19 - Lamine Yamal

Best 17 yo in history?
Ability wise probably not. I reckon 17yo Messi could do more than him although wouldn't have the courage nor opportunity to pull it off on the biggest stage.

But what he has achieved so far and the reputation he has earned, the popularity I really don't think any 17 year old had that ever before

Mbappe was older but he wasn't this good either, nor this feared. He was more of a wonderkid whereas Lamine is a proper footballer already.

When games are done and dusted he plays only for himself. CR and Messi used to want to statpad too but the difference is Yamal becomes a worse player the more ego he has and it has opposite effect on his output.

When he plays normally he's a beast and an asset no doubt. The G/A also come when he isn't desperately looking for them.

When he is overplayed for 2 years now and we have to keep him on at 4-0 and man extra just for him to chase his personal goal then we have a problem. At 17.
We don't have to play him full 90 minutes. I HIGHLY doubt he demands that from Flick, especially now that he's fasting. It's one thing I still can't understand about Flick's management and that I hate about him.

Insane talent but he needs to be reigned in a bit.

No way he should be playing the full game at 3-0 when we have our best chance in CL in ages.

We already know that Polish statpadder would pull this shit to get his goal but I expect better from Lamine.

How is him playing full 90 his fault? That's on Flick. I don't think players can sub themselves off.

You are ignorant if you think superstar players don’t get to pick when they are subbed :lol:

Even Pep and Mou couldn’t sub Messi or CR7 in their heyday when they didn’t want to be subbed.

Flick can decide for himself, it's one of the things he's known for. If he wanted to bench Lamine, he would. On top of that Lamine is not nearly the superstar level of Messi or CR, he's a kid who won't go anywhere at least for some time.
