A sector of Barcelona fans began to be so overwhelmed that there were those who celebrated the loss of Lamine Yamal, interpreting it as a pretense to evade the call of the Spanish team, a sin of arrogance based on an urban legend inappropriate for a team that is doing well but not that well. like to go to Anoeta reserving his star. Visiting Donostia is no nonsense. The Gipuzkoans may not have started the season well, but since Imanol Alguacil coached them, seven years ago, they are a more than respectable, even admirable football team most of the time. And they also have Take Kubo, undoubtedly their Lamine Yamal.
Take Kubo became the Masia mascot. At the age of 10, he traveled from Japan to Barcelona as a child prodigy, a dangerous label when one gets hung up so early, because one can be a splendorous youngster and the normal thing is that football or life, or both at the same time, distort the imagined path. . With Kubo it was even logical to fantasize. During his first full season, 2012-13, he scored a total of 74 goals in 30 games.
He was an Asian Messi.
This time the script was changed by the FIFA sanction against FC Barcelona, which frustrated the hopes of many non-EU kids, including Take Kubo, who returned depressed to his country because playing for him became illegal.
The Japanese striker is as important for Real as Rocafonda’s striker is for Barça
From then until today the Japanese winger has not ended up being Messi as Real Madrid intended, which signed him with those intentions, but today he is an unbalanced, dribbling, explosive, fantastic footballer. He has experienced so many things (Mallorca, Villarreal, Getafe –poor man–, and Mallorca again) that one made him older, but he is only 23 years old. Barça lost a lot last night without Lamine Yamal. And La Real, who acted as a group, allowed themselves to be led by the Japanese, who seems to have finally found his place in the world although it is tempting to wonder if he could consider a new attempt to be promoted to a big team in the future. He has time to achieve it, but let’s let him enjoy. To him and to the San Sebastián fans, who deserved a joy and would do well to use yesterday’s great game as a turning point to revive themselves.
Barça would certainly benefit from having a Take Kubo in the squad. The distance between Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski and the good Raphinha (in Anoeta the Brazilian seemed like the other) is too wide with respect to his potential replacements. The departure of Ansu Fati was tactically correct to fill the two extremes (for an hour Barça only went deep on one wing), but the youth squad, despite the desire that one has to do well at once, was a love and I can’t with the one who integrated like a glove into the defective performance of his companions, a recital of rather desperate inaccuracy.
Barça ended up locking in their rival in the final stretch of the match but the Barça club is not used to winning without merits accompanying them. That’s not his story. They already did it last season with a very strange 0-1 and the flute was not going to sound two consecutive seasons.
