Juanma Rodríguez is clear that Lamine Yamal "shows promise," but he is extremely angry with the young FC Barcelona player for what he has been showing lately in front of the public. In an article published in 'LibertadDigital', the journalist has harshly and forcefully criticized him for declaring themselves as "the favorites" to win this edition of the Champions League.
Juanma Rodríguez Blasts Lamine Yamal
These words from Lamine Yamal have caused Juanma Rodríguez's anger, who has been forceful. "Imagine that Rodrygo is asked about the favorite team to win the Champions and he responds that the great, ahead of the rest, is Real Madrid," he began.
He didn't stop there, asking: "Imagine that Mbappé is asked why he doesn't score goals in the League and he responds that he only scores goals in important matches. Now open your eyes one last time and answer yourselves honestly, what would be said about Kylian Mbappé?"
In this regard, he continued: "Imagine that Vinícius, for example, leaves the field angry after being substituted in the 96th minute of a match, responds angrily to As or Marca, says that Real Madrid is the favorite to win the Champions, and, as the icing on the cake, ends up stating that he scores in important matches."
"Of Vinícius, it would be said that he is a brat and a spoiled child, of Endrick it would be assured that he is nobody to respond like that to the good ones of Maroto or José Félix, of Rodrygo it would be stated that he is conceited and of Mbappé it would be said that he is boastful, arrogant, and a brat who also generates anti-Madridism," he pointed out.
Juanma Rodríguez Points to the Famous Narrative
Juanma Rodríguez concluded: "I don't know if Lamine Yamal will become a megastar, the truth is the boy shows promise, but I don't know. I don't know if he will end up being, as we have all been convinced he has to end up being by force, the new Messi, that I don't know either."
"As Paul Valéry said, the problem of our times is that the future is no longer what it used to be. I don't know if he will mark a turning point in the history of world soccer... but what I am beginning to see is that he does believe he is destined to be the new Messi and to mark a turning point in history. That, at 17 years old, is a problem. Imagine that Vinícius stops following me because I say he has gone a hundred days without scoring in the League... What would be said about Vinícius? It's not even a matter of colors," Juanma Rodríguez concluded.
