You'll normally call it a cliché but not this time, he's truly a generational talent..His dribbling, ball control, playmaking skills, decision making and ball curling at the age of 16 are incredibly insane..The kid is something else.. We're lucky to have him in Barça looking at our financial crisis..Visca Barça 💙❤️🤘

[@ricaard6959]

What truly sets Lamine apart is his decision making. Like bruh even Messi himself wasn't as good at knowing what to do and when and not just that but to execute it is ludicrous. Let's pray for this boy cause he's different.

[@Anonymous-fr2op]

@@ricaard6959 At this age, heck yeah, Messi's decision-making wasn't this good. Like, that assist to Olmo was a thing of beauty. And that goal against France, he stopped to decide whether to shoot or just pass and he made the right choice. This kid's got a bright future.

What impresses me most about Yamal isn’t his technical ability. It’s his IQ, his maturity for his age. Dude picks and chooses his battles. He’ll pass the ball back in times where other wingers will attack and lose it, make a killer pass instead of trying to score and when he does shoot 🎯 He’s selfless and it’s incredible to witness. A true intergenerarional talent. We’re witnessing greatness. Hopefully the kid stays healthy and hungry.

[@lifeforgod07]

I agree. He plays like a seasoned veteran

That strength, along with his skills and incredible maturity is gonna take him to new heights.

Their midfield is stacked, their defense is good and their offense is pitch-perfect.

Barcelona and Spain wear down their best youngsters. which is part of the reason for Pedri and Gavi`s constant injury issues. I do hope that Yamal doesn`t suffer the same fate, because he looks like a truly special player.

[@aleck1739]

Krcic, Fati, Gavi, Pedri, Wilshire, etc. luck and getting the blessing from God is the biggest factor. I think Lamine has shown he is truly blessed with not just insane skill but an athleticism that will help him stay healthy. His choices and reaction to fame will be the make or break of a long career. Don’t fall to simple pleasures just cause you can, eventually it’ll come hurt you and sometimes you can do everything right and still not live up to potential. Faith, humility, gratefulness will be the path forward. I really like this kid and am rooting for him. Judging by veteran players from Spain’s bench getting super excited for him shows me he is on a good path.

[@srelma]

I just hope he'll stay healthy. Such a beautiful player to watch. Next Messi.

[@xyylem]

I remember people used to lambaste the comparison of young Messi to Maradonna saying he's not even talented as Robino or Kaka and he's overrated. Messi himself detested the comparisons too. A few years after, he'd exceeded everyone's expectations... even the ones who said he needed a World Cup to even be considered. Yet today, people still say he good but nowhere near the likes of Pele, Maradonna or even cr7. I say let people have their opinions...the facts will be backed with the stats. Lamine is extremely talented and he's a kid. Please let us fans enjoy him and the joy he brings to the game of football.

Hey Raymar. Can you possibly make a video about Edin Dzeko. One of the most if not the most underrated striker of this generation. His unbelievable performance at wolfsburg to win their first Bundesliga, his goal agaisnt qpr to put city level that was overshadowed by aguero, his top tier striker performances at roma, bringing bosnia to their first ever world cup. He holds a place in my heart because growing up when people would hear that i am Bosnian they will see me as a war child, because of the horrible things that happened in Bosnia, but with the rise of Edin Dzeko people saw Bosnia as “the country edin dzeko is from” and not “the war torn country”. He helped bring a good light to the country. Thank you and love your videos ❤️

I agree. Before Kun Agüero came into his own at City, Džeko was their best striker besides Tevez. Edin also had a good scoring record in the Premier League and was quite lethal at Roma. Man really deserves more respect…

I believe he will be blessed when it comes to injuries. He already had some serious tackles like early in the game against Brazil. He also has a strict diet from young age by living in La Masia (all food prepared for them). For example Ansu Fati often eat at his home cooked by his mom. Nothing wrong with that but going elite and eating mam's foot isn't like for example CR7 who mastered that part (only reason he could compete a bit with Leo).
