In a DAZN
interview, 19-year-old Barcelona star Yamal lauded France's attack, especially
25-year-old Bayern winger Olise for mirroring his creative style with dribbles
and precise passes.
France coach Didier Deschamps called their
matchup the semifinal's key battle, saying it could decide the outcome between
Spain's revenge bid and France's star power.
Real Madrid legend Claude Makelele even pushed his club to sign Olise, calling him a throwback to childhood football magic with talent and effectiveness.
