FC BARCELONA' plan to TRANSFORM Lamine YAMAL into a BEAST 😱
Lamine Yamal has done it again!
The 16-year-old carries Barcelona in the title race and keeps them there!
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE!
Generational talent is being born before our eyes!
His progress is unfolding at a frantic pace! Back in May last year, we saw a really skinny guy and it seemed that his development at Barca would not be so fast!
Now he is a real leader of the team, who feels confident in himself and has significantly improved his physical abilities! Just look at this young monster!
Lamine, at the age of 16, has some amazing stats for Barca's first team: 36 matches, 5 goals and 7 assists in the ongoing season. Fantastic! Even Lionel Messi did not have such success at the same age!
But this rapid progress is not just natural - it's hard work, both by the club and by the prodigy himself! Mundo Deportivo journalist Fernando Polo in the TOP SECRET section has written a special plan that the mega talent at Barca follows and we are happy to share it with you!
Yamal's priority for this season was to gain muscle mass - in elite football, you have to be able to withstand physical challenges and be strong on your feet. So, since the beginning of the season, Lamine has gained 7 kg of muscle mass! And now compare Yamal's "physicality" at the end of last season and now - two different players in terms of their abilities! You can see that the guy has become more "wiry"!
‘Those 7 kilos of muscle mass are due to the physical growth he has experienced since the start of this season and also to the fact that, thanks to a strength plan implemented by the club, he has reduced his body fat to a minimum and has put on a significant amount of muscle’, - Fernando Polo writes about this effect.
Lamine, like all first-team players, received his individual fitness plan before the start of the season. It was a detailed plan developed by the coaching staff for the most "special" first-team player, who is in a phase of growth - both physically and mentally. The plan focused on increasing the player's physical strength, which was intended to strengthen the young man's ability to compete with La Liga players and win tackles. A separate point is the development of speed characteristics and adaptation to the pace of the top Spanish division - before that, Yamal played only in the youth and third Spanish division as a Barca Athletic member.
Of course, the calculations of physical activity were equivalent to the player's age and weight - but in general, the exercises and training techniques were the same as those of his teammates.
Nowadays, Lamine is growing rapidly not only on the football pitch but also literally - he has gained 10 cm in height in a year:
"Lamine spends more minutes on the pitch than he should at his age. He has grown 10 cm over the past year. I have a son his age, I know what I'm talking about. Lamine is a special player, he enjoys it," - La Vanguardia quoted Barcelona sporting director Deco.
That is, now the boy is in the phase of active growth of everything: bones, muscles, organs - and therefore Barcelona need to be as careful as possible in the use of their top talent!
An important factor is Lamine's ability to cope with the stress that haunts literally all of Barca's first-team players - a big club, big expectations, and therefore players are not allowed to fail - mental issues can cause a lot of damage, which can lead to physical injuries. In this aspect, Yamal lives up to his reputation as a prodigy - ready for big challenges even at the age of 16! Children grow up so fast! Bravo, Lamine!
Friends, put a like if you are impressed with Lamine Yamal's game and are a Barcelona fan!
Before the start of the season, Barcelona set a goal to strengthen the boy's lower and upper body - that is, legs, body and arms - and it is worth noting the significant progress during the season: in the second half of the campaign, Yamal looks more confident - especially the progress of the young man became noticeable in February, when the number of minutes increased and he gained optimal conditions - for example, in the last 4 La Liga games, Lamine scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists - elite stats in a top club!
It is worth noting his second goal against Granada - here physicality was revealed in all its glory - a short run, a power tackle and instant decision-making + a powerful shot! This is a real MONSTER, not a 16-year-old first-team debutant! And the goal against Mallorca is the pinnacle of the player's individual self-confidence - he picked up Lewandowski's pass, flicked the opponent to one side, then quickly turned in the opposite direction and scored into the far top corner - while at the beginning of the season such maneuvers failed and were inaccurate, now it is clear how much Lamine has added in speed and physics - Barca have a new powerful weapon that can turn the tide of the match at any time!
