Barça Festival in Lamine Yamal's first exhibition with the 10

BarcelonaShow the best version of yourself. It's the mentality that Kobe Bryant had, the inspiration for the away kit debuted today in South Korea, during his glorious time in the NBA. A way of seeing the sport that Hansi Flick also applies. Despite being preseason, the German coach demands the maximum, and it pays off on the pitch. One of those who applies it most on this Asian tour is Lamine Yamal. The winger from Rocafonda generated all three of Barça's goals in the first half, two of them from Barça's new number 10. Everything remains the same as last season: effectiveness in attack and the need to improve in defense, with the goal of conceding fewer goals (3-7).

With the presence of Deco, who despite not traveling to Japan to continue working on the exit operation, has been present in Korea, Flick again opted for a starting eleven with Ronald Araujo in the place of Iñigo Martínez, Kounde, De Jong, Olmo and Lewandowski were the other new features compared to the match day Vissel KobeBarça came out with a fierce attack against Seoul, who opted to wait in their own half. The Catalans were far superior and didn't take long to translate their effort. Dani Olmo recovered the ball and connected with Lamine Yamal, eager to show off. The winger's shot hit the post, but Lewandowski, doing what he does best, was very alert to put the ball into the back of the net.

The debut of the new Barça number 10.

He couldn't get it right at first, but Lamine was eager to make his debut with the number 10 on his back. After attempting a go-ahead pass to Olmo, the Rocafonda player collected the rebound from the defense to make it 2-0 with a superb shot from the edge of the box. Despite the humidity and heat in South Korea, intensity was non-negotiable. They were quick to circulate the ball and very attentive in defense to mark the offside line. However, the competitive tension of an official match lacked. In a loss by Lamine, Yamal to Kim Jinsu, he allowed a cross for Cho Youngwook to finish, who reduced the deficit with an offside goal, but without VAR. An action that reminded some fans of Acerbi's goal at the Giuseppe Meazza.

Before halftime, Seoul surprised everyone by equalizing. A through ball to Al Arab made it 2-2 against Joan Garcia. But Lamine Yamal, who brought the Mamba mentality to the pitch, wasn't enough. Olmo connected with the forward, who, after a great cut, shook off his marker and finished perfectly to end the first half with a victory.

Christensen joins the party.

With Marcus Rashford's introduction in the second half, the Englishman was reunited on the pitch with an old friend: Jesse Lingard. The two forwards were trained in the Manchester United youth academy, where they spent seven seasons together. Hansi Flick also tried Gerard Martín in the center of defense, ahead of Iñigo Martínez, who remained on the bench. But the star of the show was the other Barça center back, Andreas Christensen. The Dane attempted a very long-range shot that surprised everyone and extended the lead.

Barça's two new outfield players, Bardghji and Rashford, were very involved. Their presence was so prominent that it almost cost them a goal. The Swedish winger's error in a back pass to Szczęsny that Dugandzic was close to capitalizing on. Fortunately for the Catalans, the Pole saved a superb shot to prevent the South Korean side from scoring. Another player who made the most of his minutes was Jofre Torrents, who assisted Ferran Torres. Gavi, with a fine touch of quality, scored the sixth, but Jung Hanmin reduced the deficit after another defensive error. Ferran Torres, with a brace, made it 3-7.
