Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal should avoid off-field mistakes from now on, Rivaldo has said. He recently revealed that any minor misstep will have a great impact on the teenager’s football career.
Speaking during an interview with the press, Rivaldo urged the teenager to reflect on his achievements and avoid future controversies that could derail his current trajectory.

According to him, Lamine should strive to ensure all the media attention he gets focuses on his on-field brilliance, not his off-field lifestyle.
He stated that Yamal is a very intelligent boy, so he must realize how crucial his present decisions are for his future.
“Lamine is a kid with a sound mind, he’s intelligent, and he’s aware of the times he’s living in. But, unfortunately, these things happen, especially when you’re so young and already so famous.
Any behaviour ends up having a greater impact due to age and media exposure. We hope you reflect on everything you have built up to now, to avoid this type of situation,” he said.
Rivaldo further noted that football lovers want the youngster to keep shining because his talent has held many fans spellbound.
The Barca legend concluded by saying that he hopes no other uncomfortable rumours will surface about Yamal in the near future.
“Those of us who love football want him to continue shining, to play well, and to avoid any controversies that could harm his career. What we want is to talk about what he does on the field, which is wonderful.
So, I hope no more rumours come out, because that’s annoying, it’s sad. We just want to see him shine with the ball at his feet. He deserves to be spoken of only positively, for the football he offers,” he added.
