Responsibility you accept Lamin Yamal at 17 years old Barcelona and in the Spanish national team, with which he was proclaimed European champion, he was praised by the coach of the Spanish national team. real Madrid, Carlo Ancelottiwhich highlighted the “attitude” of the footballer who had “started his career spectacularly.”
A few hours before Ancelotti’s classic, in addition to being very calm in his performance Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe in Real and select the figure Vinicius Jr..,” praised such a rival player as Lamin Yamal.
“The truth is that he started his career impressively. I really like his way of playing and his attitude. He is a very dangerous player, but you shouldn’t get too hung up on him, despite the quality of his opponent. We need to be more focused on what we want to do. “We have a lot of respect for Barcelona, they are doing very well and everyone recognizes that they have started the season very well,” he told a news conference.
For this reason, focusing on his team, the Italian coach showed maximum confidence in the Frenchman Mbappé, to whom he admitted that he would not give any special message that he is his first classic, since in the past he has already shone with goals against Barcelona .
“Nothing special, he knows very well what he needs to do because he has the experience of playing against Barcelona many times. His way of preparing for a match is very calm and simple, he has a lot of confidence in his qualities. As always, he will contribute, sometimes more, sometimes less, but we are confident that tomorrow he will contribute something to the team,” he assured.
Carletto similarly backed Bellingham, downplaying his lack of goals this season and emphasizing the job he does for the team: “He’s very good, he’s improving. He’s had problems with his ankle and shoulder, but he’s in good shape. Very Good and he makes a great contribution. Not with goals, but with work that is very important to us. He understands very well how important he is to the team.
“Last year it was important that he scored goals because we lost an important striker like Karim. Now we have replaced it with Mbappe’s goals.”This year we don’t need them as much because we have a player who scores more than 30. If Jude scores, that’s good, but if he doesn’t, his job is very important.“he added.
Convinced that Bellingham’s goals will come, as will Mbappe’s, Ancelotti believes both are approaching their best: “Mbappe has already scored goals and is very important for the team. If he didn’t score against Dortmund, he was very present.” in the first two and little by little he is looking for his best version. Neither I, nor the staff, nor he are in a hurry. “We are already satisfied and it is obvious that he will achieve more because he has all the qualities to achieve more.”
The mirror to look into is the Brazilian Vinicius, who signs a month of better results and arrives at the classics after an exhibition performance in the UEFA Champions League in the second leg against Borussia Dortmund with a treble.
“To coach Vinicius is to coach one of the best in the world, a boy who remains very humble, who was able to make significant progress as a footballer to become one of the best and become a future Ballon d’Or winner.no one doubts it, maintaining the same modesty and seriousness that he had when we met,” he praised.
Although, having seen Vinicius exercise leadership in the last game, Ancelotti wants this to be common in his team: “I hope that there is not just one leader in the team, there are many of them. Vinicius can be a leader, he can be ValverdeModric is still there. Young people can demonstrate more than just words through their attitude and commitment to being leaders. The luck of the team is not to have one, but to have many of them.“.
