Last Laliga season: 1.9 dribbles completed per game (55% success rate).

This season: 4.2 dribbles completed per game (55% success rate).

He has grown so fast. Both his skill and physicality.

Super young, skillful and full of swagger.

Adidas have their reasons.

I say this because even if hasn't won CLs yet for the club due to his age, if he adds that and delivers in CL in the biggest games, he immediately becomes the no1 player in the world and a true superstar.

Not if he gets injured in the first match.

Regarding an injury, I fear a bad tackle from a frustrated opponent or a thug that wants to intimidate him more than anything.

I think the risk of him getting injured by himself due to overplaying is low. I notice he often takes it easier during matches if we are in a good lead. Probably at the instructions of Flick and as a condition to keep staying on.

He gives me Messi like vibes when it comes to avoiding injury. He's already suffered many great hits and attempts to injure him. And he just brushed them off.

I've got no worries at all about him getting a serious injury or anything of that nature. Think he will be fit and available for over 90 percent of his career.

I would say he's not like Messi. Messi was robust physically despite being short. Short, but stuffy and hard to bring down. Yamal is good at avoiding tackles, Messi rode through them fiercely. They are very different players and comparison is forced in every way imo.

Yamal reminds me more of Zidane in a weird way tbh. Of course, different players, but the long strides, lanky physique with unusual gracefulness is reminiscent of him.

Messi as you point out is very different to Yamal and not really similar at all.

I can see a mix of Zidane and Henry also. His dribbling style reminds me of Neymar the most, just not quite as based on fancy tricks.

If he, or anyone else, gets injured on international duty, we only really have ourselves to blame. Why are we not doing more to pull our players out of squads? And don't tell me it isn't possible because I see Madrid do it all the time.

If we sign Nico, Spain will once again be Barca dominated, as it was when Spain won all it's trophies. Why are we not using that as a bargaining chip for equal treatment in the league?

They are trying to fuck us over with the rearrangement of the Osasuna fixture and we are just sitting there taking it whilst giving them our players to carry the Spanish national team.

Pfft, fix up and play some of the cards you hold FFS.

“I had the opportunity to work with Messi, and it was amazing, because this type of player is exceptional. I hope that one day Yamal can achieve what Messi did with Barcelona, because Messi has had a huge impact on this club,” Koeman continued.
