Rising star of world football, Lamine Yamal has quickly become one of the most scrutinized players on the planet since his emergence. A trend which is confirmed even more this season.
For several weeks, the young FC Barcelona striker has attracted attention, as much for his now recurring pubalgia problem as for his extra-sporting activities. Despite the considerable pressure this represents for the Spaniard, he can count on the support of his agent, Jorge Mendes.
Mendes’ strong message
In the columns of Mundo Deportivo this Friday, the Portuguese stepped up to defend his protégé.
“I don’t understand all this noise around Lamine Yamal. We all turned 18 and were young. As President Laporta said, we must support and help him as much as possible, because he represents a major asset for the club.explained the businessman.
“Lamine is the player everyone is talking about on a global scale, everyone agrees that he is the great footballer of the present and the future. Having everyone’s eyes on you is also a lot of responsibility and pressure. He is doing very well and we must continue to help him, in particular by focusing exclusively on his work”added the Portuguese.
