​FLICK DEFENDS LAMINE

"Lamine is 18 years old and, for me, he's an incredible player. When you watch the game again, it's mind-blowing. Of course, sometimes he gets upset when I sub him off, or frustrated when three players mark him and he doesn't score. He's emotional — and that's a good thing. I will ALWAYS support him."

"He's a FANTASTIC player. He's on the right path and we're helping him develop. We have to take care of him.

It's not good to make a big deal out of everything he does. I know everyone is watching him because he's so talented, but we have to remember he's only 18. We all make mistakes. I told him he can make them - no problem. I will protect him." "What I want from him is to show everyone on the pitch how good he is. He's a great player, and he will be one of the best — maybe the best — in the future."
