Football fans worry Yamal will go astray if he 'dates' Neymar.

Seventeen-year-old superstar Lamine Yamal has caused many to worry about his future, as he has repeatedly revealed negative information about his life off the pitch.

Yamal's private life is too tumultuous.

When Yamal began to rise to prominence after Euro 2024, former football legend Jorge Valdano warned: "A boy who is only 17 years old but is already facing the spotlight across Europe. Fame that comes too early is sometimes a double-edged sword. He hasn't even reached adulthood yet."

Indeed, over the past six months, Yamal has often annoyed the football world with his rather arrogant attitude.

Before the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, the young Barca star said: "As long as I win, they can't say anything."

In addition, Yamal often made somewhat arrogant statements after each victory, especially after the "El Clásico" matches against Real Madrid.

In any case, for a 17-year-old boy, Yamal deserves understanding for his statements, made in moments when he sometimes couldn't control his emotions.

But recently, this football prodigy has started to worry fans about his life off the pitch.

In his posts about hanging out with friends, the 17-year-old star often posts pictures of himself eating and drinking excessively, including many fried foods and sugary drinks... These are considered inappropriate foods for professional athletes.

In addition, his love life is quite complicated. In just one year, Yamal dated three different women, all older than him. Most recently, Yamal dated a girl 13 years older than him, who is also a celebrity on the controversial social media site OnlyFans.

Not only that, a few days later, Yamal was also caught up in rumors of a romantic relationship with an adult film actress.

Impulsive statements, excessive eating and drinking, and a complicated love life—these are clearly signs of something not to be seen in a young player.

Yamal should learn from Messi.

Sports psychologist Patricia Ramírez, who has worked with many players in La Liga, warns: "At this age, players are very easily influenced by flattery, money, and freedom. Without a solid management system, it's easy to fall into a reckless lifestyle, affecting both performance and character."

Meanwhile, fans unleashed a torrent of anger on the 17-year-old star. "Yamal is too showy, too arrogant, he needs to learn humility," one user on X said.

Another person commented: "Yamal should learn from Messi's exemplary lifestyle; that's how football geniuses avoid getting bogged down."

Gerard Pique, the legendary Barcelona center-back, once said the following about Yamal: "I have a feeling that, if it were in our generation, Yamal would most likely not have been included in the team."

It wasn't exactly a criticism, but Pique was clearly implying that Yamal's behavior was completely opposite to that of his generation, which included players who always maintained a humble attitude like Messi, Iniesta, Fabregas...

When Yamal was 15 and had just been promoted to the first team, Barca sent a team of psychologists to support him. With a team accustomed to producing young talents like Barca, they are always ready to protect them.

However, Yamal's rapid rise to fame seems to have exceeded even Barca's expectations. Historically, players who have come through La Masia rarely find themselves in tabloid headlines regarding their love lives or partying.

There's a very clear precedent at Barca, and that's Neymar. But the Brazilian superstar didn't come through La Masia.

Yamal is only 17 years old, an age that could evoke sympathy, but also a worrying age if he were to truly go astray.
