Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski has offered crucial advice to teenage sensation and teammate Lamine Yamal.
He recently revealed that the youngster is working hard to be a better footballer.
Speaking during an interview with the press, Lewandowski shared that Yamal knows he has to be very careful with what is being said about him online.
According to him, it is common knowledge that social media has a way of exalting you today and criticizing you tomorrow, so Lamine has a lot of work to do to ensure he avoids anything that’ll derail his promising career.
“He’s working hard. But the part outside of football, the emotion that in one day on social media you are [up] here, and the next day you are on the ground,” he said.
Lewandowski further noted that it is left to the teenager to stay out of controversies and focus on fulfilling his amazing potential on the pitch.
The Poland international concluded by saying that being a global sensation at such a young age is a massive pressure to be under.
“This means that also for your body, for your mind, for your head, it’s a huge pressure…He probably has to find the answer for this in the future,” he added.
