Ronaldo praised Yamal

Let's see that when he was only 18 years old, the young player Lamin Yamal was compared with historical superstars like Messi and Ronaldo. This itself shows how much attention he has received in football, and of course, it also reflects how huge the pressure he is under. Recently, even Ronaldo's son Cristiano Jr. was asked a sharp question during a live broadcast: Is Yamal better than your father?

Interestingly, Ronaldo's answer can be said to be very mature and skillful. He said: "At present, yes, but he hasn't won anything yet." This sentence is very worthy of our savoring. First of all, he admitted very objectively that from the current stage alone, Yamal's skills, state and magic on the field are excellent. But he immediately pointed out the most critical point, that is, to evaluate a player's greatness, ultimately, it depends on the honors and achievements he has won throughout his career.

This view is actually consistent with his father Ronaldo's own attitude. Ronaldo also praised Yamal's talent in previous interviews, but he also reminded the outside world to "let this child grow up" and not put too much pressure on him. This is actually the two legendary stars who have experienced strong storms and waves. They have the deepest understanding of the sport of football.

We must admit that Yamal's achievements before he was 18 years old, such as winning the European Cup and two La Liga titles, are indeed surpassing Messi and Ronaldo of the same age group in terms of data. However, the reason why Messi and Ronaldo are great is not how powerful they were at the age of 18, but because they can maintain this top-level state steadily for nearly twenty years. For Yamal, he has an all-time, perfect start, but the road ahead is still long. The outside world should look at his growth with a more peaceful and patient attitude.
