The Pole is enthusiastic about the irruption of the striker but calls for caution
“I have seen many youngsters training and I thought they were good, he is different”
“I should still have a childhood. How many players who started playing in the first team at top clubs at the age of 16 have played longer than they were 30? You won’t find any. Maybe one or two.”
This is how Robert Lewandowski, Barça striker, expressed himself in an interview in Poland about Lamine Yamal, the young sensation of Barça.
“It’s more difficult for these youngsters because of social networks. Before it was easier, we didn’t read everything,” the Polish striker pointed out.
“I don’t want to say that he shouldn’t play. I don’t want those words to be taken that way. I love Lamine Yamal. I have seen many youngsters training and I thought they were good, he is different,” added the Pole.
In addition, Lewandowski insisted that Lamine “is a football fan.”
“It is a challenge for him, for his environment, for the club, not to break that balance,” says the Barça striker, who has not hesitated in his latest interviews to ask Xavi for more offensive players in the lineup.
