An ocean of natural talent.
Juniors benefit from learning from young Neymar
Yamal says his idol as a child was not Messi, but Neymar. The former Barcelona winger ranks above Lionel in the Spaniard’s adoration rankings. Messi is more powerful at first glance, Lamin points out, but he loved the left winger’s game. I saw Neymar for the first time at Santos when Lamin was five years old. The Brazilian played with ease, using many tricks. At Barcelona, the winger was not placed within strict limits. Lamine remembers seeing Neymar live for the first time at Camp Nou when he was 7 years old. I realized I wanted to be in his place.
When we talk strictly about early career football, Neymar is an excellent role model for the new generation. Lightness, speed, sharpness, cruelty – Santos Junior scored 200 goals in 225 matches. He was not surrounded by Iniesta, Xavi, Suarez and Messi. The Brazilian was the locomotive of Santos, who without him were relegated to the lower league. Neymar has been compared to Pelé. This version of the winger, who worked across the entire attacking front, is reminiscent of Yamal. It’s clear why Lamin singles out his correspondence professor and his childhood idol.
You can learn to play beautiful football from Neymar, but his career is an example of what not to do. Yamal was not hungry for 250 million euros in PSG. Even if in Paris, they would give him a crazy salary and be adored like Mbappé. Lamine insists he wants to stay at Barcelona. But the insane debts accumulated under the reign of the strange president Bartomeu are pushing President Laporta’s club to the brink of collapse. The Catalans may have to consider selling their top talents to avoid filing for bankruptcy.
At 17, Yamal tries not to bother with things he doesn’t understand. His task is to help Barcelona survive on the pitch. Against Athletic, Pedri quickly completed a pass to Balde, then Alejandro set up Gavi to score his first goal since his injury. The students of the Catalan club scored an important goal against the European champion Simon. The second objective is also the responsibility of La Masia graduates. Yamal sat on the ground, but when he saw Gavi with the ball, he immediately jumped up and finished off the dangerous Athletic.
It’s time for Yamal to worry about his own composure
Messi played worse than Yamal at the age of 17. We understand that these lines are being read by people who, in 2004, were too young for their parents to allow them to watch La Liga and Champions League matches in the evening. According to eyewitnesses, right midfielder Messi did not cut his opponents to cabbage at the age of 17. At this age, Lionel was just beginning to learn the basics of the game. He played 7 matches for Barcelona throughout the Primera season, scoring just one goal. Even next season, when he plays more often, Messi could retire from the game.
Yamal is not always in the spotlight either. He is relieved by the activity of Kunde on the right flank. Jules in the best Barcelona games in Dani Alves mode. Once again, we can learn from the legend’s footballing methods, but we cannot repeat the Brazilian’s mistakes off the field. Alves is in prison for sexual assault. Kunde is not that scandalous. Yamal must thank his partner for his help. Messi developed with Alves at his back, and before that, Lionel was protected by less talented right-backs. Yamal was lucky.
Messi thanks Eto’o and Ronaldinho. Yamal has Lewandowski and Raphinha. As a result, Guardiola will release the Cameroonian and Brazilian, since Dino and Deco often poured alcohol on each other, Josep was afraid that they would take Messi to a nightclub and destroy the talent’s career. Flick has nothing to worry about. Raphinha doesn’t drink, and neither does Lewandowski. In the worst case, the Pole will learn to dance in Yamal. And without joking about Robert, who considers himself a good dancer, but is not, then Lamin was created with excellent conditions for development.
After all of Lionel’s victories, the importance of the team and the coaches was often emphasized. Messi understood this argument when PSG did not win the Champions League. Ronaldo appreciated his teammates when he ended up at Juventus with a similar end result in Europe. Yamal makes Barcelona better, but Pedri, Gavi and Olmo have helped him become the best young talent in the world. Lamine is too good and it is dangerous for his career. Messi calmly reached heights and set himself at an insane level for many seasons.
Yamal will have to survive the falls that will inevitably occur with such loads on a 17 year old. The main thing is not to fall into a trench with injuries, like the Brazilian Ronaldo. Messi was lucky in this regard, although Lionel didn’t try hard in training and didn’t stick to his diet. It is important for Yamal to sleep long and eat well. Communicate with girls who are interested in the boy with braces himself, and not in his millions and crazy fame. Lamin grew up before the eyes of the football world. Sometimes it will be important to slow down in order to stretch your peak form over the years.
The Spaniard has football goals for the new year
It is important for Barcelona to perform well in the Champions League playoffs. They now occupy second place in the general ranking after Liverpool. They lost to Monaco, but won five times. They crushed Bayern and scored 21 goals. Even more than Borussia, who scored 7 goals against Celtic. But there are problems in the Spanish Championship. After a series of failures, where sometimes the successful actions of the injured Yamal were not enough, Flick allowed the return of Real and Atlético. The fight will be difficult, but Lamin likes a challenge. The giants have made it through Euro 2024.
We don’t see any nervousness in Yamal. It seems that Wirtz from Bayer and the German national team does not feel the pressure from the stands and is not influenced by the provocations of the defenders. Lamina will be encountered more harshly, you will have to dodge and develop your technique. A natural talent of incredible magnitude. This is why Yamal executes complex tricks, like assists, so easily with the outside of his foot. The Spaniard with African and Arab blood – here similar to the original Mbappé – could face Kylian’s formidable team in the Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday.
If Real beats Mallorca in the evening, it will be the Clasico. Last time Barcelona won 0:4 and Yamal scored one of the goals. But the winger has had bad matches, like against Las Palmas and Leganes. Barcelona lost both times. Football goal for 2025: attack the best young player called increased productivity. Simple assists are no longer enough for him. Healthy football egoism, Yamal has average results so far. Lamin’s development attracts attention, it is interesting to watch the stars light up.
