Pattino talks about Daoman: It is extraordinary to play in the first team at the age of 15, and I suggest not to put too much pressure on him

Former Arsenal youth training teenager Charlie Patino recently accepted the interview with The Athletic and talked about topics such as Arsenal's career and Gunners' talented teenager Dauman.

Patino transferred to La Coruña last year, and despite being in a foreign country, the 21-year-old Patino remains in touch with his former Arsenal friends. He closely monitors the growth of his juniors in the youth training camp Skelly and Envanelli, and also knows the talents of 15-year-old star Doman. Based on his own experience, he particularly emphasized that young players need time to settle down.

Pattino told TA: "It is extraordinary to play in the first team at the age of 15, and there are very few people who can do it at this age. In my experience, it should not put too much pressure on the child, so that he can learn from training first. Send him to the court when he needs it, and give him room to adapt and accumulate experience. When I started training with the first team at the age of 17, I learned from locker room leaders such as Zachar and David Luis." During the preseason visit to the UK, Pattino talked about the characteristics of Spanish football. He pointed out: "It pays more attention to technology, ball control and tactics, while the Premier League Championship emphasizes physical confrontation. In Blackpool and Swansea, opponents often use high-pressure and man-to-man tactics."

When I bid farewell to Arsenal last year, Pattino posted a photo of him sitting on a cannon sculpture outside the Emirates Stadium in his childhood thanks. He accepted calmly about leaving the team: "The timing issue. At that time, the competition between the same position was fierce, and Arteta was striving to compete for the championship. Everything had a cause and effect."

The biggest goal of the new season was undoubtedly to help Laco return to La Liga. Although he only ranked 15th last season, the arrival of new coach Antonio Hidalgo brings hope. Patino imagined the grand scene of upgrading: "The celebration of the Spanish Second Division to La Liga is definitely more spectacular than the Spanish Second Division. Considering Laco's glorious history, if it can be upgraded, it will be of great significance to the club and my family."
