Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta has tipped teenage sensation Lamine Yamal to reach the very pinnacle of world football. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the Spaniard possesses the natural ability required to become an all-time great, and Yamal only needs to focus on being consistent on the pitch henceforth.
Iniesta added that he intends to start coaching as soon as he gets his pro license.
His words, “Lamine Yamal’s challenge is to keep growing every year. He plays with incredible naturalness, and it is in his hands to become one of the greatest if he keeps pushing himself.”
On his next chapter, “My idea is to start coaching soon. I am missing the Pro license, which I am completing here in Asia. As a coach, you start watching football differently, with a different perspective. The ball still attracts you, but today there are very few secrets. What matters now is preparing myself in the best possible way.
When you start coaching, you first need to know the players you have and what they can give you. You must have a clear idea of how you want to play, but also the mentality to adapt to the situation.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.
The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.
In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
