Lamine Yamal Is Playing Like An Adult On The Pitch – Patrick Kluivert

Ex Barcelona striker, Patrick Kluivert has come out to hail Lamine Yamal for his memorable start to life in a Blaugrana shirt. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Yamal has shown that he has a different quality among his peers, and he is currently playing like an adult on the pitch.

He, however, added that Barcelona should watch his minutes so the youngster does not burn out.

His words, “To put pressure on a boy that’s 16 years old… It’s not right. But it’s automatically going. If you look how he performs, if you look how he scores, the goals, it’s a different quality. He will get the pressure automatically, and that’s normal when you perform like this. He’s performing like an adult on the pitch.”

On the club risking a burnout, “If you play a lot of games, also the national team, also for Barca, it could be possible that the engine is going out.”

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.
