19 - Lamine Yamal

[brockg777]

Feel like he must have a little knock or something

 

[Givenchy]

He looked his age tonight, Mendes totally dominated that right side.

de la Fuente should've put Yamal on the other side for abit vs Semedo.

It happens. Probably just his 2nd poor game this year I can remember (or even season).

 

[Jaguar]

Nuno Mendes completely shut down Yamal tonight IMO.

I wouldn’t say that. Normally that’s when the full back simply gets the ball off them again and again. Yamal barely even tried to take him on.

 

[MonteCuler]

I wouldn't say Mendes shut him off when he didn't even attempt a lot of 1v1

For whatever reason he was very static, didn't want to dribble

And don't tell me he was scared of Mendes lol, that's not a possibility. A guy he molested in CL a year ago as a sixteen year old

Someone’s been waiting for a while to trash the kid.

And it’s not BBZ.

Let the man enjoy the Rabiot performance from earlier in peace.

I think Spain and Yamal will be fine guys no need to overblow the situation. Portugal took it to PKs and the 50/50 went there way. Thats it. Yamal played bad thats fine he cant be expected to be razor sharp every single big game.

Yamal and Spain will=Dynasty

Who cares about this tbh? His ballon d'or competition is french and he already rolled them over few days ago. That's job done for his ballon d'or charge.

Some will get angry for this, but it seems that Yamal talks way too much and drains his emotional batteries easily.

I know, he is a kid.
But for now, he is too emotionally invested in some matches.

A few weeks ago, when we won against Real in CDR final, I have seen some comments from him like "no matter if we are 0:3 down, we will win. No one can beat Barca this season."

10 days later we were litterally KOd in the most important matches of the season vs Inter, and he played with way less motivation than vs Real Madrid.

In Nations League, the same.
When it was Yamal vs Mbappe (Ballon D Or battle) or Barca's star vs Real's star, he was again flying on a field and played awesome.

But, the same as against Inter, it seems that he has drained all of his motivation vs Mbappe.
And today, he was again way below his level.
And his team lost again.
He was a non-factor.

I know, he is just a kid.
His attittude will probably improve.

But for now, we can count on Yamal in big matches ONLY if we didn't face Real/Vinicius/Jude/Mbappe a few days before the important tie.

He looked so afraid of dribbling to the penalty box.

 

[jamrock]

He was too worried about Mendes on the offensive end, trying to play a tactical game, when he should have just let loose.

I blame the coach

 

[MonteCuler]

He doesn't talk nearly as much as people make it out

You take his words and if someone else says them nobody will care

But media loves to overblow it
