Interview with Lamine Yamal

Because we've been waiting for him, Lamine Yamal is

with us.

Oh.

Yay.

So good to see you.

Lamine-

Yes

... we have been waiting. We're working overtime just to be able to

speak to

you.

How are you?

Hello. What's up?

Hey, English, huh?

Hey.

En, en ingles. Oh, la, la.

What's up?

How, how do you feel about speaking to us in

English?

Or does it have to be in Spanish?

No, ahora en español ya, porque entiendo pero no puedo contestar

más.

Okay, so he understands a lot but he, he doesn't, he can't, he can't answer,

which

I understand. That happens a lot. Go ahead.

Thierry's gonna ask you a few questions.

Uh, primero-

I'll translate

... primero, Lamine, uh, uh, uh, Lamine, uh, en, uh, enhorabuena

otra vez. Lo que estás haciendo es-

Congratulations again for what you're doing

... es increíble. No sé,

no sé qué decir más. Pero, but, me, me puedes explicar lo de la

finta de la rabona y también lo que hiciste antes

para darte espacio, uh, para tener el balón e ir mano a mano

con el defensor, pero lo de la rabona, ¿por, por qué hiciste eso?

The rabona, the move that Thierry explained earlier on,

on the screen, can you

explain what, what you d-

Bueno-

Sorry, go ahead

...

eh, eh, últimamente veía mucho que los defensas

siempre que llego a línea de fondo

se tiraban al suelo. Y, y pues veía la oportunidad,

veía que me podía

salir, es más bonito, eh, y me ha salido efectivo, entonces eh, muy

contento. Y siempre intento utilizar las fintas para

coger espacio.

Tú lo sabes muy bien, que los defensas siempre intentan

acercarse a ti y todo lo

que sean fintas para coger espacio, pues nos dan la vida.

Mm.

That was a complicated answer for me. You go ahead.

That was very-

Oh, you want me to an-

Yes. Yes, you, you translate that one.

Well, he said, uh, he realized in the game that, uh, the,

the players were always

diving when the ball was going wide.

And so, you know, he, he tried it because he,

he thinks it's a beautiful move and

it was going to work. And then the, the first move, it, that's,

that's what you do

to create, to create space. He said, "I, I, I would know that, uh, uh,

myself because I used to play, uh, uh, up front." Mira,

um, y- y-

We're being told that Lamine has to go

... yo, yo te, yo que- te quería pedir, ¿tú piensas que el triplete es posible?

Siempre, somos el Barca.

Hey.

Para mí el mejor equipo del mundo.

Woo.

So Thierry asked him, "Do you think the treble is possible?"

And Lamine said,

"Always. We're Barcelona. We're the best team in the world."

Before, before-

Very, very quickly, Lamine

... I'll go. Before he goes, tell him I'm gonna see him next week.

I'm coming to the game.

Yeah.

Oh, m- Micah dice que te va a ver la semana que

viene, que va a venir al partido.

So make sure you come and see me.

Por favor, ven a visitarlo.

¿A dónde vamos?

Ven a verlo en París.

A Madrid.

El clásico. El clásico, sí.

Ye-

No, no, no, no, no, no

... no.

Ah, París.

En la Champions. En la Champions te va a decir.

The Champions League, yes.

Ah, but it's Barcelona, uh, yeah.

Ah, en París.

Yeah, Paris.

En París.

I'll see you next week, Paris.

Yes.

Okay. See you, my friend.

See you.

Gracias, gracias, gracias.

Thank you, Lamine.

Suerte.

Bye.

I love the mustache. Oh, god, he's gone.

Well, I'm glad we didn't wait till 11:30.

That, that was, that was quick.

Just like the way you dribble past people.

Oh.
