Spain's national coach praises Yamal's brilliance in Spain's 3-3 draw with Brazil

Madrid, Mar 26 (EFE).- Spain national coach Luis de la Fuente on Tuesday praised Lamine Yamal for his "brilliant performance" in the friendly match against Brazil, saying he can go very high.

However, he stressed the need for caution and reminded the young talent to put his talent at the service of the team.

This advice came after Spain drew 3-3 with Brazil, a match in which Yamal's skills were up to scratch, but de la Fuente stressed the importance of team play and learning from the intricacies of the game, especially against a team of Brazil's calibre, which could be a World Cup final contender.

TRANSLATION:

-(Yamal) has had a brilliant performance, but in these cases, I like to be cautious, and I prefer to be cautious because I believe that is the best advice we can give to these very young, immensely talented guys. We have all seen what he is capable of. But I insist, above all, on prudence. He's an extremely intelligent boy; he knows how to manage these situations. And what we ask of him is to continue being as he is, because this can take him very high. But always, of course, thinking that he has to put that talent at the service of the team, as he does, which he does fantastically, besides.

-Yes, it's frustrating. Indeed, not winning a match that I wanted, in which we were very superior, showed a great sense of team, ambition, and competition. Every ball, it's frustrating. But the positive takeaway from this circumstance is that we know that in high competition, and with rivals that could perfectly be today a World Cup final, those details we also talked about the other day are the ones that sometimes determine that a match can slip away from you. We've learned a lot and above all, we've drawn very positive conclusions because I think we've been greatly reinforced, and the team is growing rapidly, running and giving the impression that this team can go very far.
