Lamine Yamal spoke about responsibility at Barcelona and the results expected by the fans

Lamine Yamal, a talented representative of the Barcelona club and the Spanish national team, shared his thoughts on his physical condition and the great responsibility he carries during the 2026 World Cup. Zamin.uz reported on this.

Currently considered one of the youngest stars in the football world, Yamal emphasized that playing under the legendary number ten at his club and becoming a primary driving force for the national team gives him additional motivation. According to a report by Goal.com, the footballer is well aware that the fans' expectations of him are extremely high.

According to Yamal, in modern football, special attention is always paid to attacking players who bring pleasure to the fans. He considers it natural for people to expect results from players who deliver the most exciting performances.

While acknowledging that teammates like Pedri and Rodri are highly skilled players, he noted that the pressure on him is slightly different. Wearing the number ten at Barcelona and playing actively on the wing places a great responsibility on him, but the young forward expressed his satisfaction with this situation.

Having started the tournament with a minor injury, Yamal was introduced to the field with caution during the group stage matches. However, ahead of the playoff matches, he announced that he is fully prepared.

The footballer currently feels much better and is capable of playing at a high pace for ninety minutes if the coach shows confidence in him. He noted that his physical condition is improving day by day and that he currently rates his capabilities highly.

Although the Spanish national team arrived at this prestigious competition as one of the main contenders, their play is interpreted differently by experts. In Yamal's opinion, in the current decisive stage, the final result and winning are much more important than beautiful play.

He stated that he would prefer to win in any way rather than displaying beautiful play many times with Barcelona only to suffer defeat. The young forward, who scored his first goal at the World Cup, said that these emotions are indescribable.

Defending the honor of his country and scoring in the world's most prestigious tournament will remain one of the happiest moments of his career. At the same time, Yamal also spoke about his composed character.

He said that he does not give in to emotions and might only shed tears if he suffers a serious injury or sees the sorrow of his loved ones. He surprised everyone by stating that he believes he could maintain his composure even if he were to win the World Cup.
