I don’t know what you were doing when you were 16 but right now Lamine Yamal is setting the world on fire at one of the world’s biggest clubs. A goal for Spain, a regular at Barcelona with concerns less about his talent than load management, and just recently a goal. A goal in la liga that will continue to send his star into the stratosphere.
It’s hard to tell where a player like Yamal will end up. What is tantalizing though, is that with this kind of start he could end up anywhere. He has shown the ability beyond his years reminiscent of the chosen few that have become the games very best. The eyes, and the pressure, will now be on him, and will be tough, but with the speed at which Yamal has risen, who would bet against him.
Much Love,
The Zealand

I remember Aguero being called the new Messi when Messi was about 20 and Aguero was 19 😂
Aguero didn't know who messi was until they played together in the national team
@@shahir1395They were like 18 when they met in the U20s team
😂😂😂😂
J
Hopefully he doesn't end up like Bojan due to the expectations. Let them youngsters grow naturally and do not force titles upon them that cannot be fulfilled by their inexperience. All the best for him though... Indeed seems to be a great deal
Bojan KRKRKCrack oh my knee…
Before you know it he’s moved to cold windy Stoke City 😂😂😂
Yeah
Bro i got a guy named lamine kane from spain on my madrid youth team like wtf. The same height and skin color too.
@@lukasmikael-oz6ke of course you do. lol
@@shahir1395 crazy thing i got 3 players that plays like musiala, enzo and juliam alvarez too at the same window
Actually, Moriba was given a path to the first team (he was actually consistently a part ahead of Riqui Puig at the time) but he or his agent just wanted more money than Barcelona offered him which led to his departure.
Xavi Simons would be a better example
@@DontAttme At least when Xavi Simons left, Barcelona did not have the culture of playing super young players. And he wanted faster development. On hindsight Xavi would have become a regular at present barca. Moriba was in the first team dynamics and he left.
yall can still turn to Christ God bless
@@caleb.9the Devil has taken you
@@willywonka7812 it aint a joke He's real
I'm from Singapore and fun fact Geylang the football team that Zealand wears was recently bought over by THE City Football group, and they have started investing in scouting and recruitment with players from other teams in the CFG family. Never thought I would see A city team in Southeast Asia but yea😌
Is Home Fc still a thing?
@@theqaz1828they are now called Lion City Sailors!
@@wilfredvonkarma funky (cool) team names 😂
City is everywhere if you look for it ,in 10 years almost every country will have a team owned by cfg .
Who do you support?
The biggest issue will definitely be load control. As mentioned briefly with Pedri as an example, if players start playing in the first team with first team schedules early on, while their bodies are still developing, they might end up injured regularly, eventually shortening their career lifespan. Possibly even never realising their full potential.
Bolocks, Bellingham is 20 playing every week and has been for years
If they're as good as everyone says they'll make it
@@michaeldeeping2452It's not really about skill lol starting a teenager in 60 games a season or whatever like Pedri did is a big risk to the longevity of their career.
And you think 20 years old isn't a world of difference from 16 years old?
Leandro Damião was supposed to be a world beater but because he played so much as a teenager for the first time, his legs were obliterated. It is backed by science, why do you think Jack Wilshire became so injury prone? he was 18-19 playing almost every match for Arsenal and then played almost every match for England. IIRC Wilshire once played like 60 games in a season.
There is a reason why so many wonderkids, ones that start in the first time from a young age, like Leandro Damião, Václav Kadlec and dozens more. It is too dangerous to play kids that are still growing and developing, It's a factor as to why so many of them fall, the injuries catch up. It's not about underachieving their potential, It's about their body. And with even more games being added next season through the new (imo terrible) UCL Format that turns it into a league so UEFA can grab more money through big matches, you'll see a massive increase in player injuries. @@michaeldeeping2452
And when Bellingham was 16-17 at Birmingham, he only played 40 games over the course of 2 and a half seasons. Compare it again to Jack Wilshire who at 18 played 49 games for Arsenal and 4 matches for England. You'll notice that after that season in 10/11 Wilshire became haunted by Ankle and Knee Injuries.
@@MrJorge3010aren't teenagers the best age for playing that much?
2020:"Barcelona is finished!"
La Masia:And i took that personally
I can't wait to see him in FM24 , what a wonderkid!
You missed a key part of Yamal glow up that was the game against Spurs in our friendly's he showed us that he's special at that match
I’m a neutral but yep great comment that’s when I realised he’s god given talent
Watching him, he looks very comfortable, it's hard to see him falling off without injuries
Remember watching the u-17 final in person in Malta and thinking that one of these players will become something great. :)
Moriba was a regular in the first team and already earning twice as much as his youth peers. Dude got super greedy that's it.
and look how his career went downhill lmao
Thank you Zealand for supporting Geyland by buying a shirt. I’m from Singapore and am pretty sure the only people who own the kit here are their players 🙏🏻
Him and Kendry Paez are the real deal chelsea got a generational talent
I used this vid for a spanish project thank you zealand
Imagine Barca can loan Messi during the winter transfer window. I´d love to see Yamal play with Messi on the same team for the rest of the season. This would remind me of the time when Messi played with Ronaldinho.
