De la Fuente Advises Lamine Yamal to Keep Developing and Handle the Pressure

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente urged Lamine Yamal to keep working, developing and protecting himself from the pressure around him, praising his maturity despite his young age. The Barcelona star has faced significant media attention since he was sixteen, according to the coach.

De la Fuente said Yamal is still developing and needs support and guidance, explaining that the player shows maturity when away from the spotlight and should handle what surrounds him carefully.

The coach added that it is not easy for a nineteen-year-old player to deal with this level of media attention, but that Yamal handles it naturally. He stressed that continuing his current approach to work and growth could open many doors for Yamal and help him become a legendary player.
