Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal are the most prominent Spanish national team players at Euro 2024. However, neither of them wants to be the only one in the spotlight.
Williams (21 years) and Yamal (16 years) are the young players that Spain has brought to the 2024 European Cup. Even though they are ‘kids’, the two of them are actually the backbone of La Furia Roja.
Acting as the wings of the Spanish attack, the duo Williams and Yamal have created 20 opportunities and 19 attempted shots in 5 matches. They have contributed 3 assists and 1 goal so far.
The aggressiveness of Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal led Spain to the quarter-finals undefeated. The Matador team was even the only team with 100 percent wins in the group phase.
No wonder, Williams and Yamal received high appreciation from Spanish fans. Both are considered to be La Furia Roja’s new hopes for the years to come.
Williams was very happy with the support given to him and Yamal by the supporters. On the one hand, he asked fans to appreciate the other Spanish players who are working hard at Euro 2024.
“The team is all of us, not just Lamine and I. It’s true we appreciate the support we get, but I think we did something extraordinary,” Williams told DT Entertainment.
“You can’t leave everything to two players, but I’m happy we have the support of the fans. Lamine is not only a teammate, but also a friend,” he continued.
“That carried over to the field, where we got along well. Balde introduced us, bless Balde, he brought us together and now we get along well,” Nico Williams said about Lamine Yamal.
