10 - Lamine Yamal

Basta yaaaaaaa, Cabron ! y Bona nit 🥂
He needs to leave for his own sanity and I fully hope he does.

He called out Madrid for the club that they are, a club almost entirely reliant on help from the referees, and HE WAS PROVEN RIGHT in the game.

He was defending the shield and the club when he spoke, and yet now some Barca cucks are revelling in his downfall as much as the Mandrills. Such trechoury that some are even supporting Vini over him. :lol:

He will go on to be generational, but this fanbase don't deserve for that to occur at this club.

Does NOT mean be shouldn't be criticised for what he says, just not when he is DEFENDING THE CLUB.

Barca fanbase have a big problem not supporting their players and generally being mega cucks for Madrid. It's a big reason why Madrid have been able to get away with blue murder for so long.

I have said a few months ago that he was one of the main reasons for our CL defeat.

Yes, his displays got us to the semis but then he ruined it.

1. before the Inter's match, he said (after Cdr win): we are Barca. Nobody can beat us. Even if we are losing 0:3, we will come back.

A few days later, he plays average in two matches.
In the 2nd leg he plays hero-ball football for 120 minutes as if it was his solo-match.
And let's never forget that counter in the last minutes when he has hit the post even though he had better options on the left.

The kid celebrates too early in almost every big match.
He probably loses too much mental strength and motivation on arguing on social media and by the time the match comes, his motivation is gone.

It feels as if he is more interested about arguing, stirring shit, what people think about him than about actual football matches and trophies.

He reminds me of Arthur in that sense.
Arthur came here and had 2-3 periods for 2-3-4 months when he played very good.
But the problem is that Arthur played well only when he was angry.
Examples:
1) when he came, Rakitic was a starter. Arthur got mad, played with 120%, earned his spot. But once when he became a starter, he lost motivation and started to play bad.
2) then he was benched for a few weeks, got mad again, played at 120% and earned his spot again. But once when he has earned his spot, he lost motivation again.
3) then he got injured and benched and got mad again.
But the problem is that in each new episode, his good periods lasted shorter and shorter until he was sold.

To some extent, I see some similarities in Yamal.
He doesn't seem to have "natural motivation" like Cr7, Modric etc.

He seem to have a motivation that comes only from moments when:
1) he is unknown
2) when he is fighting with someone
3) when we play against Real Madrid
4) when he wants to win Ballon D Or

In short: he has issues with healthy motivation and consistency.
From what he has shown till now, he will be some sort of Jekyll and Hyde type of a player:
1) in one month he will be angry and motivated
2) in the next month, he will be a non-factor on matches

Since he is our main player, with that type of a behavior, you can never rely on him in big CL knockout matches.

Some fans compared him with Messi.
But personality wise, Messi was humble and never bragged about his goals aged 17, 18, 19.

For a comparison, Yamal is aged 18 and 3 months and to some extent, it seems that he is already tired and burned out from fame and football.

Messi was aged 18 and 3 months under Rijkaard in 2005/06 season and he wasn't even a clear starter yet.
In that season, Messi and Guily were rotated as a Rw.
During that season Messi won his place but got injured in spring and missed CL quarters, semis and a final.

So, until the age of 19, Messi had only 2-3 CL knockout matches under his belt (iirc).
On a Wc 2006, he has barely played.

So, by the age of 19, Messi had a little CL or WC impact.
And even on a club level, he was still earning his spot and was far behind Ronaldinho and Etoo as club's superstars.

On the other hand, Yamal has already won too much and he is not "right" in his head anymore.

I mean, there are 100s of examples of Disney teen superstars who, in 90%, of cases ended as drug addicts or dead by the age of 30 due to becoming too famous too early and it messed with their mental health.

On top of that, we have Yamal who already seems to be losing his mind yet his surroundings are extremely bad and unhealthy (his family).

And social media and fans are worse than ever. Everyone is just waiting for fights, scandals, records.
The current era of social media is way more exhausting on mental health than era in 2005 or 2015.
Yet, Yamal is mentally weaker than superstars from 2005' or 2015'.

All in all, there is like 1% chance that Yamal will be anything even remotely close to Messi long term.

Imo, he will be closer to Neymar/Robinho/Adriano and he'll be (mentally) done by the age (23)-24-25.

He is still injured and playing through pain, as he has been for the last few months.

BBZ classic to sweep once there is an anomaly in his performances and claim that's what's been happening all along.
Anyone without a strong bias who follows Lamine could see he didn't move the way he did only months ago and was hesitant to accelerate or get into duels.

Stopped reading at that point. Not sure if any Inzaghi, Bastoni or anyone else from the opposition team agrees with you really.

Martí Perarnau, after the excessive reaction in the football world to Lamine Yamal's statements, expresses his opinion: "Lamine's behavior has generated a lot of noise in Madrid and Barcelona and it seems excessive to me. We're not talking about someone involved in a case of child pornography, that's not talked about," he explains on 'RAC 1' in a clear reference to Raúl Asencio's situation at the Merengue club and the double standards applied to one team and the other.

Furthermore, Perarnau laments that what's being talked about is an "18-year-old boy who made some 'irritating' statements before the match" or the celebrations that the European champion with Spain might have. "He puts on a crown and talks about it, and not about the celebrations of players who celebrate by threatening to cut other people's throats," he adds, referring to the constant criticism of the Barça youth player, comparing his celebrations with those of Rüdiger last season at the Metropolitano. Finally, on the off-sporting side, he points out that there is "a difference in analysis regarding much more serious matters."

Well said, Martí

I think what many Barca fans are criticizing is not the veracity of his statements - no self respecting Barca fan would, considering the mountain of evidence that exist, argue against the idea that Madrid is consistently favored by referee decisions - but rather the timing of his statements.

The team is not performing well. We've lost key players since last season either through injury or leaving the club. Madrid themselves are hungry for revenge after losing in embarassing fashion last season. He himself is underperforming, possibly still carrying an injury.

Why put unnecessary pressure on yourself and the team by making those comments now, when you and everyone else knew this match at best would be a close call for us, and you are not even performing up to the standard.

In other words, why talk the talk, if you know you cannot walk the walk? Even if it's not your fault. We know you are a fantastic player and capable of it. But you are setting yourself up for embarrassment. It would have been nice if after those comments we smacked them around, but that was not going to happen so stirring a hornet's nest beforehand shows his youthful stupidity.

Saying Madrid cheats isn't putting pressure on yourself in my opinion, especially when the ref gave Madrid an interesting penalty and denied Barca again even after the statement, which shows that we're normalizing Madrid getting favors.

I think more people should talk about it, and not push down on Yamal for saying the obvious.

📁🚨 Summary on the 'Lamine Yamal case' as confirmed in today's covers of both MD and Sport.

- Barcelona are very disappointed and concerned with Lamine Yamal's recent behavior off the pitch

- They see his words as a sign of immaturity, giving extra motivation to rivals and negative attention

- The club and his agent Jorge Mendes will now closely monitor his social media posts and interviews, as to prevent reckless statements or excessive exposure of his private life

- They expect him to completely recover from his injury, recover match fitness, and focus only on football

Finally club has had enough
