It may seem absurd to ask if Yamal will triumph in football. At 18 he has already won two leagues with Barça, in addition to a European Championship with Spain. Doubt arises from the pressure that can end up altering your private life.
It is not the first case of an early star. The most recent case of systematic bully was Vinícius. But the Brazilian arrived in Madrid with 18 years and the club knew how to take it until about 20 began to exploit its potential. Barcelona, without money, cannot be luxurious. Yamal is a great player, and is also the media claim of the Catalans. What has been a success in the short term, in the long term a nightmare can be made.
Not so much Bojan Krkic, another new Messi, was called to be part of the Spanish team that would play the 2008 Eurocup. The comparisons with Messi, the demands from Barcelona and the questions from Madrid affected it to the point that it began to have anxiety attacks. Bojan decided to reject the call. That Eurocup was won by Spain and started a unparalleled cycle also winning the World Cup in South Africa and the 2012 euro. Bojan would barely play a match with the absolute team. His career was not a failure, but he was far from what he predicted at the beginning.
Yamal, like Vinicius, has also suffered racist attacks. With a difference. While the Brazilian is that, foreigner, Yamal attacks him for being of Muslim origin.
The strongest debate came with the recent calls to the Spanish team. Last September he played two games, 79 minutes in the first, 73 in the second, having arrived with discomfort, and despite the fact that Spain won both meetings easily. Partially recovered, played with Barça the recent Champions League game against PSG.
Two things happened there. On the one hand, it is the first time that a team, a rival, manages to completely disable Yamal. On the other hand, he resent his injury. Despite this, with the Madrid press pressing for his call because he had played with Barça, and although Yamal asked De la Fuente not to summon it, the coach decided to do so. The answer was “if you play with Barça, you can play with us.” A few hours after his decrease due to three -week injury was announced.
In the middle, an 18 -year -old boy with an immature family environment, where the father makes a video saying that he lives and will live from the son, and a famous girlfriend with different media interests. And that PSG party. There are games that mark, maybe that's why he asked not to be summoned. Trust is key in such a young player. Barça has to protect the player, even his own environment. Despite his enormous talent, the risk of staying in could and was not latent.