Zealand says that he's not slowing down, but it's only been like 15 games that he's played max. The "slow down" always comes.
It's going to come for the best player in the world rn Jude Bellingham. As it came for Haaland.
Owned my idol Smellingham 😭
Well, hasn’t happened yet
@@_Xypes_ what are you talking about? He's already ghosting in some games rn. The most recent game against Cadiz he was as useless and a moldy sock lmao
@@Luis-kv8zc we clearly did not see the same game
Zealand I have small suggestion about 'posting time'. Try to 'fit' them about 4PM CEST (Poland time). With that people from London, Berlin, Paris, Rome etc. will have those yt notifications when they finish job/school. In same time Aussies are still 'up' so they can watch videos before going to sleep and even people in Los Angeles are already 'up' and starting a new day. It's like a 'perfect' scenario for everyone.
No one cares about Poland.
I am still disappointed that when Zealand gave every nation a Messi the NXGN list did not describe every player as the next Messi.
love the kit Zealand
Lamine seems better then bojan to me he’s way more confident the way he toys. With defenders sometimes twice his age
The way he took a sht mid game and left is unique
thught u said something else there
He is the player who looks most similar to Saka in modern football. You never know if they are going to invert or not, they are always waiting for the opponent to make a slight move and then break off, have decent vision and can shoot with power, not accuracy. ( these last 2 only apply to Lamine).
Both Saka and Lamine Pamal dont lace Bellinghams shoes 🥱
He reminds me more of Mahrez. The first touch, adept at both feet, comfortable inverting and staying wide.
@@mynamejeff4683yamal is literally 16💀where was bellingham at 16
@@rayansharma2042
That is not the problem, the problem is where Yamal will be at 20. In Brighton? Maybe Mallorca?
@@pafoneto1275or maybe he could still be at Barcelona being a success. Us fans could go years assuming the career a player can have, but that doesn’t mean we know unless you’re God himself.
Never thought i would see Zealand wearing a Geylang international FC jersey! singapore represent
Impressive player
7:50 actually no
They gave the standing ovation for Joaquin who retired after tha game
Cool and then he got a standing ovation from villarral fans this season.
Yeah
@@yerodiallo3609 the commentator literally said he was gonna retire after that match
And that was his final match vs Barcelona at Camp Nou
@@mdswinner9290 I said villareal and obviously udk what you are saying cause afformentioned joaquin plays for betis.
The fact that I knew of this guy a couple months before his debut for the first team makes me feel so smart
Yeah Me too.Dont even know why
Fun fact about this video: Zealand pronounces Jordi's name with the 'J' sound when it should have been the 'RR' sound (because that's a Spanish thing to do) and pronounced Jorge Mendes the other way around (when the 'RR' is not a thing when portuguese people want to say 'J'). In fact, for the portuguese, Jorge is said (almost) the same way as the English 'George'.
I'm catalan and his pronunciation of "Jordi" and "Puig" are almost perfect. The "Puig" really surprised me for how good it sounds.
Puig, or Cesc😂, seem difficult to pronounce even for spaniards.
6:05 wrong. Barca trusted Iliax and Koeman LOVED him but he wanted a bigger salary from the one Barca offered him so they let him go
Thanks for wearing a Singapore football club jersey, Geylang International
GEYLANG INTERNATIONAL JERSEY SPOTTED ‼‼‼
He will disappoint
Half of it for me with these youngsters that don't get to complete superstar level is just that they got to their level much quicker than everyone around them but they just stayed at that level, whereas you assume that if they're at this level at this age, then what will they be like in 10 years? But some just stay that same level for their career and are labelled a bust just because they didn't get any higher than their ceiling
geylang fc stadium is in Bedok but they move to tampines hub due to lack of var
I’m genuinely rooting for lamine
How many talents can Barcelona keep to produce? It’s insane… how many managers at a top level? Like there’s no guarantee that players can become good managers, still that’s a handful from Barcelona… hell even Laudrup, for what it’s worth, punched above his weight with the team he managed. Is this just the legacy Cruyff? I think it is.
Barcelona has a large network of scouts throughout the country and they also offer a study plan and housing to players who live far from Barcelona. My friend lives 2 hours from Barcelona and for 3 years they offered him studies, training, shoes and living in La Masia...training players from a young age and creating true talents is Cruyff's legacy
there are 2 key component that separate talented player and great player, Discipline and Injuries.
