Alessandro Bastoni (26 years old), the defender from Inter, had words of praise to Lamine Yamal, his direct opponent from the semi -final of the Champions League against Barcelona.
Bastoni prefaced the Barcelona Nerrazzi duel and praised Lamine Yamal, the 17 -year -old player from Barcelona.
Alessandro Bastoni about Lamine Yamal: “I was impressed by how much it evolved”
“I think so. I met him against the euro against Spain and it was not at this level. I was impressed by how much he evolved.
I played against many top players and in terms of age and ability to create, it is one of the best, if not the best, ”said Alessandro Bastoni, before the return of the Champions League semifinal.
“We will give 200%, we know that it does not happen every year. We cannot wait. We watched many videos, but to play against them is quite different. We will learn from the tour. We had a few wrong step that could lead to dangerous opportunities,” continued Alessandro Bastoni at the press conference.
Lamine Yamal is one of the most appreciated young footballers in the world. The young Spanish from Barcelona has a dream season in the Blaugrana shirt. Yamal has collected 50 games, 15 goals and 24 assists in all competitions for Catalans this season.
The return sleeve of the Champions League semifinal was scheduled today, May 6, from 10:00 pm. In the tour, Inter and Barcelona drew, score 3-3. The return of the semifinal is played on Giuseppe Meazza, after the tour of Montjuic.
No one should be so good at 17. There is no doubt that we see the beginning of a very special talent. Delta exceeds what Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi did at the same age. It also has the discipline needed to do the job below the defensive.
