19 - Lamine Yamal

[Barcaman]

Special kid. And plays great fasted!

 

[MonteCuler]

Two moments of magic and boom game over, this is what a player of immense quality brings you

 

[Andresito]

Carreras suspended and all of a sudden this guy cooks

Problem is just, that he has stamina for 45 minutes. Could bite us in the ass in games where we need him to perform for 90 minutes. But thankfully there are only 2 games remaining in March.

Noticed that too. So coach should sub him earlier.

What a fucking GOALAAAAZOOOOOOOOO

 

[Gnidrologist]

His issue is not as much stamina as that he starts to showboat too much, when game's going his way. No wonder he chose Ney over Leo. That influence is clearly visible. It's great for player like him trying to entertain public as much as can, but it will be difference between two goal and four goal advantage to make games secure as was with efficient ruthlessness of Leo style.

Do you think it's showboating? I actually think he takes the foot off the gas too much when the game is decided, he is too mature for 17 years old. Stops going 1v1 or playing with intensity. If it were showboating he would be doing tricks and stuff, but he just passes it back and slows down the game (for understandable reasons).

Haters in shambles

Whole team was doing that in 2nd half for the most part.

Clearly controlling game out.

smart tempo management by Flick

Ancient One approves

 

[Maradona37]

He might be fasting but he sure fed on Benfica there.

 

[Bran the Greenseer]

Completely missed the game just got to his assist in the highlights jesus fucking christ we're so lucky.

EDIT: Just got the second goal bro did i pick the worst time to go on a brunch date.

 

[Maradona37]

Great chop and assist (even if it was a shot).

But that goal is something special. He has that thing the true geniuses have of making it look like he's moving in slow motion or at a different pace to everyone else. It seemed when watching that that time stood still as he grazed across the grass then effortlessly caressed the ball into the roof of the net from that angle. Time seemingly stopped.

Very few players in the world can score that goal, left or right foot. To be frank people rate Cristiano Ronaldo really highly but he doesn't have that graceful effortlessness that Yamal has. All the true prodigies have it. Messi had it. Diego had it. Pele had it. R9 had it. Zidane had it. George Best had it. Cruyff had it. And so on.

And wee Lamine has it too.
