"Barcelona" team talent Lamine Yamali spoke about his childhood idol.

According to the forward, he tried to emulate not the Argentine Lionel Messi.

"My childhood idol was Neymar. Of course, L. Messi was the best, but I was fascinated by the Brazilian and his playing style," said L. Yamali.

"After school, we would go to a friend's house to watch videos of Neymar's performances on the computer.

I would spend the whole afternoon like that, and later I would watch the virtuoso play at my home."
