UHe is not 21 years old. The other only 16. Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal They have managed to make their names sound with unexpected force in the Euro. So much so as to be at the center of the debates at the doors of a match as monumental as the one that is going to take place in Stuttgart.
And so much so that questions about them have been constant among journalists, German or not, to Nagelsmann and his players. “He has great talent. I don’t think there are many so stable at his age. He is very well surrounded. He comes from both sides, he is excellent, very fun. But it is also true that he lacks experience, and that does not mean that he “Let’s constantly make tackles. It’s a good test for our players. Their wingers are very good, but they have many more things and we focus only on them,” says the coach.
Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams ‘sting each other’ in the mixed zone: “This week is going to be a bit heavy”
Nagelsmann He assured that to talk about Lamine Yamal was that of Gündogan a more authoritative voice. Teammate at Barcelona, Ilkay He did not spare praise for Spain’s 19. “Lamine, for his age, is very mature. What he has shown is something unique. When you look at yourself at his age you realize it. This new generation is already capable of playing at that level before. He is already a very important player for the selection and for the Barçathere is a player for the next decade or more,” he explained.
They are the example of what has been generated around the two wide players of the Spanish team. Their actions on the field have gone around the world, such as the naturalness with which they imitated the game of rock, paper and scissors after beating Georgia.

maturity day
The word fear, the one that his game gives and the one that his markers have felt, has appeared since the first game. But also that they are two players far from maturity. What you are going to experience tonight is a step beyond everything you have known until now. In what is the 18th match with Spain for Nico and the one who is worth it to reach the dozen Lamine Yamalthe sensations will have nothing to do with the above.
Before them will be defenses with a shirt with four stars of world champions and a history with three European Championships won and three finals lost.
And not only that. Because the match is being played on German soil, in a country handed over to his team after Nagelsmann has been able to regain the ground handed over in the era of Hansi Flick.
In the house of Stuttgart, the brothers of rock, paper and scissors face a true test of maturity. What they have done during this Euro Cup is already outrageous, the basis of a future full of illusions. But if this afternoon they are able to unsettle the Germans in their lair of Stuttgart – a single defeat in nine games and seven in 35 games in total – we will be facing a phenomenon whose peak is impossible to predict. Pass or not, they are the sensation of the Euro Cup.
