The Secret Behind Lamine Yamal Revealed! Deco’s Striking Remarks About the Young Star

Barcelona’s Sporting Director Deco couldn’t stop praising the young talent, Lamine Yamal. Yamal received immense praise throughout last season, and Deco raised the bar even higher by claiming that the 17-year-old player could play in some of the best Barcelona teams in history. Yamal played a crucial role in Spain’s Euro 2024 victory, crowning his special year with a major trophy.

Lamine Yamal carried his excellent form from the summer into the new season, contributing five goals in four La Liga matches for Barcelona. While there is already a sense that Blaugrana is reliant on the young player, Deco believes that the Spanish giant does not feel any such pressure. The former Barcelona and Chelsea midfielder thinks that what sets Yamal apart from others is his mental resilience.

Speaking about Yamal, Deco said: “Lamine Yamal is not just technically talented; he is also mentally very strong. That’s why he is so good. What sets him apart from others is this. He doesn’t feel the weight of representing Barça and the national team on big stages. As a player capable of playing in even the best Barça teams in history, he never fails to grab attention.”
