Holder of a Master's degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents' dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
At 17, Lamine Yamal followed in the footsteps of Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham by winning the Raymond Kopa trophy, supposed to reward the best young person of the year. The FC Barcelona player is establishing himself as one of the great talents of world Football. Qualities also spotted by PSG, who tried to recover him during the last transfer window.
According to the Spanish press, PSG planned to drop nearly €200 million to afford Lamine Yamal this summer. But this sum would never have been enough to recruit the young Spanish football prodigy, whose logo FC Barcelona is anchored in his heart. It was under the jersey of his training club that Yamal won the Raymond Kopa trophy for best youngster.
Yamal's father's eyes shine
During an interview given to France Football, his father very quickly detected something special in his son. “ I quickly understood that it was a star, that it was not a human being like the others. From a very young age, there was a ball in his stroller. He learned to kick a ball as well as walk. Then, he had fun dribbling our two dogs, confiscating the ball so as not to get it bitten. It is thanks to this that everything seemed easy to him when he started playing for a club around 3 and a half years old and then when he joined Barça at 6 years old. confided Mounir Nasraoui.
A Zidane-style destiny?
Since then, the youngSpluges de Llobregat grew up well. And his father no longer hesitates to compare him to the greatest like a certain Zinédine Zidane. « I always had faith in him, I constantly told my friends that he was going to become the best player in the world, that he was a pure diamond. He must remain the same, on and off the field, and have fun. Today he is a man. I told him that the other day and I couldn't hold back my tears. I wasn't surprised he was nominated for the Ballon d'Or, you've only seen 20% of what he can do. For me, he's a number 10, not a winger. He has the skill and mentality to play in the middle, behind the striker, like Zinédine Zidane. You will see. I rub my hands thinking about the Ballons d'Or he's going to win… » he declared.
