10 - Lamine Yamal

[malvolio]

I think having Neymar as his idol is a positive thing for the club, as Lamine saw for himself how Neymar wasted his talent thanks to his party life and greed.

Yeah, he went to Brasil for meditation and soul searching with his fallen master now turned monk, Neymar.

Please explain me the connection of Lamine visiting his idol during vacation and his knowledge about bad career choices watching Neymar wasting his talent.

Gavi is there with him. Why not share the same worries for him in his thread hmmmm…

Some players can separate moments when you can party, and moments when you need to be a committed professional. Nothing wrong with partying in vacation if you apply some basic safety measures. We will see if he starts to like partying more than football. Then his private lifestyle will become a huge career-jeopardizing problem.

Off the field and on the field activities can be properly compartmentalized by extroverted types, if the work ethic part is deeply embedded in their mentality.

The one problem is that avoiding temptations is certainly easier than controlling them. But I have seen people that party really hard and work really hard also, because they always keep the two on separate lanes. Hard, but doable if the individual in question has some strong principles that will help him control this addmitedly dangerous mix.

If spending his recently acquired fame and money becomes more satfisfying than playing football, then yes, he will throw it away. If not, he will continue to play football at an elite level, and can also have fun in his free time. Depends on education, intelligence, and personality.

Will be interesting to see. First superstar raised with tik tok, instagram and such.

Gavi isn't in Brazil, they were in Spain when they took that picture.

Gavi and pedri was in Africa while yamal was in Brazil, it's all over there IG.

 

[jamrock]

That's being said I understood those who worry that he idolizes Neymar he's a terrible example for any top footballer, especially one from Barca.

I like Neymar as a player, but as a person, fuck him.

 

[Horatio]

I think Loki made fair point about Neymar could be example for him of what happens if not dedicate to football.


Also fair chance Lamine will abstain from alcohol due to his environment.

 

[serghei]

The thing that can save Yamal is his winning mentality. There are some similarities with Ronaldo also, in that when it's time for serious business he seems to bring his best. That type of realistic arrogance can help Yamal put the required work in his football career. Neymar was different, once he made it big, he betrayed football and ended up as almost a footnote on the grand stage.

There are some elements that make me think Yamal knows the best always need to prove it on the field by winning.

 

[Horatio]

I don’t think Lamine has winning mentality in the way Ronaldo has. Ronaldo was kind of overcompensating due to insecurities.

What Lamine has shown to me so far is humility, maturity, intelligence, joy in play, focus and exceptional emotional control.

Also

Lamine Yamal wants to take penalties and free-kicks next season.

Lewa should still take the penalties while he is on the pitch. But for the free kicks, if Lamine has improved them, then he can take them, we have no body who is great at them currently.

 

[Horatio]

lamine needs a but more shooting strength no?

Could just be nonsense. Isn’t he relaxing on Ibiza?
