Last night, journalist Jose Alvarez explained on El Chiringuito: "He's not angry, but he's annoyed. Lately, more than ever. He receives criticism on a professional level. I'm told Lamine doesn't care if people talk about his haircut, his clothes, etc.

"But he's bothered by insinuations that he's unprofessional. For example, his delay with Flick, the helicopter ride, saying he doesn't take care for himself. He does take care for himself; he has a physiotherapist.

"With the national team, he fought to play even while injured. It bothers him that people question his professionalism. He won't respond with words, but by scoring goals."
