Spain coach sends warning to Lamine Yamal

Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente has sent a warning to rising star Lamine Yamal.

The 17-year-old has already established himself as an important player for both Spain and FC Barcelona in the last few months.

Yamal has also been given the honour of wearing the number ten jersey for the national side.

While the winger has enjoyed a meteoric rise, de La Fuente has warned the player not to get ahead of himself.

 "It is a common characteristic [maturity] of this type of player. When you see that he has that touch, I say that he is touched by that magic wand of God, that he is different.

"These are players who, at 17 years old, have nothing to do with a boy of his age.

"They are much more mature, with a very important degree of responsibility, who interpret and accept any proposal and situation that you propose to them because they are brilliant.

"But I have also seen these footballers who have fallen by the wayside.

"Don't make the mistake of wanting to walk faster than you have to, you can spoil it. You have to control that they play football very well and the thousand other details that are truly important."
