Yamal Should Not Get Carried Away By His Success – Luis de la Fuente

Spain manager, Luis de la Fuente has come out to say that Lamine Yamal has been touched by the magic wand of God. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, however, the youngster must not get carried away by his success because that is a very fast way to fall by the wayside.

He added that Yamal should never make the mistake of wanting to walk faster than he has to on his football journey.

His words, “It is a common characteristic [maturity] of this type of player. When you see that he has that touch, I say that he is touched by that magic wand of God, that he is different. These are players who, at 17 years old, have nothing to do with a boy of his age. They are much more mature, with a very important degree of responsibility, who interpret and accept any proposal and situation that you propose to them because they are brilliant. But I have also seen these footballers who have fallen by the wayside. Don’t make the mistake of wanting to walk faster than you have to, you can spoil it. You have to control that they play football very well and the thousand other details that are truly important.”

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.
