Lamine Yamal may only be 17 years old, the Spanish prodigy is not cold in the eyes. He never ceases to demonstrate it on the grounds as outside. This is evidenced by his recent words about the Ballon d'Or. While he now seems to be distant in the duel that he gives himself distance from Ousmane Dembélé, the Barcelona subtly made the France-Spain match scheduled for Thursday the justice of the peace of their confrontation.
“If you were to give the Ballon d'Or, to whom would you give it?” To the winner on Thursday or to the best player of the year? I would vote for the best player of the year, but if you want to play it on Thursday, we play it on Thursday ”, He said at the start of the week on Spanish radio.
Passing through a press conference, Ibrahima Konaté did not fail to take offense in this way of doing things. “I have not seen how it happened, but it's very, very strong what they did. You should do the same in France. How can you bet everything on Thursday's match? It is not serious. It is also strong, the little one, in communication, but it will not be played on it. It must be said: it is Ousmane (Dembélé) who deserves the Ballon d'Or »he blown.
A very good memory for Lamine Yamal
Lamine Yamal does not revel in this confrontation in the face of the Blues. The French team necessarily evokes excellent memories. Last summer, it was thanks to an incredible strike from the Catalan nugget at the heart of the first period that the Roja revived after the opening of the Randal Kolo Muani score. A goal that the Barcelonaus took care to recall on Instagram.
And the memories are all the softer for Lamine Yamal since he had followed out of tense exchanges with Adrien Rabiot. “There are memories when the players meet … it serves as experiences. There are not only positive experiences. Afterwards, there is the quality of the players, the instinctive side … Yamal has the ability to make differences. It will be the same poster. The content will not necessarily be similar ”, warned Didier Deschamps for this purpose, adding: “Rabiot said nothing about Yamal. »»
