Former Ukrainian national team player Andriy Polunin has spoken out about the victory of the Spanish national team at Euro 2024.
- Spain has shown that young players and untitled coaches can win major tournaments. The local football federation entrusted the highest coaching position not to a big name, but to a person who was not known in the world, but who worked with the team at the level of junior and youth national teams. Luis de la Fuente knows the capabilities of young players, knows their character, because he brought up many of them. He added a number of quality experienced players to the squad and put on a phenomenal game. The Spaniards impressed with their combination football, technique, intelligent actions, and excellent play in the selection. The team played brightly and created a lot of scoring chances.
Lamin Yamal is the main discovery of Euro 2024. He started playing at the Euros at the age of 16 and did amazing things on the fields of Germany. The young man managed to make the most effective passes in the tournament - four! Moreover, his passes were key and decided the fate of the matches. I am also impressed by his courage. The young man was not afraid to take responsibility. I think that in the next 10-15 years, Lamin Yamal will be one of the best football players in the world," the expert is sure.
