I'm not sure that 18yo kid is the one who is crying here.
But yeah it's weird that we have 18yo kid taking penalties for us. Maybe it works in the long run if Lamine learns early on into his career how to deal with pressure in penalties when the stakes are high. But it's crazy amount of extra pressure for him when he is already having to deal with tons of extra pressure from the media and fans while he is barely an adult. Hopefully he can handle it.
And no, I highly doubt Lamine is forcing our veteran players to give him the ball so he can pad his stats. Seems like our veterans just aren't confident with themselves and aren't willing to take the necessary role they should so they give it to the one guy who isn't scared to take a role and deliver.
Bad game from him sure like from everyone in our squad barring the backline and Joan. But just like so many times before you already know he will deliver soon big time when it's needed. We have been here before where he plays below his level for some games and then has few brilliant games where he reminds us why he is so highly touted.
