Milan, 1 July (LaPresse) – ‘I’ll give my all; I want to win and I’ll do everything I can to make it happen’. This was stated by Spain’s star player Lamine Yamal during an interview with El Larguero on Cadena SER, where he spoke about his feelings regarding the national team and how ready they are to reach the top. Asked about the pressure he feels as the team’s star player, despite being only 18 years old, Yamal said: “I never put pressure on myself. There are people who have suffered more.” The Barcelona player then cited his parents’ experience as an example: “My mum had me when she was 16, and that’s real pressure. My dad had to work hard, taking on odd jobs on the street to put food on the table. That’s real pressure. All I have to do is play and make the Spanish people happy.” Yamal did, however, admit that he’d had to learn to live with it and always try to stop and take photos with people. “On the first day I always stop, but I often end up being with the same people all the time. But hey, you’ve got to know how to handle it. You mustn’t get frustrated; I know who I am and I know it’s normal,” he said.
