Barcelona manager Hansi Flick says Lamine Yamal is “a genuis” but he still needs to work hard to stay at the highest level.
Yamal is still only 17 years of age but has already won La Liga and the Copa del Rey with Barcelona and the Euros with Spain.
The teenager may also pick up the Ballon d’Or later this year, and Flick says the club must take good care of their prized assset.
“Yes, he’s a genius. He’s only 17, and we have to help him. I hope he wants us to help him too, that we can take care of him, because he’s very young and everything seems so easy right now, but it isn’t,” he told the club’s media.
