Lamine Yamal has been impressing football fans every weekend in the colors of FC Barcelona and with the selection jersey for over a year now. His excellent performances with the Blaugrana and the Roja almost make us forget that the native of Esplugues de Llobregat is only 17 years old. Demanded during almost all the matches since the start of the season, Yamal’s body ended up giving in. Hit in the right ankle against Belgrade in the Champions League (2-5), he is not present for this last meeting of the calendar year with Spain. Asked by Radio Marca on the state of health of the Barcelonan, Luis de la Fuente – who had warned that Lamine Yamal should be better preserved – did not change his mind.
“ I wouldn’t change my thinking by one comma. Lamine is 17 years old and you have to be very careful. Everyone who praises him will criticize him when things go wrong. We take good care of him at Barça, but this sentence about the 1,000 details is not mine. These details are the most important to go far. There has always been a very good player who didn’t succeed and we wonder why, most likely because he didn’t take care of himself. Resource management, nutrition… this is what allows a footballer to go far. Of course, (Leo) Messi, Cristiano (Ronaldo) took care of all these details “, replied the Iberian coach.
