Lamine Yamal is now far from the lawns. Indeed, an injury to the biceps femoris of his left leg put an end to his end of season with FC Barcelona. Furthermore, Jorge Mendes, his agent, wanted to send him a clear message. The Portuguese encouraged the Catalan star to take inspiration from Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he considers an absolute reference in the industry, in order to get back into shape.
“Cristiano is the best player in history and also an impeccable example off the field. This is the model that we must pass on to children”he said, after the announcement of Yamal’s injury. The Portuguese followed the Al-Nassr striker for almost two decades and he therefore wanted to highlight the former Madrilenian as well as Lionel Messi. “I always ask them if they want to be like Cristiano or Messi off the pitch, or like others”. In any case, the president of Gestifute will have done his part of the work.
