Barcelona's German goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen said on Friday that his team-mate Lamine Yamal, Euro 2024 winner with Spain at the age of 17, should keep his "feet on the ground, because he has just started out" and wished him to fight for titles every year.
"He is a player who is just starting out. To win a major title in his life like the European Championship is something he will never forget, and I wish him many more titles. I wish him to have that hunger to compete for titles every year," Ter Stegen told the media at Barcelona's training camp in Annapolis, Maryland.
"He's at a spectacular level already, and I hope he gets even better. He has just started out and he's got a lot of years ahead of him," he added. Barcelona are in the United States for their pre-season tour and face Real Madrid in New Jersey on Saturday.
Ter Stegen commented positively on the arrival of German coach Hansi Flick. "He has a great way of working on a physical level, he wants to press high, he has a way of always following the race and he wants everyone to be attentive. He wants everyone to be at a physical level that allows us to play not only two games in a row, but also three or four," he said.
