Spanish FA Exec: Yamine Lamar, Nico Williams Are \'The New Era\'
Spain\'s Euro 2024 title was spearheaded by the superb play on the wings of Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams. Wiliams was named man of the match in the final against England, while Yamal was the young player of the tournament. The pair were involved in eight goals of the tournament.
“They are the new era,” a member of the Spanish FA told The Athletic.
“They are a constant joy, they have added this to the team” Luis De la Fuente said. “We have a mature squad, very professional, and then those guys are so fun to be with. They’ve fitted so well with the veterans, who took the fresh air they brought and revitalised themselves, too. Our more senior players help a lot in guiding them. The exchange and impact is really positive.”
Williams could possibly join Yamal at Barcelona as he has a $71.4 million release clause with Athletic Bilbao.
