Carvajal: “Lamine must measure his steps so that he does not tire of football too soon”

There are some players who shine in the Euro Cup before the direct qualifications start, but no one like Lamine Yamal deserves the comments between praise and surprise of football personalities due to the unusual level of play for a 16-year-old footballer. The winger of FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team has been the center of praise from legends such as Lotthar Matthäus, Rio Fedinand and Gary Lineker. One of his colleagues, Real Madrid full-back Dani Carvajalwarning in an interview with As given everything that was happening at such a young age to Lamine “he had to measure his steps very well so that he didn’t tire of football too soon.”

The Madrid defender did so when asked about his role as a “mentor” during his time at Real Madrid to young footballers such as Brazilians Vinicuis Junior and Rodrygo Goes and about what he “says now to Lamine , although during the year he plays the eternal rival”. Carvajal admitted that, although Lamine is not yet 17 years old, “he is a very mature boy for his age.” “I’ve talked about it with veterans recently,” he admitted. However, using his own career as an example, he warned that at a young age the player must be looked after. “At 17 years old I won the Champions Cup as a youth player. (Lamine) is a pretty prepared boy, but you still have to take care of him, both in the RFEF and I think in his club,” he said. . For Carvajal, “a boy must carefully measure the passes he has to give, so he doesn’t tire of football too soon.”

To do this, the defender of merengue emphasized his recommendation. “I’m telling you, keep your feet on the ground because it’s not easy. Having all the spotlights directed at you when you’re so young is not easy.” “You have to keep him under control, focus on what he has to do and I’m sure he will do very well,” he concluded.
