Benjamin Vidal Future 10 for the nats

I saw his blonde hair and I thought it was little Clovis, another #10 who is really good for his age right now.

That being said, I think it's ridiculous to hype these children and put on them unrealistic expectations.

They're kids, just let them play. There's kids currently at Barca who are going to grow up to never play a pro game. There's absolutely no use in comparing children right now. Some are early bloomers others are late bloomers, some will lose interest, some are playing against pitiful competition yet some just want to please their dads and others will never have the discipline.

Bottom line. No, just let them be kids and worry about their pro prospects when they're at least teenagers.

 

Thing with kids like this is that they should start playing up an age as soon as they can. Looks like Clovis is doing that already.

 

My messi is better than your messi, LOL

seriously playaz you've got to be kidding me, you're projecting the potential of a 9yr old

My point wasn't that your kid is better than Clovis(13yr) or vice versa, my point was that people promoting kids is ridiculous and even more ridiculous is people legitimately projecting said children into some sort of future futbol stars.

Being from a privileged background doesn't bode well for this kids pro prospects, kids with a backup plan usually end up relying on that backup plan and they're not as hungry, which is why the vast majority of talented players come from humble beginnings. Kaka is a rare exception.

 

reading this whole thread reminds me of a story i heard a few weeks ago of a dutch club signing an 18 month old lol.

as for this kid, we should just wait until he's at least 13 or 14, cause then he may have a more concrete idea of what path he may want to take.
