Thierry Henry has issued a cautionary warning to Lamine Yamal, using the example of former Barcelona prodigy Bojan Krkic, who struggled with external pressures early in his career.
Yamal, who made waves at just 15 years old, has been compared to Lionel Messi due to his exceptional talent.
However, Henry, reflecting on Bojan's experience, emphasized the challenge young players face when thrust into the spotlight.
Henry noted that Bojan, who once struggled with anxiety and the rapid rise to fame, serves as a reminder of the pressures that can overwhelm young talents.
He highlighted that while Yamal's success is impressive, it is crucial to manage the expectations placed on him. At just 17, Yamal has much to learn and grow, and it's important that the pressure doesn't lead to burnout.
