Lamin Yamal is 16 years old, it’s amazing how good he is, but it’s important to protect him
But, on the other hand, it is also important to protect him: he is 16 years old, and next season he will turn 17. His head should always be free, he should not feel any pressure; this will be the task of everyone in the club in the future, to get the best out of him.
