Spain coach Luis de la Fuente said young wingers Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams have a"gift from God" ahead of their Euro 2024 opener against Croatia on Saturday.
"They are young players, especially Lamine, he's a young boy, with incredible talent that only the chosen ones have," De la Fuente told a news conference Friday before Spain's opener in Berlin.Despite hailing the pair, De la Fuente said he was trying to keep their feet on the ground, with Yamal revealing last week he would still be doing his school homework at the tournament.
"We're enforcing the education and training from his club. They are special footballers, Nico too, that makes them different from the rest." Yamal was not even born when Croatia captain Luka Modric made his major tournament debut at the 2006 World Cup in Germany."Everyone will see him as the greatest danger for Spain, he's got great potential and a great career in front of him."Yamal could be up against Manchester City defender Josko Gvardiol if coach Zlatko Dalic selects him at left-back to try and stymie the threat of the young winger.
