“Pressure doesn’t exist” – Barcelona star Lamine Yamal explains secret to meteoric rise

There is a multitude of impressive things about the trajectory of Lamine Yamal in the tender age of just 17, but perhaps the one who stands out most, is his ability to tackle pressure. The Teenage Star has not shown any signs of phased at every stage of its development, even though he went from his professional debut to Global Superstar in the 18 -month space.

Questions have been asked about whether it is healthy or safe for someone who is so young to occupy the spotlight to such a extent, with his rise unprecedented in modern times. However, his personality may explain why both Barcelona and Spain have had so confidence to give him opportunities. Asked how he deals with the pressure, Lamine Yamal says it just doesn't exist.

“Everyone starts all over again when they start playing, so there is no busy. It is only when you start having bad games that is the excuse that they use is busy. I think it is something that does not exist when you think about enjoying yourself and having a good time; That's what I'm trying to do. “

This does not mean that at no time during his progress he had problems with teething problems and quickly went through the ranks in La Masia.

“Going up by the youth ranks is all very nice, but the reality is that for a 14-year-old, with a 19-year-old, is difficult. In the morning I would go to school with my friends where we would mess, and then I went to the dressing room where there were children about things like to pay for their flat. “

“These were the kind of problems that I discussed with the club psychologist, who helped me a lot. The adjustment process would have been very difficult for me. In the end I was just a 'snotaap' for them, “he explained to Dazn, as quoted by Sport.

There is little feeling about it now. Although it was perhaps exaggerated at that time, there was a media storm when veteran Robert Lewandowski would hold the then 16-year-old Lamine Yamal because he did not pass him. Nowadays, Lamine Yamal manages a lot of respect from his teammates, and although it does not prevent him from telling the stranger, his teammates implicitly trust his decision -making.
