Edu Aguirre warns Culers about Lamine Yamal, there's a big problem: 'Too much...'

The journalist believes that it is a double-edged sword to show oneself with such arrogance because it sets the bar very high

Edu Aguirre has reignited the debate in Spanish soccer. The journalist referred to Lamine Yamal, Barça's great gem, and issued a clear warning to the culé fans. According to him, the young striker may be taking a dangerous path at just 18 years old.

"Lamine has more to lose than to gain by making these gestures," he stated on El Chiringuito. He was referring directly to the player's attitude after proclaiming himself "the king" in a gesture that hasn't gone unnoticed.

Aguirre's warning

For Aguirre, what Yamal is doing is "too much." He explains it with a very direct example: "At 18 years old and with only one good season at the top level, he's already proclaiming himself the king. When he achieves what Vinícius has done, what's he going to do?"

The panelist believes that the Barça footballer is at high risk of burning out too soon. The media pressure, the comparison with already established stars, and the constant need to deliver on the field can become a serious problem.

"At 18 years old, proclaiming himself the king... it's too risky," Aguirre insisted, convinced that the blaugrana environment should control these attitudes better.

Barça's jewel has had a spectacular season, with performances that have captivated the fans. His confidence, speed, and quality have made him one of the biggest prospects in European soccer.

However, the star label so soon can turn against him. Aguirre recalled that footballers like Vinícius, who are now global references, have had to overcome years of criticism, whistles, and doubts before reaching the top.

The journalist doesn't question Yamal's talent, but rather how his image is being managed. "He's an unbelievable footballer, but he's still just starting out. He can't put that kind of pressure on himself so soon," he emphasized.

Open debate in Barcelonism

Edu Aguirre's words have divided the fans. For some, Lamine has the right to show ambition and believe in himself. For others, the warning makes sense: his environment must be protected and soccer should speak for him.

The truth is that Yamal is already living under the spotlight. Every gesture, every celebration, and every word are analyzed in detail. Edu Aguirre made it clear: "At his age, it's better to talk less and play more."

The future will tell whether this warning comes true or if Lamine Yamal answers the criticism with goals and soccer.
