Spain boss Luis de la Fuente had plenty of praise for Lamine Yamal after the Barcelona star scored twice
and grabbed an assist in Tuesday’s Nations League win over Croatia.The Barcelona teenager put on a show again in Seville as the world champions continued their winning streak, with De la Fuente saying he enjoyed his “magic.”
“He puts all his talent at the service of the team. The squad truly loves him, and we’re delighted to have him. Lamine is eager to continue growing, to show the world the kind
of player he is, and we’re thrilled with him because his natural and humble demeanor makes him even better every day,” he told reporters.
“Today we enjoyed his magic in service of the team, and that makes him an even better player. In the future, he’ll be much more recognized for what he does, not only for his individual brilliance but also for his contribution to the team.”
Spain still have two more international fixtures to play during the current break. La Roja take on Czechia on Saturday in Oviedo and then head to Croatia for a second game with Slaven Bilic’s side on Tuesday.
