“I am a plaything of nature,” said the Spanish youth Lamine Yamal (16). He is, and so much so that after the semi-final of the Euro with France (2:1), the whole football planet is a fan of him.
In his teenage years, you might have been getting your moped driver’s license or looking for a holiday job. He, the treasure of Barcelona, at the age of 16 years and 362 days, with his performance and a great shot at 1:1, robbed the opponents of illusions and fans and experts of sleep. He became the youngest scorer of a goal at a major tournament, trumped even the legend Pelé, and only hears superlatives.
Ambushed in an elevator
Let’s take the one from the coach »La Roja« for everyone. “We saw a touch of genius from a great player who looks older than he is with his attitude, maturity and professionalism. He has something in him that can make him one of the best footballers in history. They just have to keep their feet on the ground,” said De la Fuente. Of course, but the girls are already crazy about the young man Yamal, who earns 3.2 million crowns in Barcelona (he has a contract with an exit clause of 24.5 billion CZK until June 2026).
“A girl came up to me in the elevator. She asked me for a photo and said: Give me your phone number, I need it. I didn’t know what to say to her and I was glad when the elevator stopped and we got out.” the somewhat shy son of a father from Morocco and a mother from Equatorial Guinea described the experience. He will be seventeen on Saturday, on Sunday he will play for the trophy for the winner of the EC and he is not thinking about anything else. “I’ll give myself a present, I want to win the final,” Lamine Yamal stated.
