“We will watch him twice as much,” how the Nerrazzuri are preparing to find Lamine Yamal

Flamboyant in the first leg, Lamine Yamal received the praises from Simone Inzaghi and Alessandro Bastoni, this Monday on the eve of the semi-final return of the Champions League between Inter and Barça (9 p.m.). The Nerazzurri plan to monitor the 17 -year -old prodigy like the milk on fire.

This time, they will not be able to say that they were not warned. Tuned by the talent of Lamine Yamal in the first leg, last week in Catalonia (3-3), the Inter players promise increased surveillance on the Catalan prodigy, this Tuesday (9 p.m.), in the semi-final return of the Champions League.

Simone Inzaghi had already praised the Barça winger six days ago (“Yamal is clearly a phenomenon as he may be born every fifty years. I had never seen such a talent before”). The Italian coach presented this on the eve of the shock in San Siro: “It is very difficult to stop it. Ideally, we should not leave him the ball. But in today’s football, it is impossible. It will be the subject of special surveillance, of course. We will monitor it twice even more.”

Above all, Inzaghi is amazed by the importance taken in Barça’s game by this 17 -year -old kid. “The rest of the team, when it is in difficulty, is based on him. What is most impressive in him is his speed of mind: before receiving the ball, in a tenth of a second, he already knows what he must do.”

“I am impressed by his level”

Sparkling last Wednesday in Montjuïc, where he scored a superb goal as a soloist and made his magic speak throughout the game, Lamine Yamal had also received the compliments of Alessandro Bastoni. The Italian international, to whom he brought a little ordeal to life (just like at Federico Dimarco), repeated this Monday that Yamal was “the best player [qu’il ait] never faced “.

“I am impressed by his level, and with his ability to create opportunities, it’s the best,” he praised in front of the media, before completing: “We have to do as in the first leg, double his marking. But Barcelona, ​​it’s not that Yamal. They have a very good attack”.
