"I think Lamine Yamal is in the most difficult year of his career, because it's the year of confirmation. He has to confirm everything he did last year, which is very difficult because he shone at a very high level, and it's a year of profound changes, socially, economically, in terms of... A new life, really,"
"The contracts, the publicity... Dealing in some way with a lot of circumstances and things that surround him, events, here, this, that, and so on."
"Lamine Yamal is in a year of absolute change, and for me, at that age, it's the most difficult year... the most difficult."
Lamine Yamal is entering a pivotal year that demands confirmation of his breakthrough performances from last season. He must reinforce previous high-level displays while adjusting to profound social and economic changes that accompany sudden fame. These changes include new contracts, increased publicity, events, and other surrounding circumstances that can act as distractions. Age 18 is especially delicate because emotional development continues while public status accelerates. Many elite players face difficulties during this phase when everything becomes different and external pressures intensify. Successful navigation will require focus, maturity, and support to sustain on-field progress.
