Guys, guys, guys, that's really sweet, but Lionel Messi
0:03
At 17? Yeah, it's because Messi wasn't even in the Barcelona lineup at Southampton. Why
0:08
Why? Because Luminium was there. Is Luminium all the best player in the world right now
0:16
By far. By far, he's the best player in the world. Don't tell me no Rafinha
0:19
Don't tell me no Dembele. Don't tell me no Mbappe. He is the best player in the world
0:25
After that Inter Milan game, everybody knows he's the best player in the world. Everybody knows
0:29
That's crazy. I wasn't going to tell you any of those three players. I was going to tell you Mohamed Salah
0:34
Whatever, dude. What? Nah, his PR sucks. I can't really appreciate it. We looked him in the quarterfinals, bro
0:39
Yeah. Yeah, bro. He does. He disappeared in the big knockout game
0:43
Fantastic. So how's the best Premier League season of all time doing
0:47
I don't really care. What do you mean you don't care? So your argument is, your argument is, I don't care
0:54
That's from Rock Salah. We're talking about UCL. Like this guy will turn a game around like this
1:00
I'm so can Mo Salah. Like we should be like debating Rafinha or Yamal
1:04
These guys saying Mo Salah, bro. Like, come on, man. I'm doing, I'm bringing exactly the kind of thing where I want
1:10
If he had, if he had, say for example, if he had a good UCL season where he kind of made it to the semis or finals, maybe, maybe
1:18
Pretty sure he's the top scorer in the UCL league phase. No, no
1:23
In the league phase. Now I'm talking about like a whole thing right now. Oh my God
1:27
But yeah, but he's not a top scorer in the knockout rounds because... Not clutch like that
1:31
Yeah, right? Okay, not clutch like that. Did you see the nicely inserted rage, baby
1:37
He's not him. The nicely inserted... Look, okay. Here's what I will say, though
1:41
Luminium Al is unbelievable to watch, but what I am sick of is the expectations we're all putting on him
1:47
Bro, he's him, though. If he's him or not. Yo, bro, he's him on all levels
1:53
He already completed football at 17. No, he didn't. He didn't even play a World Cup yet. He hasn't completed football
1:58
But the only thing that's missing him is a World Cup and a Ballon d'Or. And a La Liga and a Champions League
2:02
They might have won everything right now. Okay, but can we just relax
2:10
Can we just let him be a teenager and play football? No, I do feel for him on that because it is a lot of pressure for a kid
2:18
But the thing is about this kid, he don't feel no pressure. You're right
2:21
If you see his aura, the way he talks, He like yo ain nobody can tell me nothing Until you beat me you can tell me nothing Who has 17 kids seen that Is he the best teenager we ever seen
2:34
Ever, ever. Misty, when he was 17, he had one GA. Ronaldo, I think he had like nine GAs
2:40
Like, you can put up the stats. You can put up the stats. He got 55. And he's not even done yet
2:46
Evan, just to be clear, just to be absolutely clear, you said into a microphone
2:51
do you think Lamine Yamal is the best teenager we've ever seen in football? Ever. Ever
2:55
Yeah, I honestly think that's okay. Not even a debate. You think that's okay as well
2:59
I do, I do. Are you all right? Yeah, I'm great, actually. Look at the way that he's contributing
3:03
At the biggest stages. Yeah, yeah. Messi, obviously fantastic. Okay, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys
3:07
That's really sweet, but Lionel Messi. He was, I mean, he's a go
3:11
Oh, yeah, yeah. Lionel Messi, good. Yeah, yeah, he's a go. At 17
3:15
At 17? Yeah, it's because Messi wasn't even in the Barca lineup at 17. Why
3:20
Why? Because Ronaldinho was there. This man was in the Barca lineup from 15
3:25
Because Ronaldinho was there. 15, he was in the Barca. Messi against the prime Ronaldinho
3:31
Oh, who's taking that? No, but you acted like he was playing his position. He's still on the same team
3:36
Yeah, well, he wasn't playing his position. Okay, who's Lominium Alstay? You could say he wasn't a man while Ronaldinho was there
3:41
Whose position is Lominium Alstay taking? It doesn't matter. Exactly, shut up
3:45
That spot was handed to him. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter
3:49
He said he handed to him. It doesn't matter. He said he's the best. He's the best. He is not the best teenager we have ever seen
3:56
The best teenager we've ever seen is Lionel Messi. Boom. Do you know what
4:00
Hold on. Jamal 2025 this season, if he wins the UCL in La Liga
4:05
Yeah. That's a better season than Ronaldo 2008. I don't mind that
4:09
I hate Ronaldo. I don't mind that. I don't mind that. I hate Ronaldo
4:14
Okay. All right. You're not going to rage bait me with Ronaldo. So, Amy, you say yes
4:18
In fact, I'll agree with you on that. Thanks, bro. Appreciate it. Yes. You mean, Lamar's better at his current age right now than Messi was at that by far
4:26
That's I agree. I agree. Say it into a camera, clip it up for social
4:31
By far. It doesn't mean that we mean, Lamar is going to be better than Messi all the time
4:35
It doesn't mean that he has more potential. It means that at the age of 16, 17. He keeps developing and improving
4:40
Bro, there is a chance, man. There is. OK, can you please elaborate on that
4:45
I'm saying, for example, right? I don't know where. It just started banging his finishes
4:49
Everything just started like yo he so you mean so you mean if he just got better at football at finishing Well he got he a complete package right now bro And also you got to give it to him He one of the only few players him and Desire Dwayne right The one that kind of bring a little flair to the game
5:07
