Marcelo Shares Admiration for Young Talent

Praise for 18-Year-Old Player

Marcelo expressed his admiration for an impressive 18-year-old prospect.

He remarked to AS, “Competing against Lamine would have posed a challenge for me. Until the end of my playing career, I didn’t encounter a winger who could even slightly match my skills. Lamine would unquestionably have dribbled past me.”

Potential Future Star for Real Madrid

The former player also believes that Real Madrid may have a comparable talent coming up through their ranks this season.

He pointed out, “Currently, there’s a promising player on Real Madrid’s Juvenil A team named Gabri (Valero). He’s exceptional, and I have a lot of confidence in him. It’s likely he’ll advance to the first team because he possesses outstanding dribbling abilities, similar to Lamine, and has excellent control of the ball.”
