Barcelona wary of their own talent

Lamine Yamal is living the most brilliant days of his 18th year: talent, fame and freedom. But it is also that fiery instinct and rebellion that makes Barcelona both admire and fear for their precious gem.

At 18, Lamine Yamal is the face of Barcelona, ​​the pride of La Masia and the new symbol of Spanish football. But it is his strong personality, arrogant instincts and vibrant life off the field that are making Barca's leadership wary.

Yamal is not just the best player of his generation - he is a phenomenon. His daring, fighting spirit and ability to turn a game in the blink of an eye set him apart.

Hansi Flick, Ronald Araujo and any team-mate would agree that Yamal trains hard, plays professionally and maintains the standards of a great player. “He works in training as he does in games – running, scoring goals, and never being lazy,” Araujo said. Flick was more gentle: “When he is here, he works hard. His private life is his business.”

But it is this “private life” that concerns Barcelona. Not because Yamal is dissolute or lacking in self-awareness, but because he is too young, too famous and too surrounded by people who can influence his every choice.

Social media has put Yamal in the spotlight, and he seems to enjoy it – from dancing with Nicki Nicole to blunt statements like the one comparing Porcinos FC to Real Madrid: “They cheat, they complain, they do things wrong.” A spontaneous, harmless image statement, but enough for Barca to realize: Yamal doesn’t know – or doesn’t want – to censor himself.

That’s what makes Yamal different. That instinct is a burning fire that burns all limits – the fire that made him a superstar at 18. But a fire that can also burn itself out if left unchecked. Barca know better than anyone: in a world where young talent is easily swept up in the spotlight, a small deviation can turn into a deep abyss.

So the club and his agent, Jorge Mendes, are keeping him in sight, not to restrain him, but to protect him. They know Yamal is not just a player, but a strategic asset, the “new Messi” that Catalan football has pinned its hopes on. And at 18, amid fame, money and countless temptations, Lamine Yamal still has to learn something that every young genius has to face: control the fire within himself.
