Lamine Yamal is enjoying a great moment of form at Barcelona. And also off the pitch, where he admits to disconnecting as much as possible to live the life of a young man who is only 18 years old. An age that does not conflict with a maturity that he demonstrates despite his meteoric rise to be the center of attention "I do what any 18-year-old does: hang out with his friends, take care of his brother, play PlayStation, go for a walk... things like that," the player said in an interview with ESPN. In his opinion, this is key to living a quiet life away from all the media attention "I try to be with my friends and live my life. I try not to just focus on football, not to be all the time concentrating on the game, or watching videos of the full-back I'm going to face, none of that," says the Barcelona attacker I try not to focus only on football, not to be all the time concentrating on the game, nor to watch videos of the full-back I'm going to face Lamine Yamal, jugador del Barcelona His desire is to have as normal a life as possible, bearing in mind that it will never be like that of an ordinary person: "I try to enjoy the whole day and when I'm on the pitch to give my best, but when I leave the pitch I want to disconnect as much as possible from football" In the interview, he is asked what he would do if he were invisible for a day and the player is clear: "First I would go to have breakfast on a terrace. In the afternoon I would play a soccer game in some park, for example, in the poly of Rocafonda. And then I would go for a bike ride or with the scooters with my friends. Normal things". He also recalls moments from his childhood, not so long ago, when he did not have the privileges he now enjoys as a professional footballer. "When I was little we didn't have the possibility to buy the PlayStation or the Nintendo. So we played with my friends in the yard with Pokemon cards, which were worth one euro," Lamine confessed.

It's just not his thing, as he himself admits: "The truth is that I gave it up because it wasn't my thing. I was very bad, very bad. I'll make you some nuggets with potatoes, at most". In addition to his successes with Barcelona, Lamine does not hide his other great objective for this year: "There is still a long way to go for the World Cup, but the dream is that of all Spaniards. We want to win and give our best for the country".