The hype is real
The golden boy ended the season with 24g/a and euro is still left
La Másia 😭, dude it is la Masía
My bets are on yet another overplayed youth who becomes injury prone by 20
no need to be so optimistic
no need to be so witty
Bet you are fun at parties 😂
Honestly Barca is handling Yamal well he has been hyped but not too much his rise is also not too rapid like Fati he is progressing slow and steady like Messi
You're right, I remember in the time of Munir or Deulofeu how with every pass that the journalists gave they went crazy, I remember that the same thing happened with Jese in Madrid and his comparison with Ronaldo
0:03 no its you go play left back.
So this kid is the football equivalent of Connor Bedard. Good for him!
Nothing to do with the video, but since I started to play FM23 not long ago (got it for free from amazon) I have a question, why the scout rating on my players are shown in numbers and not in letters like everyone else's, I tried to find some tweak option in preferences or in the scout center and nothing, or I am too idiot to see it.
I hope they learn fom Ansu Fati and Pedri
his legs will be gone by 22 knowing xavi
WE SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT HACKIM MASTOUR, RELAX
Except Lamine Yamal started a match for Spain at 16 while Mastour didn't even make his professional debut before 17, and he already was a bust, just playing 11 matches for AC Milan's U19.
At least, he already made far better than Mastour.
❤💙
make a one on of Julian Hall
Ok. To be fair! Part of the reason he's starting for Barcelona at such a young age and with such frequency, is because the club is in a dire financial crisis and is relying heavily on its academy.
While we are in financial trouble that's got nothing to do with it. His appearances have been on his merit and nothing more.
@@Sasquatch10not really, compare the Barca side of 05/06 to the Barca side of today, Yamal wouldn't have had a look in with the 05/06 just as many other talented graduates didnt
@@brendanrodgers9753You can also compare it with Barcelona 2008/2011 when 70% of the team was from the academy
imgine if the future of Barcelona would have been Fati injury-less and Yamal
There is no other Messi, but hr can go far
weird being so early
I'm glad to see the channel is doing pure football content again
When did it not?
Geylang👌
Remember Freddy Adu
Why Geylang International though?
He looks like a regen in the thumbnail
6:08 it’s pronounced Ilaish
That kid was the phenomenon in the recent U-17 Euros in Hungary. Painful for him when his country was denied by the French, who were simply far more superior than Spain but he was then considered too good to be ignored.
If you want to deny Lamine Yamal, you can ask France on how they smashed Spain and Yamal's ability.
Messi scored 500+ goals by 11 in the Argentine ,,Nwels Old Boys" before he was noticed by Barcelona, he has no rivals.
Sounds like another Bojan Krkiç to me
Bojan won 3 leagues, a league title, and 2 UCL's.
Yeah yeah ansu fati was too 🤛
indian...
la messia is a good academy
Until he does it I think he will slowly burn out. Expectations are put on too early, realistically he hasn't done much since being brought into the first team. He should actually develop 1 or 2 more seasons in younger teams. Too many professionals burn out and get crushed by early expectations.
One other thing you failed to mention is, the reason why he is playing so much. It is not cause he is good or have potential, whicb he is and has. It is cause of injuries and red cards. Raphina out, Lewansdowski out (making Ferran Torres the only Centre Forward), leaves Barça no other choices in the right side other than him.
Why is he as barca🤣🤣 wanna sign him in fm24
Cannot wait for the kid to play in Saudi Arabia...
(joke btw)
A video about The City Group
Can't wait until im giving health and diet plans to 6 year olds in football manager
Just broke another record ! Youngest player to ever lose in a Classico 🔥 🔥
If everything works out for this kid, he's gonna be like Pelé
Yes, just like the other millions of players that could be "the new Pelé"...
@@pafoneto1275 "IF everything works out"
@@Pedro-jy2jg Everyone said that for all of these "new Pelé". That is my point.
He's is Thierry Henry's heir
I just hope he never wears number 10
Barca doing Barca stuff :D
Masía, not Másia (intonation in the i)
Mbappe is a good example of how a Wonderkid should be developed...close eye from his family and coaches made sure he didn't join Madrid or Chelsea which would have significantly hampered his development... Monaco was the perfect fit, believe it or not Ligue 1 was perfect for him.
Every year we hear about the next “wonder kid” who is coming from Barcelona. Then he gets injured, rushed back and the fans start calling him a failure.
