Lamine Yamal He said ESPN that he feels like “plays” for evolutionary football (sic) “because the teenager focuses on height Barcelona This season.
A seventeen -year -old man scored 13 goals and this year gave 19 assists to help keep Barça alive in three competitions that got into the final section of the campaign.
Barça leads LALIGA by four points with eight games, face Real Madrid in Copa del rey Final 26th April and Welcome Borussia Dortmund At the Olympic stadium on Wednesday in the first stage of their quarterfinals of the Champions League.
“I’m one of those people who always trust their team,” Yamal said as he asked if Treble was premature. “Since the beginning of the season I have always focused on the maximum.
“So, if we can win a height at the beginning of the season, it’s a goal now. It’s nothing else now. It’s not because of excessive trust or something like that, it’s because you have to believe in yourself.
“If you say that another team will win, I do not know why you go to the playground so you can play, so we can win the height. We are Barça. We have already achieved it (in 2009 and 2015) – hopefully we can do it again.”
Now it is two years since Yamal debuted for Barça as a 15 -year -old. Since then he has become the youngest player who has ever found the back of the network in Lalize and the Champions League rounds, Knockout Rouns, SpainThe youngest debutant and scorer of the goal and the European Champion with his country last summer.
It compares its rapid rise to playing video games and says that the pressure of involvement in some of the biggest football matches did not get rid of it.
“It’s like a dream,” he added. “I still think so. If we reach the Champions League final, Copa del Rey, Final (Clásico) this month, World Championship (next year with Spain) … Everything is like a dream.”
“It’s like I played a dog. It’s incredible. When you come home and say I played in the finals of the euro …” It’s incredible.
“I don’t (notice pressure). I’m just trying to have fun. I don’t think too much about things. I don’t think too much to do what I’m doing, what I’m doing tomorrow, what game I play if it’s more important (than others).
“Obviously I know I play for Barça. I know it’s importance, but I don’t think about pressure. I play, I enjoy … and that’s all.”
Remarkable was how fast Yamal became a key player for both the club and the country.
In all competitions this season he played 3,448 minutes for Barça – only Jules Koundé, Pedri and Rap They played more – and began the last 21 matches for the Catalan club.
This exhibition of so many football at such a young age has led to him more, but Yamal says he feels fit until the last two months of the season.
“(I feel) very good,” he said. “I think one thing I learned this year is how to follow. Are people who say,” Why don’t you move for 10 minutes? “But at the end of the day there are times when you don’t have to run.
“You need to know how to follow the game during the game, during the training, what you have to do … So I think that’s something I learned. And to be honest, I do really well.”
Yamal’s contract expires in 2026, but has previously confirmed that it will sign a new long -term agreement ESPN explains that they do so When he reaches him 18 years later this year.
He hopes it will be just the beginning of a long career with Barça.
“That’s a difficult question,” he said as he asked where he saw himself in 10 years. “(I will) 27 (year old) … I think it’s like now, going between the training game and my house and back on the training ground.”
