According to official Barcelona data, this season, the 17-year-old Yamal has grown by 2 cm, reaching 180cm, and has gained 6 kilograms to 72 kilograms.

Two centimeters per year, the tall winger has taken shape

Last season, Yamal's height increased by 2.5 cm, and his weight increased by 7 kilograms. Although the increase this season has declined, the trend of this kid's move towards a tall winger is inevitable.

In order to adapt to the changes around Yamal, the Barcelona coaching team has formulated a dynamic strength training plan for him, controlling his body fat rate and ensuring flexibility, while increasing his muscles and improving his ability to fight. From Yamal's recent performance on the court, we can see that Barcelona's special training plan is still very effective.

It is not easy to learn from Messi, it is very smart to transform early

From the sudden appearance at the end of last season, to the praises of thousands of people in the European Cup, to the fact that it is now pushing Barcelona to the peak of the "triple crown", Yamal has been compared with Messi countless times in the past year. This is an honor and a pressure.

When the wing assaulter is over 1.75 meters tall, the breakthrough success rate will decrease due to the high center of gravity and insufficient pace frequency. Palmer's experience in the Manchester City echelon has already explained it all. If Yamal's height continues to grow, he must consider transforming as early as possible, just like Ronaldo and Bale.

Yamar will not be able to pursue the bottom, and he can send a good ball by seeing the opportunity, and the "side-to-side midfielder" attribute is becoming more and more obvious.

Since suffering consecutive injuries in the early stage of this season, Yamal, under the instruction of Frick and Delafuent, has begun to shift his playing style from "winter" to "front midfielder". Facing Dimarco and Mkhitaryan with average defensive ability in this game, Yamal did not deliberately pursue the bottom, but flashed out of the space and sent a cross as soon as possible. This move not only avoids the risk of injury caused by frequent breakthroughs, but also helps to encourage teammates to participate in the terminal unlocking process. There is no limit to the technical level. The leader's temperament is initially developed. While strengthening strength and confrontation training, Yamal has adopted a dual-track growth model. The successful experiences of Ronaldo and Messi are integrated by him. It is admirable to have such an awareness at the age of less than 18. In addition to seeking continuous improvement at the technical level, Yamal is also ready to become a new generation of Lamacia elite leader, which can be seen from his helping Fati get a chance to play and his speech after the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals that the leader temperament of this "children" may be ahead of the "King of Football".
