Van Bommel Says Yamal Is Better Than 17-Year-Old Messi
Ex-Bayern Munich star Mark van Bommel has boldly claimed that Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal is ahead of Lionel Messi at the same age. Speaking with Voetbalzone, Van Bommel said Yamal is doing far more at 17 than Messi did when he first broke into Barcelona’s senior team.
“In Messi’s early days with the first team, he didn’t play as many matches as Yamal is playing now,” the Dutchman explained. “For that reason, at 17, Yamal is better.” However, Van Bommel made it clear there’s still a long way to go for the young Spaniard if he wants to be anywhere near Messi’s legendary status.
“Messi has stayed at the top for twenty years, which is unbelievable,” he said. “If Yamal hopes to match Messi’s goal record, he’ll need to bag around 500 more. That’s nearly 30 goals every season.” Van Bommel, who also played for AC Milan, praised Yamal’s potential but admitted he isn’t the best in the world yet. “He’s not the best right now, but he’s definitely on the right path.”
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
