Pep Guardiola has nothing but praise for Lamine Yamal. The Spanish coach has admitted to being a huge fan of his 17-year-old compatriot, even going so far as to ask for news from Rodri, the prodigy’s team-mate in the national team.“When Rodri comes back from the national team, I always ask him and he speaks highly of him. You see, at that age, if you play for Barça with continuity and then go to the national team to play, it’s because you’re special. If Xavi gave him his debut, it’s because he saw something different from the others.”Guardiola revealed in the columns of Sport.
The 53-year-old tactician, however, hopes that Yamal will be able to last over time. Football is a sport that can go very quickly and the Catalan knows this better than anyone. “I hope that when he is 25 we will not get tired of him, these things happen. Expectations are very high. There will be drops in performance, but we must remain calm. His potential is spectacular. He plays very well, he is decisive.” Words that should touch Lamine Yamal, especially when we know the importance that Pep Guardiola can have in modern football, especially on the Barcelona side.
