The world of football kneels before Yamal laminae. At just 16 years old, the talented Barcelona striker became the youngest to play a European Championship match against Croatia. For the class of 2007, an assist also arrived, that of the third goal scored by Dani Carvajal, demonstrating his immediate ability to make an impact on the football of the greats. As they write in Spain, on the right wing of the Roja Yamal offered a real “recital” (a show), proving to be a constant thorn in the side of the opposing rearguard and above all for a certain Gvardiol, the highest paid defender ever.
The coronation of Carvajal and De la Fuente
Now ready to face Italy, the new little phenomenon produced by Masia meanwhile enjoys the compliments of his more experienced teammates: “Lamine was very good and surpassed Gvardiol on several occasions. We are very happy because we played an excellent match “he said for example Dani Carvajal. “Lamine continues to break records and mature more and more every day, in an increasingly positive way. Over time he will become a great player. But I ask him for the same calm that he has had until now”, the coach reminded him Luis de la Fuente.
“He’s only left-handed”
It doesn’t hurt if, as he is sometimes reproached for, Yamal only plays with his left foot. The years of experience are still far fewer than he can add to his brilliant career. The future is entirely on his side, the present – the immediate one – is the big match against the Italian national team on Thursday. In the hope that in our country too, sooner or later, it won’t seem like a utopia to field a 16-year-old who is worth among the Gods of football.
