Yamal Must Decide Who He Wants To Be Outside Football – Lewandowski

Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski has offered crucial advice to teenage sensation and teammate Lamine Yamal. He recently revealed that the youngster is working hard to be a better footballer.

Speaking during an interview with the press, Lewandowski shared that Yamal knows he has to be very careful with what is being said about him online.

According to him, it is common knowledge that social media has a way of exalting you today and criticizing you tomorrow, so Lamine has a lot of work to do to ensure he avoids anything that’ll derail his promising career.

“He’s working hard. But the part outside of football, the emotion that in one day on social media you are [up] here, and the next day you are on the ground,” he said.

Lewandowski further noted that it is left to the teenager to stay out of controversies and focus on fulfilling his amazing potential on the pitch.

The Poland international concluded by saying that being a global sensation at such a young age is a massive pressure to be under.

“This means that also for your body, for your mind, for your head, it’s a huge pressure…He probably has to find the answer for this in the future,” he added.

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.

Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.

The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.

In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
