Athletic Bilbao player Nico Williams has expressed his opinion on the non-football life of Barcelona young talent Lamin Yamal. The 18-year-old is believed to be at risk of going astray due to the sudden fame that has showered him. However, people who know the blue-garnet prodigy personally take it easy.

“Everyone lives the way they want. I think the most important thing is to remain professional and always give 100% when needed. We, footballers, also need to distract ourselves from work and enjoy life, just like everyone else.

I don’t see any problem with it, as long as there is dedication and respect,” Williams was quoted as saying by the publication The Touchline.

In the current season, Lamine Yamal played 13 matches for Barcelona, ​​in which he scored six goals and made eight assists.

Earlier, Laporta responded to claims about Yamal.
