19 - Lamine Yamal

[Masetro10]

He still lacks explosive speed and speed over distance. If his height continues to increase, it is quite possible that his peak is already behind him.

Ok this is crazy af

Of all the games that you can sub him out, you sub him out in a final

DLF is an absolute fraud.

The thing is he took off everyone that could potentially win them the game. Nico, Pedri, Oyarzabal, Lamine.

The final brush stroke to the masterpiece was putting in Morata.

Some horrendous and downright lecherous takes in the last few pages, including deliberately misquoting Lamine to make him look bad and wrong, when infact he backed up everything he said before the games against Madrid and France, out on the pitch.

Going to have to avoid this dumpster fire of a thread in the future. Too many folk trying to claim the scalp of the top dog, so they can come back and revel in their massive W.

Truly despicable stuff.

Exactly the same happened with Messi.

And exactly the same humble pie Messi delivered, will be delivered by Lamine too.

He was bad

Hes 17, it happens.

In fact its a testament to how good he is when people try to catch and troll him for his few bad games

WTF was DLF thinking with those subs? Absolutely horrible game management. That being said I honestly hope Yamal doesn't win Ballon d'Or this year. IMHO he didn't deserve it and it would be better for his career not to win it so easily. His arrogance is a bit to strong for my taste.

I think most ppl agree

No Lamine, no party. Same goes for Spain as for us back in November. He was clearly too tired after this season. While he managed to recover for France, he couldn't manage another game on the same level 3 days later. It's okay and natural.
In total, he played 4500 minutes this season, absolutely insane. Messi with 17 in the 04/05 season played 1800 minutes. Nearly 3 times less and most of his games were in the Segunda-B.

Finally these meaningless friendlies are over, he can rest now.

 

[BJJ]

This kid is fucking 17 years old and performing at the highest level.
People who troll him need to ask what they were doing at 17.
No Lamine, no treble. Simple.

 

[serghei]

Looked tired, that's all. Move on. Spain had one less day to rest and it showed.

 

[vegitot]

Play like his mind was somewhere else. Didn't even dribble like he always does.

I hear that before the semi final vs France, journalists hesitated to choose between Yamal and Dembele and thought the semi final would decide which one they will vote for.

As we know Yamal had a great performance and won over Dembele, Mbappe.... So dunno if any insider tell him that he is the favourite now.

 

[El Flaco]

Yup. Mendes is really good. Not new news but damn.

No doubt Mendes was awesome last night. But he also got a lot help from Vitinha/Inacio with Bernardo sliding in to block the pass lane behind them and Yamal not really having much of a passing outlet besides going back to Pedri.

I wasn't speaking in the context of his performance in the context of a single match. Messi had a lot of bad qualities too. I'm speaking in terms of his basic natural skills. Yes, 17 (soon 18), but his starting speed won't get any better, his speed over distance won't get any better, he won't get any more agile. Moreover, if his height increases, these indicators may get worse.

 

[M3ls]

And in the future he can become a player of the format-level of Mahrez. All comparisons with Leo are absurd. Messi is on a different level in terms of basic natural skills.

The only aspect of the game in which 17 year old Lamine surpasses 18-19 Leo is non-standard passes and impudence.

Leo did not have such freedom of action at 18.
