I agree that Lamine Yamal is still too young to be expected to have a big impact on Barcelona's attack, but this player is really capable of showing his best form with good skills. No wonder several opposing defenders have to stop him with tackles and physical attacks, this is clear because Yamal has the potential to damage his opponent's defense because of his abilities.
I also think he is too young for the responsibility he is being saddled with. He is a very talented player but is very young, needing effective player management to reach his full potential, just as Lionel Messi had as a teenager.
Frank Rijkaard was very influential in the success that Lionel Messi enjoyed in his career. He managed him perfectly when he was getting introduced into the squad in the midst of a lot of accomplished player and allowed him to grow naturally without all the hype and attention the media can give. Other young talented players who failed to reach their full potential were lacking this.
