I was of course surprised to hear the news that Lamine Yamal was interested in PSG. Les Parisien, did not hesitate to propose to Yamal for 200 million euros. However, adapted from Football Espana, Barcelona rejected PSG’s crazy offer.
And I hope that Barcelona really won’t sell Yamal even though the economic situation is bad. Because, it is not impossible that PSG, through Jorge Mendes, will make a more unreasonable offer to Yamal so that Barca will let him go.
And we know, PSG, a magic club that is clever and has a magnet when it comes to the transfer saga. Just look at Neymar and Messi. Barca, could not help but submit to the French team’s offer.
We are aware that the Blaugrana economy is collapsing. And who knows when it will get better and become stable again. So, when PSG looked at Yamal and made a high offer for Barca, indirectly the PSG crew thought – apart from replacing Mbappe who reportedly wanted to leave – they also wanted to help Barca’s finances improve quickly, even if only for a moment. The method? Buy Yamal at a great price.
In this way, the money will be able to help Barca, who currently really need money. The most obvious thing is that Barca is in a player salary bill situation.
Will money from the sale of Yamal be a solution? Maybe for a while, YES. But, will all the financial problems that Barca are experiencing be enough to be patched up with the money from the sale of the 16 year old player? Obviously not.
And I hope Barcelona realizes that. Simple. However, this simplicity will be a big problem if Barca is careless. If Yamal leaves, it will be difficult to find a replacement.
The problem is, if Yamal leaves Barca, it is clear that the Catalan team will have difficulty finding a replacement. If you want to buy players from other teams who are at the same level or better than Yamal, the money is tight.
Even if there is a player that Barca wants, he doesn’t necessarily want it. If you want to take it from team B, it clearly needs time to shine, that is if it exists and is worthy of being a replacement for Yamal and the position is the same.
Apart from that, why doesn’t Barca need to be complacent about offers from anyone to let Yamal go, because Barca needs Yamal. Needs must be met: maintaining them is a necessity. Like this, do you still want to be terrorized by PSG?
Barcelona needs a Yamal figure. This season, in all competitions Yamal scored 6 goals, 4 of which came in La Liga. You could say, a record that is less than epic, especially for an attacker.
However, considering his young age, he often plays as a substitute, or starts but is replaced, his score of 6 goals is quite good.
In fact, Yamal is more than just good. Carrying Barca against Mallorca, for example. Another reason why Yamal is worth preserving? Yes, because he is a light for Barca. This boy stands out. The quality shows.
As an attacker, he is not slow to penetrate even though his opponents are much older and have a thick beard. Not afraid to accelerate into the box even though his movements are ready to be tackled. Don’t hesitate to shoot. Both outside and inside the box.
Kicks from outside the penalty box must be underlined. Because, Yamal often does it. Meanwhile for others, where do you want to go? If you don’t pass it to the edge, turn it back (not sure whether) even though you have the opportunity and space to shoot.
Yamal, don’t want to stay long and don’t like it like that. It is this confidence and courage in shots from outside the box that is often lacking from Barca. And, Yamal, filled the void with his ingenuity.
Yamal understands: goals, thank God, no goals, no problem, the important thing is that you believe and try. In order for Yamal to continue to shine with Barca, what Barca must do is know when he should be played and when he shouldn’t.
When should it be replaced, and when should it be a starter. And most importantly, don’t play it continuously to avoid serious injury. This reflects Xavi’s decisions which are sometimes difficult to understand.
Vitor Roque and Joao Felix, for example. Entered in crucial minutes of the second half in the match that has passed, even though they clearly needed it from earlier. Raphinha, once in very poor performance, but Xavi still didn’t replace him.
