Bielsa: Yamal is like Messi, who can create opportunities alone when facing defense

Hupu, August 30th, Uruguay national team coach Bielsa defended Ramin Yamal's professionalism, responded to numerous comments about his birthday party, rumored girlfriend or traveling to the beach in the Balearic Islands, and praised his ability on the court.

The coach emphasized that for a coach, it is extremely precious to have a player with his ability and talent. "If you have a player like Yamal and you give him the ball, he doesn't care whether there are two or ten defensive players in front of him, he can still pass them... This type of player can solve the offensive problem without any tactical assistance. He can break through the opponent's formation alone and help his team by eliminating the opponent without help from others."

He added that unlike other players, Yamal can create opportunities on his own when facing defense. "He doesn't even need strong passes because they give him a horizontal pass, and he can pass everyone after receiving the ball, just like Messi. Mbappe or Ronaldo needs support from the midfield, but Messi and the Barcelona winger don't, they need horizontal passes when the opponent is in front of him. So if you have this resource, then everything related to the tactical structure doesn't matter."

The national team coach also mentioned the storm caused by the players' birthday party: "I saw the response from Delafuente. The answer to Yamal’s question. A reporter talked about the players’ parties in Mallorca, all those beaches in the Balearic Islands… De La Fuente was smart, explaining that it didn’t matter because Yamal trained six hours a day, went to the gym for two hours, had a healthy diet, had a physical therapist and a sports masseur followed, and was forced to sleep for a certain amount of time. Of course, he had a girlfriend and went out at night, but what did the reporters stress? Is it these attractive vacation trips, or this kind of self-disciplined spirit? “.
