Marcos Senna, a celebrated figure in Spanish football, has expressed his admiration for Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal. In his analysis, he revealed that he holds Yamal in higher regard than Real Madrid\u2019s Vinicius Jr. <\/p>\n
Senna explained that while both players possess remarkable skills, he is particularly drawn to Yamal\u2019s exceptional speed. <\/p>\n
He recalled how he has often favoured Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo in discussions, highlighting that Messi\u2019s pace and ability to influence the game made him stand out. <\/p>\n
According to Senna, this same quality is what makes Yamal a special talent. He appreciates Yamal\u2019s dynamic presence on the field and his versatility in passing,which sets him apart from many players. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey are both great players, but I like Lamine much more. The reason is that he has pace,\u201d said the former Villarreal midfielder as quoted by Mundo Deportivo. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I was asked before who I preferred, Messi or Cristiano, I always preferred Messi because of that, because of the pace. He had more presence in the game. More diversity in passing\u2026 other things,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\nAlthough he acknowledged Vinicius as a great player, Senna pointed out that while Vinicius has executed some stunning passes\u2014like a brilliant assist to Rodrygo during a match against Espanyol\u2014Yamal\u2019s overall performance catches the eye more consistently. <\/p>\n
\u201cVinicius sometimes makes passes that are brutal. The other day he gave one to Rodrygo with Espanyol that looked like Modric had given it.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut Lamine hits it much better and in one-on-ones, he catches the eye more. If he already had Vinicius \u2018 speed he would be the perfect dribbler,\u201d explained Senna. <\/p>\n
Thoughts on Iniesta\u2019s retirementMeanwhile, Senna also took a moment to reflect on the career of Andres Iniesta, who is set to announce his retirement soon. <\/p>\n
He lamented the fact that Iniesta has never won a Ballon d\u2019Or, stating that he should have received at least one, particularly the award in 2010. <\/p>\n
\u201cAndres should have won at least one Ballon d\u2019Or, the one in 2010. He is a world reference, not just a Spanish one. <\/p>\n
\u201cHis time has come. He is one of those players who should never stop playing. He has always been amazing. As a player and as a person. A joy,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
