Lamin Yamal confessed that he spent hours as a child learning Lilonel Messi's game, but not his game rhythms.
"I used to learn Messi's passes as a child. Other players made good passes, but Messi's were almost like goals. I always thought passing was more interesting than dribbling. He's smarter," Yamal said, according to Lent.az, citing foreign media.
Today he wears the number 10 shirt of "Barcelona" and has scored 7 goals and made 8 assists in 14 games this season.
Apparently, Messi's lessons have paid off.
