"I think all coaches look for ways to stop Barça's attack. Their right flank is one of their weapons, because of Lamine Yamal. I already said back then, when I saw the impact he had in LaLiga as soon as he arrived, that we were talking about possibly one of the players who is going to define an era worldwide," he told Cadena SER."
"He's very difficult to stop because now, in addition to his individual skill, he also has the passing ability. Most dribblers struggle to look far ahead and deliver that cross or that forward pass, but with Lamine, if you give him an inch so he can't face you head-on, he'll deliver the pass. He'll deliver the pass with the outside of his foot and he'll deliver the cross. And then, if you stay too close to him, he'll dribble past you."
Coaches seek ways to stop Barcelona's attack, with the right flank a primary weapon because of Lamine Yamal. Yamal pairs individual dribbling skill with forward vision and passing ability, enabling him to deliver crosses and incisive passes even when narrowly marked. He can use the outside of his foot to deliver passes and crosses or beat defenders by dribbling past them if they stay too close. His combination of skills makes him a defining, game-changing player who requires carefully applied pressure and specific defensive approaches to reduce his influence on matches.
