Rodri told reporters when asked about his interactions with Yamal and efforts to keep the hottest of prospects on the right track: “I didn’t want to be caught on camera. It’s sort of a reflection of the fact that they have to put their tremendous talent at the service of the team and football. We’ve seen many such cases get lost along the way. Lamine is an immense talent and an exceptional case. I see him happy and doing things well.”
