18-year-old genius took over Messi! Behind the change of Barcelona s No. 10 jersey, there is a hidden 120 million European business information

On July 14, Barcelona officially confirmed that the 18-year-old Yamal will take over the legendary No. 10 jersey and become the new generation of Camp Nou flag after Messi, Ronaldo and Rivaldo. This decision seems to be natural, but in fact it hides Barcelona's current struggles and ambitions. On one hand, it is the rise of youth training geniuses, and on the other hand, it is the difficulty of self-rescue in the financial quagmire.

10 inheritance: From Messi to Yamal, Barcelona's "Star-making Plan"

Yamar's return to No. 10 has long been an open secret. Last season, he made 43 goals (11 goals and 32 assists), and the King of Extraordinary + Assistance King was added. He wore Messi's number on his 18th birthday. This script is perfect. The commercial value is even more explosive. Adidas directly customized the same combat boots for him. Barcelona expects that his jersey sales will exceed 120 million euros in the new season, which is a complete new money tree.

But behind the inheritance of No. 10 is another attempt to "de-Messiize". Fati was once the candidate successor after Messi left the team, but as a result, he became a burden for high salary and injuries. Now he is loaned to Monaco, and the buyout clause of 11 million euros is almost "sold at a low price". Yamal is different. He is not only a data monster, but also a "pure-blooded signature" of Barcelona's youth training. The club must bet on him. Even if the price is a 1 billion euro penalty, it must also prevent the poaching of local tycoons such as Paris and Manchester City.

number hanging = the seller is stuck? Barcelona's financial cycle has been settled, but the 12th, 14th and 22th have not been allocated for a long time. This is not that Barcelona pays attention to the "sense of ritual", but that the progress of selling people is not smooth. Central defenders such as Araujo and Christensen were listed, but the transfer negotiations were delayed; Ter Stegen was unwilling to give up No. 1 to new aid J-Garcia, and the locker room was undercurrent; substitute goalkeeper Peña left the team just because Barcelona could not afford four goalkeepers...

The root cause of all this is the tight curse of the La Liga salary cap and the FFP (Financial Fairness Act). Barcelona must cut salaries in order to register for new players, and even meritorious old ministers must leave, just like the replica of the forced salary cuts last year. The first thing Frick did after taking office was not to plan tactics, but to persuade the redundant players to withdraw. How could he look like a wealthy family? It's simply a financial self-rescue committee.

Yamar's future: genius or consumables?

Yamar passes through No. 10, and its tactical significance is far greater than its symbolic significance. Harvey and Frick used him as a universal weapon, with the right-hand blast, the retreat organization, and even the pseudo-Nine, averaging 4.1 passes + 1.8 steals per game, making him look like a hexagonal warrior. But the hidden danger is also obvious: at the age of 17, he averaged 12 kilometers per game, and the medical team had to carry out "load management", for fear that he would follow Fati's footsteps.

What's more ironic is that Barcelona bets on youth training while calling for poverty. Yamal, Kubasi, Jiwu... these children were marked at high prices (Casado asked for 50 million euros), becoming the club's bargaining chips for "selling blood to survive". There are two jerseys hanging in the Camp Nou locker room, Yamal 10 and Araujo No. 4. One represents the future, and the other may be listed for sale tomorrow.

Vivi briefly commented: The decency of the wealthy family and the embarrassment of reality

Barcelona's No. 10 inheritance has never been just a handover of jersey numbers, but a microcosm of the rise and fall of the club. Yamal carries hope for revival, but Barcelona's fiscal dilemma, locker room games, and youth training overdrafts make this "youth storm" full of uncertainty. If one day in the future, even La Macia's signature can't be kept, then what's left of Barcelona? Perhaps, this is the cruelty of modern football. Genius can become famous overnight, but the decline of wealthy families often begins with internal collapse.
