Thank God Yamal won't win the Ballon d'Or this year. First, he doesn't deserve it. Second, if he's already acting like this without winning one, imagine what his ego would look like after winning it in a season where he hasn't dominated the way he should. Nobody wants this kid to succeed at Barcelona and become a club legend more than I do. I've always believed in his talent, and I genuinely want him to reach the very top. However, the treatment he's receiving nowadays isn't doing him any favors. At 19 years old, you simply cannot spend entire games walking around while the other 10 players do all the dirty work for you, especially when you're dropping stinkers in the biggest matches. Diomande in El Clasico was a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Yes, he still has a lot to prove. Yes, he has achieved absolutely nothing compared to Yamal, and Yamal is 10 times more talented than him. But talent alone isn't enough. If you can't make the difference offensively in every game, then you have to contribute defensively. If the opposition is doing an excellent job shutting you down, then you need to show the same commitment when it's your turn to defend. We cannot keep having Diomande and Cucurella, with an additional midfielder constantly doubling up on Yamal, while our own right-back is getting absolutely cooked in 2v1 situations because Yamal doesn't want to track back. How is that fair to the rest of the team? This is on Flick too. Why should everyone else have to run twice as much to compensate for one player, especially when that player isn't even delivering offensively? This is a HUGE issue, and it has cost us dearly in our last two games and in every big game in the past 2 seasons. You cannot demand superstar treatment without accepting superstar responsibility. I want Yamal to become a Barcelona legend, but that doesn't mean he should be immune to criticism. He's 19, not 35. There's absolutely no excuse for that lack of defensive effort, regardless of how talented he is. That being said, it's still early in the season. We're still top of the league, and losing games now isn't the end of the world. In fact, I'd much rather see these problems exposed now so we have enough time to fix them before the biggest games of the season, especially the Champions League knockout rounds from March onwards. However, the most important thing is that we actually LEARN from our mistakes, unlike the last two seasons, when we kept repeating the same shit over and over again without fixing the underlying problems. Flick and the players need to wake up and take responsibility. Fix your shit! You have an entire week to prepare, analyze what went wrong, address these issues, and come back stronger. I want to see another winning streak, the same hunger, intensity, and mentality that made us so difficult to beat at the beginning of the season. Get us out of this hole before it becomes something much worse. There's still plenty of time to turn things around, but only if we stop making excuses and actually fix what's wrong.
