Lamine Yamal is the new owner of the number 10 at FC Barcelona. I'm very happy for him, he deserved it. Barca's decision to give number 10 jersey to Ansu Fati was wrong. Fati was perhaps the biggest flop in the history of La Masia. Luckily they sent him to Monaco. Yamal will carry the number 10 very well.
This iconic jersey is a legacy of Maradona, Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Messi. We'll finally get to see a real superstar wearing it again.
I have never being so happy for a young talent like Yamal and a very few others. That number 10 is well deserved, and no doubt, he will definitely make exploit. Only those that haven't really watched him play will want to doubt his potential. Watching him play is always amusing, because I end up opening my mouth the moment ball touches his feet. My greatest joy is that he isn't an English player, and he doesn't play in the premier league, because we all know how well the English media does their thing especially when it has to do with a very young talent that is very brilliant.
So, Yamal must be able to control this if he wants to become a football legend like Messi, because becoming like Messi won't be easy for any player unless he has a lot of teammates willing to support him to become even greater in his football career.
Just the way I won't compare Messi to Maradona, I don't think I will do the same for Yamal as well because they all played in different generations and what they achieved in their various age wasn't even the same. Yamal will end up becoming Yamal. My only advise is that he stays clear from the media, because the same media that praise a player today is quick to condemning a play tomorrow, especially during a tough time. And it seems he's more of the party type, well, that's his choice, but I believe we all knew that same part didn't end well for players like Neymar, Ronaldinho, and a very few others. I hope it clicks well for him.
