In his opinion, this is the key to living a quiet life away from media attention<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m with my friends and I try to live my life. I try not to focus only on football, I&#8217;m always focused on the game, I&#8217;m not watching videos of the full-backs I&#8217;m playing against, it&#8217;s none of that,&#8221; says the Barcelona attacker.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"ue-c-article__blockquote\">\n<p>I try not to watch videos of the full-backs I play against, so that I don&#8217;t just focus on the football, so I don&#8217;t concentrate on the game all the time.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__blockquote-author\">Lamine Yamal, Jugador del Barcelona<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>His wish is to live as normal a life as possible, keeping in mind that he will never be the same as a normal person. \u201cI try to enjoy myself all day and give my best when I\u2019m on the pitch, but when I\u2019m off the pitch I try to separate myself from football as much as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an interview, the player was asked what he would do if he became invisible for a day, and he answered: &#8220;First we go to breakfast on the terrace. In the afternoon we play a soccer match in a park, for example in the Pori area of \u200b\u200bRoca Fonda. Then we go for a bike ride or a scooter ride with friends.
