Spain coach has ‘blind confidence’ in Barca teen Yamal
TBILISI: Spain coach Luis de la Fuente insisted he has “blind confidence” in Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal without revealing if he would make history by playing Friday’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Georgia. The 16-year-old would become Spain’s youngest ever player if he features against either Georgia or Cyprus next Tuesday. But De la Fuenta did not reveal whether the youngster would play as Spain bid to get their European qualifying campaign back on track. “Lamine appeared very good to me watching him on television, but working with him you realize even more his potential. He seems even better,” De la Fuente told a press conference on Thursday. “Currently, he’s a very important player for us, he’s here on his own merit.
