David Raum will Face Lamine Yamal Like he's a Seasoned Pro

David Raum, Germany's defender, stated in a press conference that Lamine Yamal, whom he will face in the Euro quarterfinals, "is no longer a kid" and highlighted the "brutal quality" of the Spanish national team player.

Germany and Spain will clash in the next round of the Euro, and the German team is wary of the threat posed by Luis de la Fuente's squad, particularly from the wings with Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams. Raum, who started under Julian Nagelsmann against Denmark in the round of 16, made it clear that despite being only 16, Yamal is already a well-established player.

"I think they are two top players, but not just them, the entire Spanish national team is formidable. For example, Dani Olmo, one of the pillars of Leipzig (his club and where both are teammates).

Of course, their two wingers are also important, and age is no longer an issue in football. Yamal has been playing for Barcelona's first team and the national team for a while now. That's why Yamal is no longer a kid. He has brutal quality," he emphasized.

Raum acknowledged that Germany will face a "difficult task" in stopping their two rivals, and when asked if the match between Germany and Spain is a "premature final," he responded that he doesn't know, but that the statement is already a compliment to the 'Mannschaft'. "In reality, we view every match as a final," he concluded.
