I don't think Lamine had his best game today, but he decided it.
When he has space, he can create chances and he practices these kind of plays that can win you a game.
I mean, it was beautiful the way he finished.
And it's not like a one-off.
You see that kind of goal from him frequently.
As someone who obviously played at the top level, I look at him and I think,
How does it come so naturally?
Incredible natural talent that you're born with.
It just shows you can't teach that sort of thing.
It's almost intuitive in the way he does things.
But it's like when I watch someone like Messi, for example, who takes it even further.
You think...
How can he know how to move there and that, particularly when he's so young and inexperienced?
But it's pure, pure natural talent.
I mean, it's extraordinary.
Do you know why?
Because he is a little kid.
He's basically a little kid.
I mean, I really like him.
I think he gives off a really good energy.
