In a recent interview with the newspaper ‘Marca’, Luis de la Fuente discussed the team’s recent victory in the Euro Cup in Germany, highlighted the individual performances of some players, and when asked, specifically mentioned Lamine Yamal.
At just 17 years old, the FC Barcelona winger has been a standout player in the continental competition, as acknowledged by the coach. However, De la Fuente also cautions him about the complexities of football and the need to be careful.
De la Fuente mentioned in the Madrid newspaper that it is important to protect Lamine even more now, stating, “It is part of the process he has to go through. He has been guided well by the more experienced players. They have supported and guided him throughout. We need to stay calm, be patient, as this journey is long. The same people who praise you today might criticize you tomorrow. That’s just how it is.”
Furthermore, he emphasized that “Lamine needs to mature, although he is already quite mature for his age. These experiences will help him develop. He needs to work on personal growth, continue to evolve as a person, and build on his values. This will contribute to his professional growth.”.
