Lamine Yamal premiered his ’10’ jersey against Vissel Kobe. Although he started, the player from Matar\u00f3 did not have his best day in Japan, where he played 45 minutes<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona had Lamine Yamal wearing the ’10’ on his back for the first time against Vissel Kobe. The 18-year-old player premiered his jersey in Japan<\/a>, but he was unable to unleash his usual magic and imbalance on the right despite starting for Hansi Flick’s team.<\/p>

And it is that the full-back Katsuya Nagato, using his experience and physical game, managed to minimize the impact of the Rocafonda player<\/strong> on the right. The 30-year-old defender opted for a man-to-man marking, clashing with Lamine to avoid giving him the spaces that the winger usually takes full advantage of.<\/p>

Discreet first half for Lamine Yamal against Vissel Kobe<\/h2>

Not in vain, in the 45 minutes he was on the field, Lamine was unable to complete any dribbles and barely won one of seven duels<\/strong>. Of course, the complicity of the referee Takafumi Mikuriya favored the locals, overlooking several clear fouls on the Bar\u00e7a star.<\/p>

Regarding ball movement, Yamal completed 16 of 19 passes (89%), with one chance created and a couple of recoveries.<\/strong> However, he was not sharp with his shots, taking three stray shots before the break.<\/p>

Beyond not having his best afternoon, the Matar\u00f3 native constantly asked for the ball on his wing<\/strong>, being the most dangerous forward of the cul\u00e9 offensive trident in the first 45 minutes. Hansi Flick opted for Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez and Raphinha to accompany Ferran Torres in the area.<\/p>

However, none of them were particularly sharp before the break. Eric Garc\u00eda was in charge of opening the scoring in the 33rd minute<\/a>, while Lamine and Raphinha generated their best opportunities with shots from the edge of the area.<\/p>

After the break, Flick put Roony Bardghji in his place. Despite not shining in Kobe, Yamal made history by becoming, at 18 years and 14 days old, the youngest footballer to wear the club’s ’10’ jersey<\/strong> in an official first-team match. <\/p>

Lamine Yamal hopes to be at his best for the match against Mallorca<\/h2>

Now, Bar\u00e7a and its great star will have a few hours of rest before traveling to South Korea on Tuesday. The cul\u00e9s will face FC Seoul and Daegu FC on Thursday, August 31 and Monday, August 4<\/strong> to close their Asian tour.<\/p>

Two matches where the brand new azulgrana ’10’ hopes to finish getting in tune in terms of competitive rhythm, setting his sights on the debut in La Liga against Mallorca<\/a> on August 16.<\/p>

Physically, Lamine is impeccable, but the two months without playing matches with FC Barcelona have slightly reduced his lethality in attack. The Catalan winger was, by far, the best of the team in the last month of 24\/25, with exhibitions in La Liga, Copa and Champions that boosted his candidacy for the 2025 Ballon d’Or<\/a>.<\/p>
