"Lamine is an unbelievable player. But he's only 18. And, of course, sometimes he's angry when I change him or maybe when he dribbles past four, five players and then shoots, and he misses. Sometimes it's for him also frustrating he didn't score this goal."
"I will always support him. He is a fantastic player, on the right way, and we are helping him to develop in the right space. It's not good to make this noise around everything he's doing."
"I know everyone is looking to him because he's a fantastic player. But he's only 18. Every one of us makes mistakes. I said [to him] you can [try things], no problem, I will always protect you."
"On the pitch, he has to show everyone how good he is; that he will be one of the best, maybe the best player of the future."
