The Magic": Why Spain has done everything to snatch Lamine Yamal from Morocco

Considered the jewel of La Roja, the 18-year-old Barcelona winger is the object of his coach’s admiration. During the "Revelado" show broadcast on DAZN, Luis de la Fuente described an immense and incomparable talent. "We immediately notice these footballers to whom magic whispers: ’You are going to be special’," he affirmed, also hailing a cultivated and respectful young man.

This exceptional potential has pushed the Spanish Federation (RFEF) to mobilize behind the scenes. The technician emphasized the intense efforts made to convince the prodigy to opt definitively for Spain. Indeed, Lamine Yamal also met all the conditions required to wear the jersey of Morocco or Equatorial Guinea.

The interview then shifted to a more painful subject: Gavi’s long unavailability. Luis de la Fuente confided that the injury of the Barcelona midfielder had been experienced as a real drama within the group. This setback was felt with immense sorrow, similar to that of an "accident" affecting a family member.

On a more positive note, the coach was very reassuring about Rodri’s physical condition. The Manchester City player has resumed a normal pace with his club and his recovery is progressing perfectly. To conclude his intervention, de la Fuente designated him as the best player in the world in his position, forming with Martín Zubimendi the absolute reference duo in midfield.
