Robert Lewandowski urges Lamine Yamal to enjoy his youth while balancing life outside of football for future success. Yamal's recent rise in football includes a new contract with Barcelona until 2031. Despite facing public criticism for his birthday celebration, Lewandowski emphasizes the importance of mental resilience amidst media attention. He points out that social media can significantly affect a player's emotional state and career, thus maintaining mental strength is crucial for Yamal's longevity in professional football.
Lamine is so young, he can enjoy the life. He has to enjoy the life because everything, not only in football, but outside of it, is in front of him. Of course, that will be also a tough moment for him, how to handle it, all things around him. For sure, that will be not easy but he has to also enjoy everything.
In two, three, four years, it will be too much. The most important thing for him, probably he will have to answer himself, is how he handles this for the long term.
The part outside of football, the emotion that in one day on social media you are [up] here, and the next day you are on the ground, it's a huge challenge.
