At just 18 years old, Lamine Yamal has had extraordinary achievements at Barcelona. He has now made over 100 appearances for the club, scoring 25 goals and providing 34 assists. In terms of titles, Lamine helped Barcelona win La Liga twice, as well as winning individual titles such as the Kopa Trophy and Golden Boy, affirming his position as a world-class talent in the new generation.
This has led many to constantly compare Yamal and Messi - a legend who also emerged very early at Barcelona. However, recently, president Joan Laporta denied these statements: Lamine Yamal is Lamine Yamal, Leo Messi is Leo Messi. Leo is the greatest player in the history of world football. As for Yamal, with what he has shown, he is the best player in the world at the moment.
Despite his talent, Yamal's lifestyle is completely different from Messi's simplicity. Recently, the Spanish star has been embroiled in many controversies related to off-field behavior such as hiring a loanwife and many beautiful girls for birthdays, or disrespectful attitude towards Ronaldo.
However, the Laporta president still ensures that the Barcelona youngster will continue to maintain his professionalism. In Lamines case, there are not many players like him because he is a genius and at the highest level, he said. He is very professional and knows that to be the best, he needs to stay in shape.
He needs to train, he needs to follow the advice of the coach and those around him. Of course, it is also very important to maintain excitement and fun while playing football.
