"The second cutter prize is of great importance for Lamin. At the age of 18, becoming a "Golden Ball" finalist is already an incredible achievement. It is unprecedented to have two copies awards. I am convinced that Lamin will fight for the "golden ball" now. There was a lot of tension during the ceremony. We were heard from "Barsa's studies", and we were chanting "Lamin, Lamin". I am sure that this will deter him even more, "Laporta said.
"We had hopes, because the nominations were Rafinyan, Lamin and Pedrin. Eventually, Lamin and Dembele became finalists. I think the victory of the Champions League played an important role in Dembele's victory. However, the two Copa Awards are one recognition, which is unprecedented. I am convinced that Lamin will reach the "golden ball". Time will tell, but he is an exceptional talent and a player with great potential, "Mundo Deportivo quotes Laporta as saying.
