Yamal considered the football pitch is the one place where he feels completely at home, removing the fear of failure that plagues many of his peers. “I’d be nervous if I was doing something I didn’t know how to do. If I had a regular job, for instance – I’ve never had one, so I’d probably be worried about messing it up. But football is what I’ve always done; it’s what I know. So I try to enjoy it. When I see my parents in the stands, knowing they’re proud of me, it takes the pressure off. It’s a good feeling,” Yamal told FIFA.
