Lamine Yamal is the new “prodigy” of Spanish football as he continuously breaks records with “Gaur”. In the Barcelona shirt (the team that made Lionel Messi famous ), Lamine Yamal also began to make a strong impression.
In Barcelona’s 1-0 win over Mallorca on March 9 in La Liga, Lamine Yamal scored a super goal to help the Catalan team win all 3 points.
Spanish experts and press have praised Lamine Yamal , identifying this star as Messi’s successor at Barcelona. Because they are both left-footed, play in the same position and have the same great technical qualities.
Coach Javier Aguirre (Mallorca) himself admitted: “I met Messi when he was in the Barcelona youth team. I looked at Messi for five minutes and noticed that he was like a mouse, constantly scoring goals. Lamine Yamal He also looks like a mouse. He’s young, he plays very well, let’s continue to improve to bring more joy to Barcelona.”
Coach Xavi (Barcelona) also admitted that Lamine Yamal has many similarities with Messi, but he emphasized that the comparison between them is not good for the young Barcelona striker. Xavi said: “Comparisons are not in favor of Lamine Yamal because Messi is completely different. Anyone who is compared to Messi is under a lot of pressure and often ‘loses’. There are moments when we see the image of Messi flashed in Lamine Yamal, because he is left-footed and his playing style is quite similar. But comparing him to the best in football history will not be good because he will lose.
