And he said, yeah.

And I wanted to go back to being that kid that enjoyed playing football in the last few weeks.

That hasn't been the case.

It's been a difficult season with the groin issue.

But then, as you say, that next line and a thousand things more and those things that are to do with the pressure, those things that are to do with the demands of professional football, that all of the exposure that you have to go through and that

You know, we should never forget.

Obviously, we can forget maybe when he turns 19, but he's an 18-year-old.

This is a guy that was in the Spain squad that won the European Championships at 16.

This is a guy that you said it then.

This is, what did you say, 60 years since a player this young has scored a hat-trick.

And yet it feels like it's been a long time coming because we've been watching him for so long because he's been exposed to this kind of pressure so young.

And I thought it was very, very telling that that comment post came about.

A happiness or a comfort or a sense of being himself

that just hasn't been there for a big chunk of this season.

And in a way, I imagine it's quite difficult to say that for him.

And I kind of applaud the fact that he brought it up.

And I think maybe it just gives us a little bit of a reminder as well, doesn't it, about how we deal with him, how we analyse him, how we kind of judge him.

And judging itself is a difficult word, isn't it?

But how we judge his performances and him as a young man who's still only 18 years old.

Yeah, and I think what happens as well, Dan, is that I think that scrutiny shifts and it changes in... How do I put this?
