19 - Lamine Yamal

Yamal has been increasingly playing the role of playmaker these days. If you see his positioning, a lot of times you'll see him in the RCM role, while Kounde is up the pitch.
Having Raphinha in the RW won't work cuz there won't be space for Kounde to overlap and our left side will be thin.
Yamal is able to do this because the opposition rarely presses him while in the RCM role. We can use the left side to overload the pitch, and Yamal has the creative acumen and lack of press to pick out his passes or lofted balls.

Loved his aggressiveness and pressing after losing the ball. Made some tactical fouls too giving the team time to recover shape.

It's time to deploy the secret trap card. Yamal at the 10. Sticknl Raphinha over on the right side in his normal role with Ansu at LW/SS. Time to cook

Fati can channel Inter Miami with Yamal next to him, just to get them together on the pitch is worth playing Yamal outside his best position.

It will get worse. Lamine will be the target for dirty challenges more and more. I'm afraid this Barca is becoming Messidependencia thing once again.

On an individual note - Lamine is without a doubt the best U20 player on the planet. Barca as a club have to do their utmost to fulfill his potential.

Ronaldinho took Messi under his wing in the early days. Lamine is on his own with Lewa acting like big brother in celebrations as the big shot, but I can tell it's not genuine.