What is it? What is it with every single person in football at the moment? That's what sells seats, though. That's what me. You're right. You're right. I'm not going to be
5:15
honest with you. I kind of like stop watching for like a minute. I'm like, yo, this is boring
5:19
You stop watching football and I started watching this podcast. I started watching the whole 90s again because of him, bro
5:26
Come on, you have seen it again. So when Laminio Mal gets benched, do you just turn the game off
5:30
Nah, I'm probably going to just watch Desiree Dewey or something. Nah, we're tuning into Angelic at that point, man
5:36
Alright, alright, alright. Could Laminio Mal do what he's doing right now in the Premier League
5:41
It's different. No. You know why? Because the Premier League, they're like haters
5:45
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's definitely true. Like, his own teammate would try to bully him and stuff
5:50
Like, yo, come on, man. He's just a kid, man. Like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I feel like they won't
5:54
Barca's giving him that, like, freedom. Hey, hey, you a baller. Do what you do. Obviously, like, level-wise, he is like that where he can't play anywhere
6:01
Yeah. You know what I'm saying? But the Prem standards and the way the Prem media. Yeah, because the Premier League's better
6:07
I mean, your opinion. I ain't gonna lie. Top to bottom. No, no, no
6:11
Here's the thing. I would like to see Laminio Mal come up against English teams more often
6:16
Like, that's why I want to see, like, an Arsenal-Barcelona final. Easy cook-up
6:20
Because, well, maybe, maybe that. But English players don't give a
6:25
They will kick the shit out of you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he will get double team, triple team
6:29
Yes, but with a team like Barca, you ain't even touching the ball
6:33
Well, no, but that's possible. But they'll just kick you. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I need to see
6:39
Miles Lewis Skelly already got two or three red cards this season. So he's just a reckless, reckless man
6:44
I'd love to see what he does to Laminio Miles. Like, I want to see that match
6:47
No, I want to see that match. I want to see. Oh, I don't know. He's cooking him. I mean, he probably is like I want to like I need to see him play against English defenses who just don't care
6:58
You know how they play in Spain, right? You know how they foul people in Spain
7:02
You run past them and then they tug your shirt and you do that. Oh, you know, I've been hurt
7:07
In England, they will try and break. All right. For defense, defense wise, we can agree that Syria defense is way better than the Premier League defense
7:13
No, no, I'd say no. Prem defenders are different. Italian defenders are good too
7:19
Italian defenders are good, but Italians are just big lads. Yo they have like one of the most like they barely can see Yeah it because they don attack They don that what they don attack and then look what yoan was doing it just a total no you right no no i
7:33
think he would be very successful the marco grown ass man grown ass man bro yeah sent outside the
7:40
pitch like outside he was literally yeah he was out the frame for a baker's dozen he said he sent
7:46
him for a hot dog like uh if you're a if you're a grown-ass man playing against a kid like laminia
7:51
mall if he cooks you are you back in the locker room like re-evaluating your whole life yeah i'm
7:55
not gonna retire i'm just gonna retire bro because i don't like how do you even go back to your wife
8:02
and be a 17 year old 17 year old just cooked me uh amy you mentioned deseret duet before uh him
8:09
and laminya mall are so fun to watch uh are they the most pure footy players out right now yeah as
8:14
i've like god blessed us football is back like i swear you just said he just sent two flaring
8:21
be players for us to enjoy because we didn't have for like almost 10 years yeah and then out of
8:25
nowhere two people started just joker bonito you know what's interesting though because i think
8:30
those players have existed it's just the thing is is that like systems have presented prevented
8:35
them from doing that yeah it's name auto also name all day they see name also gone and the
8:40
influence that name has yeah that's why i'll be putting name already up there because it's not just
8:44
the stats it's the impact that he has on players yeah that's bad well no no no i get that i get
8:49
But, like, the point is that there are so many players with that kind of natural quality
8:53
But it's just the way that, like, managers piece together teams and say, nah, I don't want you dribbling there
8:58
I want you to pass. They're not allowed to do that. Also, the media. You know what I mean
9:02
The media plays a big part. For example, like, back then. We are the problem. Yeah, we had this thing
9:06
Oh, he's not doing it. He's just a showboat. But now it's different
9:10
People on TikTok, they're making edits all the time to the point now he has confidence to go ball out and do what he do
9:16
So your theory is if Desiree Dewey wasn't on TikTok, then he'd be rubbish
9:22
No, no, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying he would be rubbish. I'm just saying he kind of got like this better thing because it's TikTok clips
9:27
Those TikTok clips make you feel like confident. Dude, it's crazy because I watch TikTok clips of this and I'm like, I'm shit
9:35
They're not making time handle edits. They're not making time handle edits. I'm going to show you some edits that they made of me of my plan
9:41
I'm telling you. Of your plan? Yeah. Aimeon edits go crazy. I swear to God
9:45
I swear to God. Are you aura farming on the internet? Hell yeah
9:50
Hell yeah. Hell yeah. I'll be looking at the camera like, ooh
