Lamine Yamal names DOGS as his toughest opponents: ‘Hardest thing you can do’

Lamine Yamal has already played against football’s best defenders such as William Saliba or Antonio Rudiger. But it’s not them who are the toughest opponents for the Barcelona starlet.

“I’m a guy who doesn’t like being at a higher level, like what happened to me in youth categories, because I don’t like to relax or take it easy,” the 17-year-old said, as quoted by BeIN Sports.

“I always prefer it to be more difficult. I’d rather not play than play everything and have it be too easy.

“I always played with my dogs because my father said they wouldn’t bite, so I’d run with them. Playing against a dog is the hardest thing you can do.”
