Lamine Yamal's noisy game: lesson and criticism

El Clasico concluded with great hype at the "Santiago Bernabeu". "Real Madrid" won with a score of 2:1.

However, more attention was paid to Lamine Yamal than to the match itself. Spain's youngest and noisiest footballer performed below expectations in this game.

"Real's" defense completely took Lamine out of the game: no dribbling, no accurate shots, no effective actions – all of his statistics were zero. Before the Clasico, Lamine's activity on social media drew attention.

He attracted attention with statements accusing "Real," videos reminding of old goals, and other provocative actions. But when he took to the field, this hype turned against him.

Dani Carvajal criticized Lamine at the end of the match with a gesture meaning "talk less." Vini Junior simply said, "You talk too much."

This game should be a lesson for Lamine. For a young talent to reach the top, not only his performance on the pitch, but also his behavior off the field is important.

Many experts and fans in Spain criticize that Lamine's personal brand is overshadowing his football. At this age, it’s easy to become a star with 114 games, 28 goals, and 39 assists, but maintaining this dominance is even more difficult.

Now the time has come for Lamine to make a choice: does he want to be the star of the next decade or remain just a one-week meme? On the road to success, it’s important to understand that results on the field matter more than noise.

The match in Madrid once again proved that elite footballers pay attention not to hype, but only to genuine skill. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