Football
Please don't call him next messi
We are scared 😭
Next Messi number 2847573 😭😭😭😭
One can only wish it goes great for the kid, but it's sad to see the predatory ways of Jorge Mendes at work since a really young age. Mendes should be baned from football, that dude is a cancer and 8/10 times fucks up everything he touches. (See Valencia and Wolves for blatant displays of clubs where Mendes had a huge influence over)
Hey, give some more respect to Luka Romero. Kid still is very, very good.
as a madrid fan, this kid scares me. but not too much, because barça are (from an unbiased pov) never fail to destroy the confidence and form of these young men
You know there are only a handful of players that barca sometimes destroy
And they make a lot of players from avg to world class
Yea, Ansu Fati had been average. But cmon, Pedri from a random team in Spain for 5 mil to one of the best young midfeilders, Araujo and Gavi etc are class now, Yeah 16 is too young, but this kid looks like the best talent in the world rn.
Not everyone can have an impeccable track record when it comes to fostering their own youth players like Real Madrid. How many of their players went through their academy? Is it one or two?
@@jga7887 barça need him right now, NEEDING A 16 year old at this level is outright irresponsible. he’s their best RW, and that’s not bc he’s that good, they just don’t have another that’s quality. being a club like barça that’s outright irresponsible
Araujo, Balde, Gavi, Lamine, and now Fermin are all key players that have come from the academy. Name any top club that has so many key players come from the academy, i don't think you can. Just because every single youth prospect that plays for the first team doesn't go on to be a regular doesn't mean they're a failure, in fact we produce more top flight players than almost every club in the world and certainly more than madrid.
Don't forget the best team of all time the following players were from the academy: Valdes, Puyol, Pique, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta. Where are Madrids?
No one will ever reach to Messi’s level, people will probably forget about this kid in the future
if i was real madrid, i would sign a random guy from the 3rd division, and only play him against Barca. On that game, the 3rd division player would have only 1 job - Take out Lamine. The player would be banned or suspended for a long time, but it didn't matter, since it was part of deal.
It`s just another Ansu Fati, Bojan story. Let these guys get to games where they can fail before praising them. Messi isn`t Messi because he was so good when he was young, he is Messi because he played his entire career as a top 2 player of all times.
Say this after 4 good seasons. And stop this foolishness. Barca has a lot more trouble to worry about than just finding another "wonder kid" to jazz over.
salty he doesn't play for your team? Barca won la liga last season lol, they are in financial troubles but it's not that bad
You commented this six months ago. How about now, don't you think he'll make it?
Another Ansu Fati
Alot of Barcelona players are a product of its system. The greatest of all is Messi, once they leave Barcelona they struggle e.g Messi (Psg) Pedro(Chelsea)and Bojan (many clubs). Messi knew he wouldn't have the success if he leaves Barca, only 2 teams can play his style is Arsenal and Man City and score 40+ goals.
Argentina plays a completely different style of football and messi succeeded. And he was past his prime when he went to psg. Pedro didn't struggle at chelsea. He scored at a similar rate in both Chelsea and barca.
@Tom-dn6zy Messi or Di Maria is the catalyst of Argentina, in 3 Copa America finals he choke, the last one Di Maria save his ass Messi was pathetic. WC cup finals again Di Maria was the main guy the driving force of Argentina. There is a difference between Messi in Argentina and Barcelona . Messi passed his prime 😆, he scored 48 goals in his last season with Barcelona before joining Psg that's couple of months apart. Don't give me that excuse
@@mauricewilliams3478 if you're gonna talk all cocky atleast get your facts right. He scored 38 goals in his last season at barca which was a massive drop off so his decline had already started. And he went to psg which was mbappe's team unlike barca where he carried most of the load. 2 best players award, 1 golden boot and 1 silver boot at copa americas. 2 best players at world cups. He was the best player in the wc finals, was involved in all the goals and scored in extra time. Messi was far better than di Maria in international competions and its not even close. If you have the guts name me your favorite player and we'll see how he stacks up against messi. I have a feeling who it will be😂
Bro you have so much hair under your jersey
you can still turn to Christ God bless yall
fuck christ
Amen
Hopefully he doesnt end up like the last 5 barca "prodigies" and end up on loan at brighton
Yamine Lmao
Am I First🤨
No I'm not😢
You are
Apparently he's 19 atm not 16
First! Now give me loans!
I hate "wonderkids". It is a stupid term. If you have multiple wonderkids every year, than non of them is a wonderkid - by definition.
In every Generation, you will always have great players who are the best of their generation.
This dude can get a ACL fracture nex week and end up having a mediocer career ending up playing for Elche after failing in the several number one clubs.
Or he wont get a injury next week and will be a Messi. Or a Nani. Or maybe even just a Bojan
you must be fun at parties
only true z fans were the first 4 comments...
Marc Guiu is gonna be another
Algorithm
Since Messi left there has been this "Yong Player breaking record to be the youngest and no where to be seen"
If Barcelona wouldn't be in such stage i bet these 16/17 would not get a chance". So hyping them at that age is stupid.
