LAMINE YAMAL is a DIFFERENT BEAST under Hansi Flick... 🤯

Back when Hansi Flick had just been appointed as Barcelona's new manager, waves of memes about how he would pump up the Blaugrana players' physique were extremely viral. Check out this one for example!

Still, no one believed that changes would happen SO QUICKLY!

Here we have a phenomenal union, which already looks like the union of Pep Guardiola and Lionel Messi ahead of the 2008/09 campaign kickoff!

Lamine under Flick is a different beast who has no control and who is already threatening to become one of the contenders for the 2025 Ballon d'Or!

What a start it was! 5 appearances, 3 goals and 4 assists! Last season, he registered 5 goals and 7 assists. Do you feel what kind of monster Lamine could become at the end of the season... you can raise the bar to Leo Messi's numbers - 20+ goals and 20+ assists!

Hansi Flick's style of football perfectly suits Lamine - let's look at Yamal's most successful performance so far... against Girona, when he scored a brace!

Lamine is experiencing all the benefits of Flick's football philosophy on his own - he is not tied to the right-wing only, as he was under Xavi - you see, the Spanish boss demanded to make isolations for wingers, for them to be able to destroy defenders 1 vs 1. The German boss, on the other hand, prefers a more chaotic movement up front, where Yamal, like other wingers, is allowed to move inside - this can be done for the sake of ball possession, breaking into the central area behind the centre-backs, and so on...

The lad is using his unlimited arsenal: one-on-one duels, the ability to find and play with his teammates through passes, earn free-kicks in threatening zones, and most importantly, create chances and score! This sharp-attacking fluid football seems to have been made specifically for Yamal, and he is enjoying it!

Right now, everyone is noticing a significant leap in Yamal's physique - this was especially noticeable in the moment, that led to the first goal, when the whizkid stole the ball away from the burly David Lopez.

Well, his 'coldness' moments before the second goal makes people think that Yamal should be man-marked by at least two players at once - the guy is becoming 'ice cold' and if he keeps the same pace, he can easily score goals in bunches!

Interestingly enough, Yamal could have netted his first ever hat trick in this game, having masterfully handled this situation! Therefore, we should expect more to come!

The first conclusions for the season from the new leader of Barcelona are the INCREASE OF LAMINE YAMAL'S IMPACT on the Catalans results - now he is the most productive performer in Barça's attacking line and one of the best players in the world right now!

Among other things, the fans are noticing how much mature Lamine has become - he is no longer a boy and he can definitely stand up for himself!
This is what working with Hansi Flick does to a 17-year-old beast!

Barcelona are already working on a new contract for the prospect, which will include a significant salary increase, since Lamine is currently one of the first team's outsiders, receiving around €1.7 million. The club wants to show Yamal how valuable he is and will offer him a contract extension until 2030 with a gradual salary increase!

This way, the Spanish team is trying to protect itself from the annoyance of PSG, who have tried to take advantage of the Catalans' financial problems multiple times. In particular, according to the Marca newspaper, the Red and Blues have already offered 200 million euros, but both Barcelona and the footballer are not interested in this course of events.

Meanwhile, journalist Jota Jordi is already calling for the 2024 Ballon d'Or to be handed over to Lamine:

“Lamine Yamal deserves to win the Ballon d'Or this year, there is no player like him,” the journalist said.

“Bellingham in the last 6 months of La Liga and the Euros was horrendous and Vinícius in the Copa America, no need to even comment on it”.

Nevertheless, there is no chance of winning the Ballon d'Or right now, but next year, why not? Blaugrana are aiming to capture all available titles, they've had a phenomenal start to the season, while Lamine Yamal literally shines in Hansi Flick's new system! All the components are there to shock the football world in the 2024/25 campaign, so we see no obstacles for “Leo Messi's successor”!

Even Real Madrid legend Guti notes that Lamine Yamal now ranks among the top 3 best players in the world! Just imagine this level of quality - a 17-year-old boy rules La Liga, in which Mbappe plays, and is still considered one of the best players in the world! Even Messi didn't have such a career speedrun at the age of 17!
