Even Messi on those dribbling runs combined a quick one two with a teammate very often. Yamal doesn't have that and I think Flick partialy at fault for it. He prefers spamming crosses and long shots. It's also true the team mates aren't on the level techically.
He does waste a lot of balls but still gets end product. Would never work in pep era where key was control but it does fit in Flick's chaos where we take more risks.
Sure you cant outrun a pass but you can predict where that pass will go.If a player's calm executing a basic three meter pass back into Yamal's open space should be easy for any professional. But Flick doesn't train tiki since he knows the internet thinks tiki's outdated and pig running is modern way. If common sense prevailed everyone would know no human can run faster than the ball can be passed, yet here we are.

Thats why you need unpredictability added to the mix
Zirkzee is trash not Barca materialIf you were paying attention during Villa match you'd notice his teammates take multiple touches inside the box moving nowhere, any defender loves that. If you watch the Zirkz highlights I posted you'd notice he's doing one touch link up play with all his teammates on the move. Can't believe I have to explain this to a Barca fan, yet here we are.
