19 - Lamine Yamal

[FinBarcelonafan]

Isn't he loaded from commercials already? It's not like he is hurting for money. His commercial value is ridiculous even at this point.

He needs to get paid. No way around it thou. The best gets paid the best.

 

[FCBarca]

Yeah, it‘s all silly money but no doubt a player of his caliber should be compensated accordingly - so no surprise the devil is in the details

Outcome is clear, he will continue…for 15 years, I hope

hustle_hard_304 is a RM fan , that's all I need to tell you

 

[Barcaman]

Would have been awesome if all these domestic players, captains and quite a few former ones (legends too) lowered their demands based off loyalty to their home club in difficult times but alas. Only few are really Barcelonistas to the core.

Yeah it's worth noting how Yamal is smart enough not to force his dribbles even though he has the skill and instead often just plays the smart and easy pass.

 

[FCBarca]

Very different profile players but I wager Lamine actually has a higher success rate from same age in terms of completed dribbles, pass completion % & the audacious move or touch

The high rate at which he makes the correct decision, I think we can comfortably say Leo wasn’t doing similar until he was 21 (maybe even 22/23)

Doesn’t guarantee anything in terms of Yamal’s trajectory of development but it is nevertheless remarkable precisely because of his age…and naturally, players are still developing their game & understanding of how/when to impose themselves on the game

Therefore, it‘s fairly straightforward that this can only improve with time

 

[xXKonan]

Vini is fast and persistent which leads him to dribble over and over again until he makes it work.

I've seen a lot of Madrid fans be critical of the way he does certain things, but gave him a pass because it somehow worked for awhile.

 

[MonteCuler]

Lamine is better than Vini ever was/ever will be, different dimensions of talent

From the comments under that tweet I can see people struggling to live with this obvious fact

 

[DonAK]

Lamine is cool-headed.

Vinicius is easy to rattle and make him lose focus for large portions of a game with his insufferable antics.

 

[Horatio]

Yeah…I am starting to suspect he’s highly intelligent.

The level of calmness is crazy. Also during presser

I am onto something…



…per usual

 

[KingLeo10]

He’s cool and collected because he knows he’s in a different stratosphere of talent to anyone currently playing in Europe.

 

[Porque]

Clearly would be half the player he is if his dad was a Barca fan.

Installed that statehood confidence into from a young age that no matter what you do, the refs, the police, the country and Franco's ghost, they got your back.

Made him an unreal player.

 

[DonAK]

His dad is not like Neymar Sr anyway and Lamine has hired Jorge Mendes for the simple reason of havng a proper agent and not letting his family meddle.

Don't take my word for it though. Just go and ask the locals who have watched him support the guy and his team mates throughout every year at La Masia.

Mr. Hustle Hard is more of a funny clown than a snake or schemer.

 

[Windhook]

I'm not worried about Lamine's dad, nor Neymar, Sr. comparisons.

What worries me are the whores that hang around. Those bitches can fuck up the greatest talent and Lamine is not the shy Messi figure to stick with his childhood sweetheart.
