Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Villarreal fans were clapping Lamine Yamal as he was subbed off.
Yamal was arguably one of the best players on the pitch and yet some Cules believe he shouldn’t start for Barca.
Here’s why.
🗣El_programmente: “I don’t think he should play more than 30 minutes, kid is 16, his body is not even fully developed yet..I’m deeply worried about injuries..”
🗣DanielSophoran: “At this point in his career the max he should be getting is 20 mins at the end of the game.Its not good for his body”
🗣ApoQais: “Please don’t run that kid into the ground Xavi”
🗣Tam_er_lan: “Xavi wants to show us he found Messi regen but it’s just too risky fielding him against sides like Getafe or Cadiz”
Barcelona Manager Xavi Hernandez has not been short of bravery in blooding young talents during his time in charge, and it has paid off early on against Villarreal.
Following a corner, 16-year-old Lamine Yamal was once again at the heart of danger for the Blaugrana. His curling cross to the far post found 18-year-old Gavi, who powered a header back across goal and into the net.
