Guardiola urges Lamine Yamal to stay 'calm' despite success

Lamine Yamal is the player of the moment. The 17-year-old was one of the key players in the squad for Spain's Euro 2024 triumph due to his good performances and his charisma as a professional.
What surprised the football world is his young age and his maturity both on and off the pitch, which has put him in the spotlight. The right winger has also been on everyone's lips for an alleged break-up with his girlfriend.
As a result of his recent success and fame, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who has a lot of good experience as a Barcelona star, wanted to give him some advice on how to deal with what he is going through.
"Rodri always tells me wonderful things about Lamine Yamal. He is extraordinary. Lamine? If Xavi gave him his debut, it’s for a reason. But I’m sure he’ll have ups and downs, he should be calm because he has a lot of race ahead of him," Guardiola told reporters on Tuesday.
"La Masia never fails. This generation I don’t know what their parents have given them, but they go like planes. [Pau] Cubarsi, [Alejandro] Balde, Lamine… The base has always been them and signing great players from outside," he added.
