Euphoric. Happy. Lamine Yamal Nasraoui’s paternal family is currently in Larache, a port city in the northwest of Morocco bathed by the Atlantic. Larache is 86 km away from Tangier, the city they will travel to today to catch a flight to Germany. There will be 20 people from the footballer’s circle in Berlin. Relatives and friends like Juan Carlos, the owner of El Cordobés bar in Rocafonda. “What Lamine is doing has us impressed. He is an example of integration and it makes us happy that they are so pleased with him in Spain,” says Abdul, the footballer’s uncle who speaks to La Vanguardia while enjoying the warm temperatures in Larache. “I also went to Germany for the semifinals. It’s much colder there,” he points out.
