Van Basten: Yamal should play a more central role, he should have more ball rights

May 7th According to the British media METRO, Van Basten talked about Yamal in an interview.

It is reported that Van Basten suggested that Barcelona change Yamal's position to help the team go further. The 17-year-old talented player once again showed an amazing performance in the Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan, and his dribbling still gave the opponent's defense headache despite Inter's tight defense. He successfully completed 14 passes in the game, the highest record in a single Champions League match since Neymar eight years ago.

In the first leg of last week, Yamal also performed well, scoring a wonderful first goal for the team. With his outstanding performance in the European Championships over the past week, Yamal has become one of the best wingers in football today, and many even think he will be the next Golden Globe winner. Van Basten was impressed with Yamal's performance in both games, but he believes Barcelona and coach Flick should consider moving the teenager to a more central position so he can "take the next level."

When talking about this, Van Basten said: "Actually, it's a pity that he plays in that position now because he doesn't have enough chances to get the ball. Of course, he is a persistent threat on the right. But if he can move in the middle, he will have a greater impact on the game and can also make more contributions to the team. I think this is the next direction of development. He can score goals, crosses, assist teammates to score, and we already know that the next step should be: how much influence does he have on the entire team? Such a good player should appear more in the center of the court."

This season, Yamal only played the right winger for Barcelona, ​​scoring 15 goals and sending 24 assists in 51 games. Although their dream of winning the Champions League was shattered again, Barcelona currently leads four points in La Liga with four games left, including a key showdown with Real Madrid. If they can win, they can almost lock in the championship.
