‘Unfair that little is said about him’: Lamine names most underrated player in Spain super team

“Unfair that little is said about Rodri? As everyone knows, he is the best in his position, one of the best players in the world,” Lamine Yamal told reporters.

“He is a very important piece. Without him all the games would be crazy, there would be no control.

“It is true that with me and with Nico there is a lot of verticality, but he is the one who is always there, the balls fall to, the one who gives the team play.

“He is one of the most important pieces of the team,” Lamine adds.

Like Vincente Del Bosque once said: “If you watch the game you won’t see Busquets, but if you watch Busquets, you will see the whole game.”

Perhaps we can say the same for Rodri. The Man City midfielder has been immense this season, not just for Spain but for his club too.

Meanwhile, Lamine is celebrating his 17th birthday today July 13. It seemed like he was 16 forever considering he played more than 60 games for club and country before reaching 17.
