Spain Must Take Good Care Of Yamal – Luis de la Fuente

Spain manager, Luis de la Fuente has come out to compare Barcelona forward, Lamine Yamal to Julius Caesar. This is coming after his dazzling display against France, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he saw a touch of genius from a youngster who must be taken care of by Spain, and he believes Yamal will have to keep his feet on the ground to develop the right way.

Luis added that just like the legendary Julio Cesar was mortal for Brazil, Lamine must be treated as one too.

His words, “We saw a touch of genius from a footballer who we all need to take care of. We have to help him by keeping his feet on the ground and developing him in the best way. That’s about calm and tranquillity. In Ancient Rome, when they talked about Caesar they would say: ‘Remember he’s mortal!’ Fundamentally I celebrate that he’s on our team, he’s Spanish, and we hope we can enjoy him for years to come.”

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona, commonly referred to as Barcelona and colloquially known as Barça, 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.

There is often a fierce rivalry between the two strongest teams in a national league, and this is particularly the case in La Liga, where the game between Barcelona and Real Madrid is known as “The Classic” (El Clásico).

From the start of national competitions the clubs were seen as representatives of two rival regions in Spain: Catalonia and Castile, as well as of the two cities. The rivalry reflects what many regard as the political and cultural tensions felt between Catalans and the Castilians, seen by one author as a re-enactment of the Spanish Civil War. Over the years, the head-to-head record between the two clubs is 102 victories for Madrid, 100 victories for Barcelona, and 52 draws.
