Vincent Kompany, the head coach of the German football team "Bavaria", has expressed positive opinions about Barcelona's young star, Lamine Yamal.
Idman.Biz reports that the Belgian expert called the emergence of such a talent shortly after the departure of Argentine legend Lionel Messi a phenomenal event.
Kompany did not hide his belief that Yamal could become the best in world football in the future:
"It is exceptional for Barcelona to gain someone like Lamine Yamal so soon after the departure of the greatest player of all time. For my generation, Lionel Messi was the face of our era. It is a unique event that immediately after his departure we have a player who could potentially follow in his footsteps."
The coach also specifically emphasized the work of the Catalan club's academy. According to Kompany, great thanks are due to "La Masia", which has always believed in young players and given them a chance.
