Lamine Yamal will become one of the world’s top players, according to Alvaro Morata. AC Milan and Spain captain Alvaro Morata is confident Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal will soon become one of the world’s top players. He told The Athletic on Monday.
At just 17, Yamal has shown a level of confidence and determination. That is rare for a young player and Morata has praised the youngster for understanding his path in football UFABET
Morata said:
‘He’s a kid with a lot of determination, which is rare for someone his age. He has a clear idea of what he wants to do,’ Morata said. ‘He’s got a big personality and everything is in front of him. To be honest, I’ve never seen anything like this before. I’ve never seen a player like this before. One training session was enough to know he was different. ‘
Morata also compared Yamal to legendary strikers Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Saying that players of his calibre only come around once in a generation.
‘Every 20 or 30 years there comes one or two players like Cristiano and Messi. For me, he has everything needed to make history.’
‘I believe that if he doesn’t become the greatest player in the history of Spain. He will definitely be one. He made history with us by winning the Euros. And He was only 16 when the tournament started.’
‘I hope he keeps this hope going because he’s my teammate. Because he can help me win more with the national team. And because my kids want to meet him, get to know him, go to the games and so on.’
Morata is also keen to protect a highly talented player like Yamal. Which has sparked his interest in working as a player agent in the future.
‘I know can help players not to make the same mistakes I did, to help them. To advise them and guide them in their careers.’ the 32-year-old forward said.
