Guardiola insists that even if Yamal emerges as a world class talent at only 17 years old in Barcelona, he is “impossible” for a player to match Messi's exploits, who is undoubtedly one of the best players to have ever walked ground.
Guardiola did not lead Yamal, but, of course, he and Messi experienced a golden era together at Barça, winning three Liga titles and two Champions Leagues during their collaboration. Today, Yamal is ready to endorse the n ° 10 jersey that the winner of the World Cup has worn.
Guardiola vote Messi
Guardiola told Dazn: “It's surprising what everyone says, and it's true: we only acquire this maturity at 24, 25 years old … Sometimes, with such a talented player, we have the impression that you have to try your luck with each action. With each action, you have to mark a three -point basket like Curry. No. It happens, a touch of ball, and now I rest three minutes. And now it happens, another touch of ball. And now I have a little race and go again. And now I'm going to win the match. »»
No one is at Messi level
He added: ” It's really surprising, the truth is that we, at Barça, are very lucky to have found a young person who has a perspective. I'm not going to say like Leo, I'm really sorry, but leo, for me, there will be no one, nobody, no one in the world like the Argentinian, it's impossible. »»
Yamal will compete in the final of the League of Nations on Sunday, between Spain and Portugal.
