Barcelona attacker Ferran Torres says teenage teammate Lamine Yamal must be protected.
At 16, Yamal is already a first-choice for coach Xavi.
Torres told AS: “I think that now Lamine is enjoying the beautiful part of football. Obviously you are warned that not everything is beautiful in football nor will it always be beautiful. But from there he must take it naturally.
“He is a normal kid, often shy, but he is gaining confidence with us and opening up. Among the young people we form groups and we joke around, which in the end is important. God willing, we have many years left together.”
“It is an unusual case. He must be protected. Barça has a lot of media coverage, there is no patience, at first everything is forgiven, but there comes a point where it doesn’t matter what score you score, if you do something wrong, that’s what they’re going to focus on.”
