Lamine Yamal is a striking performer in Barcelona since he settled in the first team at the beginning of last season. During this period he blinded both supporters and experts, and former players are just as surprised.
One is David Villa, who is counted as the best attackers in Barcelona in the past 15 years. In conversation with MD, El Guaje was full of praise for Lamine Yamal, from whom he expects to continue to get better for a while.
“He is extraordinary. He is one of those football players who comes out from time to time. It is not only incredible because of what he shows on the field, but also because of how old he is and how long he has been doing it. At that age it is difficult to lead Barcelona and the national team. I think he's going to mark an era. I don't say it, he proves it. And what I see on the field is difficult to find a ceiling for him. We have to wait to see how far he goes, but I think he doesn't have a ceiling.
“That's why I think we should help him. It is important that we protect him that we are patient with him because he is a 17-year-old boy. We must enjoy him, help him, guide him and be aware that, despite being an excellent player and that we are lucky that he was born in our time and we can enjoy, he is 17 and we have to take care of him. “
It is difficult not to think about the player who could become Lamine Yamal, especially given the level that he is now performing. However, it is precisely that he must be protected to ensure that he can become the best possible player, and Barcelona expects him to stay in the club for this period.
