00:04Like many others, he had a very different technical ability.
00:11What you never know is how this player will behave in a completely different scenario.
00:17Playing with the cadets or the juveniles is one thing,
00:20but when you put them in the first team, it's complex.
00:23Some take it very easy, others are more difficult, others are slower, others are a process.
00:29But Lamin, more than his individual ability,
00:33his mental ability is completely different from what we are used to seeing.
00:37He is a player who is completely inherent to pressure,
00:42but who manages to have this mental ability
00:47of not feeling the weight of being a young player with everything he has been through in recent years.
00:56This is not an easy thing to measure, because there are no parameters.
01:00There are psychologists, there is mental analysis, a number of things,
