Lamine Yamal is enjoying a well-deserved vacation after his victory with Spain at Euro 2024. The young Barça striker, a real sensation of this European Nations Championship, is now establishing himself as one of the greatest hopes of his generation.
Blowing out his 17 candles on July 13, the former star of La Masia already has a record of 10 goals and 17 assists in 64 matches. A thunderous debut as a professional that inevitably draws the spotlight on him.
“They flatter you and praise you but will have no qualms about saying otherwise.”
Aware of the dangers of media hype, Spain coach Luis De La Fuente was keen to warn the Catalan prodigy. “This is the process he has to follow. He has been very well supported by the veterans. They have always supported and guided him. We told him to be calm, patient, that it is a very long process because the same people who flatter you and praise you but will have no qualms about saying the opposite. This is the reality,” he explained.
“He has to mature, even though he is very mature for his age. More than other children. These experiences help him grow. He has to strengthen himself on a personal level, continue to grow as a person, acquire values. This is how he will develop on a professional level,” continued De La Fuente.
