The child prodigy of Barcelona and national Spain Lamin Yamal shares his recipe for dealing with the crazy pressure that accompanies his career. In an interview with ESPN, the young winger believes that the key to his stability is a clear distinction between professional and special life.

Yamal, who has already broken all possible records (as a junior from Grave) with the Catalans and has become a key figure in the national team, says: beyond the boundaries of the field, you are encouraged not to think about the game. Instead of spending years watching your super nicks' videos, you'll find simple joy.

“I love what an 18-year-old boy is: hanging out with friends, keeping an eye on my brother, playing PlayStation. I try not to focus exclusively on football, not to constantly concentrate on matches or videos about the people who rob me.. I try to get some sleep every day, and when I go out onto the field, I give it all up. “As soon as I leave the stadium, I “connect” to football as much as possible,” Lamin said..

Beyond serious topics, Yamal has come to light and about its burials. Vin is looking forward to the World Cup 2026, where Spain will play in a group with Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay. The football player admitted that he had never been to Mexico, but he wanted to try the right tacos.

Zirka also guessed childhood, if instead of expensive consoles, friends played with Pokemon cards: “At school we played Pokemon cards. Dekhto grav on Nintendo, but we have a lot of money in the card, because if I was small, we couldn’t afford a console,” the winger said.

And from the kitchen, Yamal’s talent has not yet emerged. The football player is happy to know that his culinary specialties involve preparing French fry nuggets and cooking - but it’s definitely not his.
