00:00 For the neighbours of Rocafonda he is an idol, him and his whole family.

00:04 The postal code of the neighbourhood is 08304 and when the AMIN does 304 we feel represented.

00:13 Rocafonda is a neighbourhood of Mataró, a big city of textile in Catalonia.

00:38 Rocafonda is a deep stone.

00:43 We knew that AMIN was going to go far, because we saw him playing since he was a child.

00:52 I played with the 16 year old boys and they were like... they were like a football class.

01:00 The decision of AMIN Yamal is almost always correct and good.

01:15 And many times it is the best, with 16 years.

01:18 Do you remember when Messi was 16 years old? Or Maradona?

01:41 And now, to question that they should not have played with 16 or 17 years old, it would seem like a sacrilege.

01:48 Well, football has these things. With time, we will appreciate it.

02:07 He is not a player like others, he is not a special talent, just because he has shown his qualities at an early age.

02:15 So I think we should take care of him, because he is still 16 years old.

02:19 And we still have to show and see the quality he has, because what we have seen is nothing.

02:35 I think that AMIN, with his age, still has a lot to give and a lot to teach.

02:42 But everything from AMIN, because I know he is going to go much further and he is going to give for much more.

02:45 A footballer to mark an era.

02:58 A legend! 16 years, 87 days! AMIN! AMIN! AMIN! AMIN! YAMAL!
