou.
“I’d like him to manage his playing time, because Spain is practically qualified. I see him as having superlative quality. He was furious in Bruges because we didn’t win, and he played a fantastic game.”
