"The good thing about him is that he ignores criticism and focuses on being himself. If they tell him not to do something, he will probably do it anyway just to get more criticism. It doesn't affect him. People will try to destabilise him because that's one way they can stop him. He's right not to listen to criticism because he's performing well in soccer, so he can do whatever he wants outside of it."
"Training with him was incredible. On days when he wanted to win a short game or some finishing drills, there was nothing you could do. You could only sit and watch. If he wanted to go one-on-one, he would do it and score. He's different from the rest,"
Lamine Yamal remains unfazed by external criticism and concentrates on his performances while awaiting medical clearance for Barcelona's match against Girona. Intense attention accompanies his rapid rise, yet criticism fails to destabilise him and can even provoke him to double down on his style. Training displays revealed exceptional finishing, one-on-one ability, and a competitive drive in small-sided games. Coaching support and encouragement have been present despite limited opportunities. Confidence, talent, and a focus on being himself underpin continued on-field success and resilience under scrutiny.
