100 games have been played at the age of 17! Behind the phenomenon of Yamal: The hidden worries of overdraft

Barcelona 17-year-old star Yamal emerged and quickly became the focus of football. However, behind the praises, a worrying question also surfaced: Will the overly intensive schedule overdraw the potential of this talented teenager?

In the Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan, Yamal ushered in his 100th game for Barcelona, ​​an amazing achievement. But at the same time, people are starting to worry about whether such a high-intensity game will have a negative impact on his growth.

The genius was hard to hide

Yamar once again showed his amazing talent in this game. He broke through Inter Milan's defense line with his own strength and scored an amazing goal.

"Daily Sports Daily" praised: "Yamar is the embodiment of the future superstar of football!" He has continuously set new records: the youngest player in Barcelona's history, the youngest goal-scoring player in La Liga, the youngest goal-scoring player in the Champions League knockout stage, and the youngest player in the Spanish national team to play and score.

This season, Yamal contributed 14 goals and 12 assists in the La Liga, and twice assisted in the final of the Copa del Rey, helping Barcelona beat Real Madrid to win the championship.

In the Champions League, Yamal still showed extraordinary strength against the experienced Inter Milan. Not only is he outstanding in technology, he also has maturity and calmness beyond his age.

The risk of overdraft

Barcelona is expected to win the triple crown this season, which makes Yamal's playing time inevitably increase. However, sports medicine expert Wei Haiyan warned: "For a 17-year-old player, playing 50 games a year will cause serious damage to his body."

The lessons of the past are vivid in the past

This season, Yamal has played 30 times in La Liga, 10 starts in the Champions League, with a total of 49 appearances, and a total of more than 4,000 minutes. In addition, he also represented the Spanish national team in the European Cup and UEFA Nations League matches, and received little rest.

Barcelona has learned lessons from the fall of many young players due to excessive overdrafts. Pedri is a typical example. He played up to 73 games in the 2020/21 season, which eventually led to injuries and decline in form.

In order to protect Yamal, Barcelona must carefully arrange his playing time to avoid repeating the same mistakes. We want to see him shine for a long time, rather than passing through the football world like a meteor.
