It needs to be a healthy obsession. I like it that there's a fire in him to score goals, just like most of the top scorers in the world. You don't become top scorer without hunger.

He has a clear goal which is to be the best player in the world, for that he understands goals are very important. Some people in here have been saying his future is more that of a playmaker than goalscorer, I think he disagrees.

Neymar was at 30 G/A his first full season with us on 41 Appearances. Yamal has 21 in 27. Chances are He's going to eclipse that despite being only 17 while neymar was 21. He's on track to have the best full debut season in a barca shirt since Ronaldo and Ronaldo was 20.

I think his visible frustration comes from the fact that he knows that if he's given these opportunities to score (especially after assisting and helping others score so much) he can be a serious Balon D'or candidate.

I think his attitude is good especially given that any time he flailed / seemed annoyed passing to him was clearly the best choice in most of those cases (Some of it is him being frustrated with himself too btw). Just like Raphinha channeled his fire into his current level we need Yamal to have this drive to be better.

He’s a La Masia product and thinks of the team but is keenly aware he is capable of deciding matches single handedly

I think his attitude has been great and only natural that his ego can get the best of him at times. However considering how consistently lethal he has been, no one can complain or fear he’s on a ‘bad’ path

He just has to be supported in his development because his case is unprecedented, it’s like no other before him

Being a bit unhappy to come off is fine.. these players are not used to it and it is far better than not caring.

Flick wont try to keep in him in check or call him on it at all unless is direspectful to team mates which he hasnt been and clearly is a very good team mate who gets on well with everyone.

Non issue and nothing Flick will address.

I am also a bit in disbelief about @Andresito failing to appreciate Lamine is indeed a playmaker as much as Neymar was

He’s a Tik Tok generation of footballers who love the flair but make no mistake his left foot is what all the greats had - he doesn’t put in crosses, they are passes to players in scoring position. What made him stand out in the youth ranks wasn’t his goal tally like Messi but his ability to decide matches and it wasn’t always by putting it into the net himself but setting up a teammate. It was extraordinary the way he toyed with the opposition, it looked effortless

It’s good he looks up to Neymar but hopefully he follows Leo‘s dedication to the game to be something unique in football with a long career they’ll talk about for ages rather than shining brightly but briefly

There is no ceiling on this kid if his head is on straight, he‘s a gift and has no peer

M3ls still melting down regarding Messi while continuing to do bungee jumps off pressing monster Busquets’s nuts?

Looks like there’s a certified fourth troll to add to the well known trio :lol:
