Rafa Márquez, trainer of the filial of the FC Barcelona, has spoken on the irruption of Lamine Yamal in this season and how sees him similarities with Lionel Messi, with the one who also coincided in the Barcelona picture

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Lamine Yamal does not happen careless in the FC Barcelona. It has turned into the big surprise in this season and in one of the most striking players of the European football, although has only 16 years. His personality, intelligence, good hit and desparpajo are converting him a very important piece in the approach of Xavi Hernández, in addition to having won his two first announcements to the absolute selection of Spain, although to the second neither could assist by physical problems.

The true is that the player formed in The Masia is giving a lot of what speak and has given space to the comparisons 'odiosas'. By his level and big impact being so jovn, are increasingly the voices that compare him with Lionel Messi and what, in his day, did to the hour of despuntar in the City Condal. Lamine Still has a big margin of improvement, but stands out in all the parties and shows that has wood of 'crack'.

Rafa Márquez, trainer of the Barça Atlètic, only has had praises to the footballer of 16 years. In some recent statements, collected by the newspaper 'SPORT', has spoken on the fact that it has appeared of the 'same' way that the Argentinian star and that it is so special as it is, by what will be one 'perla' of which will speak constantly in the Catalan picture.

The words of Rafa Márquez

In concrete, the Mexican has aimed that "Lamine Yamal is a case Messi. They are special. Has some conditions. It is the one of neighbourhood, the one who can do a gambeta, the one who surpasses contrary. It is a talent", adding that "I do not know if it will become like Messi but is special like him". It is a very important assessment on the player and gives a proof of the scope that can have Yamal in the Barça. Everything will depend on that it was still in line of promotion as up to now and that it was to regulate.

One of the aims of Xavi Hernández in this course is that Lamine have sufficient continuity so that it follow exploding as up to now. They do not want to overload it of minutes to avoid, for example, that repeat the case of Pedri in the 2020/2021, when between the Barça and Spain contested 72 parties and finish having physical problems that, of some way, accompany him until the actuality. His management will be key.
