Spanish prodigy, Yamal, has undoubtedly been the brightest star in this Euro Cup. Today he gave an interview to Marca, where he spoke about some of the small details of the Euro Cup and his future plans.
Speaking about his decisive goal against France, Yamal said: “My teammates were constantly passing the ball to me, this goal was a team effort. I already had a feeling that I could score before the goal. When I looked up, I saw the goal, so I didn’t choose to pass, luckily I scored.”
“During the Euro Cup, Mbappé asked for my shirt, as did some of the other locker room staff. Chiesa also asked for it on the day we played Italy. The staff told me that Mbappé wanted to have my shirt, so I gave it to him. At that time, defeating France and reaching the final, I was so excited that I forgot many things that happened then.”
Speaking about being compared to Messi, Yamal said: “I try to be myself, comparing myself to the best player in history won’t help me, because I will never be like him, I just try to be myself, Yamal, and for people to remember me, that’s it.”
Speaking about his desire for the European Cup title, Yamal said: “I hope I can win it on my 17th birthday, although it will be very difficult, but if it succeeds it will be amazing.”
