Barca News
The Joan Gamper Trophy had a prominent name. The one of Lamine Yamal. The young footballer, only sixteen years old, jumped into the Olímpic de Montjuïc when there were only ten minutes to go before reaching 90 and with Barça behind on the scoreboard.
Xavi’s men scored three goals. Lamine Yamal did not score any, but he was the origin of the three with three spectacular actions in which he drove Sergio Reguilón crazy, raising the public from their seats and remembering that Messi Gamper against Juventus in 2005 .
FIRST TEAM
At the club, everyone knows that Lamine Yamal is destined to be a differential player in the coming years, but everyone is also aware that one must be careful with who is the youngest rookie in the history of Barça in the La Liga, aged 15 years, 9 months and 16 days, a circumstance that happened on April 29 in a match against Betis . That day he already showed his quality, with a great assist for Dembélé and with a shot that only Rui Silva’s good intervention prevented it from ending in a goal.
Lamine Yamal was then already being pampered by Xavi, who decided to take him on the pre-season tour of the United States, taking part in the matches against Arsenal and against Milan. His progression in all these months has been spectacular.
The Terrassa coach is very satisfied with his performance, with how he is training and because he perfectly understands the team’s game and everything the coach asks of him. That is why Xavi has decided that he will continue in the dynamics of the first team and it is certain that he will be on the squad to travel to Getafe next Sunday for Barça’s debut in the League against the team coached by Pepe Bordalás.
GOODBYE TO DEMBÉLÉ
The player, for his part, touches his feet on the ground. He knows that he must go through stages calmly and that his place is in Rafa Márquez’s subsidiary , but he is also aware that he has a great opportunity to be a protagonist in the first team after the departure of Ousmane Dembélé to PSG .
Lamine Yamal, a footballer with a great left leg, plays very well with a different leg and for the position of winger on the right wing, very important for Xavi, the one from Terrassa only has Raphinha, although Ferran Torres can also play. That is why Lamine Yamal will have a lot of prominence in the first team, at least until a new attacker arrives, if he arrives, since the coach’s priorities are the arrival of an inside player and a right back .
