Ballon d’Or winner and Manchester City midfielder Rodri has recently shared his belief in the immense potential of Barcelona’s young talent Lamine Yamal.
Rodri has expressed that he deliberately put pressure on the 17-year-old during the Ballon d’Or ceremony to help him unlock his true capabilities.
His comments, made during an interview with AS, were not only a compliment to Yamal’s abilities but also a clear indication of his faith in the young player’s future.
Rodri has always praised Yamal
It should be noted that Rodri’s endorsement of Yamal was made just after he was crowned with this prestigious honor.
This made his words about Yamal even more significant, as they came from a player who had reached the pinnacle of success in the sport. In his comments, Rodri confidently predicted that Yamal could one day win the Ballon d’Or himself.
Although he was careful not to exaggerate, he stressed that Yamal was “special” and that he recognized him from the first moment he saw him.
The experienced midfielder also reminded everyone not to put too much pressure on the teenager, urging him to continue developing at his own pace.
Rodri went on to stress that Yamal’s path in football will not be easy and that the young Barcelona star must continue to move forward and remain humble.
He recognized the importance of standing his ground despite the praise and attention he was receiving.

Meanwhile, Rodri recently made it clear that his comments about Yamal were not mere flattery. During an interview with AS, he admitted to adding a bit of pressure on the young player, but in a way that he believes will ultimately help Yamal grow.
“Yes, I put pressure on him a little (laughs). For me, I think he has everything he needs to win it.” said.
Rodri expressed confidence in the teenager’s ability to achieve greatness, knowing that the right attitude and perseverance will lead him to fulfill his dreams.
“I don’t know when he will win it, now or later, but I am convinced that he has the potential to win it.” he added.
