19 - Lamine Yamal

[Daisymorr]

What a match from him tonight.
Unbelievable player for 16. I'd almost say our best attacking player in the squad already.
Very good decision making for such a young player.

Torres pointed to Yamal where to pass. The third goal.

Lot of good point in him, but let's not fool ourself yet... So much can change in even 6 month... Really enjoyed his perforrmance but we have to see how it goes against teams whih are focus on defense and that give less space
Ps : Let's not forget that by his incredible Aura, the Shark makes everyone better with is Goal craving aura

I think the hype is warranted. You don't put up a performance like that at 16, with the variety of skills he displayed in dribbling, shooting and passing and just fall away. Add to that the game intelligence and decision making that he has and he just has far too many assets in his locker to fail.

This was also against a Betis side who have been fairly good defensively, at home, at least, in one of the most atmospheric stadiums in Europe.

I think we can safely say that Lamine will have a great career. Just how great is anyone's guess though.

 

[Andresito]

Let's see if he can keep this up. Would be very surprised as consistency is what ALL young teenagers lack.

Could be a golden opportunity to seal his place in the XI with Raphinha out.

He tracks back and works hard too, stamina doesn't seem to be an issue.

Only thing that can change anything is injuries.. other wise there is no stopping him.

Or.. the arrival of Messinho.

The world ain't ready.

 

[BusiTheKing]

Haven't seen many, if any, 16 year olds with that sort of composure and vision.

Think we have a gem on our hands here.

Looked decently speedy as well.

 

[Temptation]

He's not a natural goalscorer. He's much more of a dribbler and creator.


Will end up as a CAM or a creative RW.


Very promising for his age.

destined to be great

 

[Laplacian]

Looks like Neymar speed-wise. Not fast, as in powerful sprinter like Ronaldo/Mbappe type, but agile, and quick feet.

Neymar was very fast. Just not the fastest winger/forward of his generation like Mbappe and Ronaldo Nazario (CR7) is/were. Just because you're not the fastest doesn't mean you're not fast. Neymar at his prime easily blew past most fullbacks with ease.

 

[mc_lovin]

Would still bank on Lamine getting faster. When you watch a few videos of 16 years old forwards they all looked slower than their older years (19-21).

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

Sad it took Xavi being close to fired before given freedom from being banished to touchline play.

 

[Windhook]

Lamine needed this game. It played out perfectly from 0-2 to 2-2, then 2-4 to battle and harden Lamine. Now he knows the experience and what it feels like. He went straight to Xavi to celebrate the assist on Ferran. It has to be special.

Lamine is the new Barca wizard. The sky and hamstring injuries are the limit.

 

[soul24rage]

Crazy to think that in 10 years, he'll still only be 26 years old and in his prime lol

The year is 2040 and Lamal and Cubarsi are not long past 30.

Wild.
