Capello underestimates Lamine Yamal's potential

The brilliant season debut of Lamine Yamal in Spain follows generating diverse opinions in the world of the football, in his majority praises to the canterano of the FC Barcelona. However, Fabio Capello, ex trainer of the Real Madrid and others 'big' of Europe, infravaloró the talent of the youngster with a surprising affirmation on his future.

"I found to Messi in the Gamper and to the 20-25 minutes of party approached to Rijkaard and asked him that it loaned it to me this season. It was a genius. Lamine Has a lot of quality and is very interesting, but will not be a genius. Messi, Peeled and Maradona were the genii", commented in the anteroom of the Prizes Laureus 2024, where Aitana Bonmatí was awarded like better feminine sportsman of the past year.

Capello Excluded to Christian of his historical podium

Of equal way, the experienced Italian trainer left out of his list of 'genii' to Cristiano Ronaldo. "It is a grandísimo player, won titulos, balloons of gold... But as I have said before, it has not been so genial like Messi. Ronaldo is a big goleador and knows to do of everything, but is not a genius", insitió Capello, the one who besides ensured that, unlike 'CR7', yes would include in this category to Ronaldo Nazario.

In this sense, Fabio leaves clear that, further of his brilliant season of debut, Lamine Yamal is a stair underneath of Leo Messi, further of his precocity. The Italian trainer saw for the first time to 'The Flea' in action in the trophy Joan Gamper 2005, where the rosarino shined like right extreme with alone 18 years. Lionel had debuted in LaLiga a pair of months before, turning into his first party before reaching the majority of age.
