It’s Not About How Yamal Starts, It’s About How He Ends – Lewandowski

Barcelona youngster, Lamine Yamal is the best winger in the world, Robert Lewandowski has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he sees him in that light already because he has done a lot in his football career already despite being just 17 years old.

Lewa, however, added that the Barcelona youngster must be cautious because it is never about how you start as a footballer, but how you end.

His words, “Of course. Now it will be easy to say, of course I see him as the best winger in the world. But of course, he is 17 years old. A football career is so long, sometimes it’s not important how you start, what’s more important is how you finish or how will be the next years, not two or three years but the next 10-15 years. And in the next 15 years, he will be 32.

When I see the next generation, they have a huge challenge, from them, in the social media. One day, you are the hero, but the next day, you are on the ground. I wish for him that he will be strong for the long career, and it doesn’t matter what the people are saying now, or what the people are going to say, he stays on the ground and thinks ‘okay, that is part of my life, the football that I want to enjoy, I want to give the fans a lot of happiness in the end’.”

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona, commonly referred to as Barcelona and colloquially known as Barça, 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.

There is often a fierce rivalry between the two strongest teams in a national league, and this is particularly the case in La Liga, where the game between Barcelona and Real Madrid is known as “The Classic” (El Clásico).

From the start of national competitions the clubs were seen as representatives of two rival regions in Spain: Catalonia and Castile, as well as of the two cities. The rivalry reflects what many regard as the political and cultural tensions felt between Catalans and the Castilians, seen by one author as a re-enactment of the Spanish Civil War. Over the years, the head-to-head record between the two clubs is 102 victories for Madrid, 100 victories for Barcelona, and 52 draws.
