'When I first saw Messi...' Fabio Capello bluntly assesses Yamal's chances of succeeding Messi

Marca

Former England and two-time Real Madrid coach 

 will eventually reach the height set by 

"I found Messi at Gamper and 20-25 minutes into the game I approached Rijkaard and asked him to lend him to me that season. He was a genius," Capello said. 

"Lamine has a lot of quality and is very interesting, but he will not be a genius Messi, Pele and Maradona. They were the geniuses.

"Speaking of geniuses, I have forgotten one who could also enter: 

It's hard to agree with Capello here. Lamine has the world at his feet at 16 and could go on to become a legendary player. The signs are there for everyone to see although it's unfair to compare him with Messi.

Lamine Yamal has never told anyone he is aspiring to be another Messi, nor has anyone at Barca paraded him to be one.

We at Barca are very clear about this fact. We are only glad he is an exceptional player whom we pray for everyday that he will not only fulfill his potential but far exceed the limits set by some rivals.

the fact remains that, even messi was not scoring so much or assisting with much goals when he was this age. he had lots of prospects and potentials but was not scoring the goals in numbers. 
so pls cute the lad some slack. he is still growing and developing. 

the only challenge will be that; 1. he should watch his lifestyle. 2. choose his company(friends). 3. The food he eats. 4. he should train more and think about the previous games to set him for the games to come, just so that the mistake from the last game should help him be better in the next. 5. the national team should try giving him some time off, let what's happening to pedri not repeat on him. 

I see lamal doing well but not same as messi, Cos messi is messi and yamal is yamal.
thanks. visca Barca

No matter what he add, He can’t be MEssi, If you watch MEssi at his age he was a wind. Yamal will eventually win everything but will never get to that Messi’s beast mode level.

He has to add scoring and assists to his game and maturity then he will conquer his world. He doesn’t have to be another Messi

just delved into some research and got some stats about messi in his early days and yamal.

now messi at the age of 17 scored only 1 goal and had no assist
while yamal at the age of 16 scored 11 goals this season alone and registered 5 assists. for the club alone. he is not 17 yet. he still has alot to learn and develop. as I said before, he just need to watch some things and hope he avoid them. 

now , the point is not to prove that yamal is better or anywhere near messi. but just to say, we should desist from comparing him with someone he himself considers his idol and role model. 
Let's hope and pray he turns out to be a great player for our great and darling club. 
one love Barca. visca Barca
