Yamal, the next Messi?

Yamar, Yamal!

After the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Yamal became the most popular player in football because he performed too well in this game.

"He is a genius that only fifty years have passed." Inter Milan coach Inzaghi commented on Yamal after the game. Note that this is a compliment from the coach of Barcelona's semi-final opponent, which is particularly rare.

17-year-old "children" Yamal played in this crucial semi-final, and this is his 100th game for Barcelona's first team; in last year's European Cup, he won the championship for the Spanish team, and no one shook the main position...

Such a result can't help but compare him with Messi.

In terms of data, Messi was far less outstanding than Yamal during the same period. Messi's real age for outbreak was 21 years old. What kind of results can Yamal achieve in four years?

Fonte, who once coached Yamal, recently accepted an interview with Spanish media, telling Yamal's growth experience and his views on his current performance.

Fonte said: "I am very lucky to help him grow. When I coached him in the junior team, he was already doing things that his peers could not do. He had this special talent that made you feel that he could achieve all his achievements. Although he was only 10 years old at the time, it was still difficult to make a conclusion about him." "From the data, he was already ahead of Messi's age. He was also more mature than Messi in terms of influence on the team, but what was more challenging was how to maintain a high level all year round like Messi."

Fonte expressed everyone's doubts: How long can Yamal's momentum last? Can he maintain a high level for more than 10 years like Messi?

After winning the World Cup, Messi was hailed as the third "King of Football" after Pele and Maradona. This is not only his data, but also his "man-ball integration", far exceeding all players of the same period. Of course, there is also his influence and money-making ability...

Regarding whether Yamal can achieve Messi's achievements, people in the circle are divided into two factions. Those who support Messi believe that there is only one Messi, and Yamal cannot reach Messi's height; while those who think Yamal has great prospects believe that Yamal's future is limitless, but there is a prerequisite: he must stay healthy.

On May 2, the latest institutional data showed that Yamal has become the biggest favorite for the Golden Globe Awards this year, and his odds for winning the Golden Globes reached 2.5.

Last season, Yamal entered the top ten of the Golden Ball Awards, and Yamal took a step further this season. If Barcelona can win the Champions League this season and have good performance in the finals, it would not be an accident that he won the Golden Ball Award.

If this is true, Yamal will surpass Ronaldo and become the youngest winner of the Golden Globes! Ronaldo won the Golden Globes at the age of 21 March and 5, and currently holds the record of winning the Golden Globes at the youngest time.

Yamar is only 17 years old now, and everything is possible in the future. Is he the next Messi? Let's see if he is the next Messi.
