Denmark defender Rasmus Kristensen has said he is ready to face Spain youngster Lamine Yamal in today’s UEFA Nations League clash.
Softfootball added that the Eintracht Frankfurt defender is looking forward to testing himself against one of the brightest young talents in world football.
Yamal has continued to attract attention with his pace, skill, confidence, and maturity on the ball despite his young age.
Speaking with Marca, Kristensen praised the Barcelona winger and admitted that what Yamal does on the pitch is almost frightening.
The Danish defender described Yamal as a special talent and said he is excited about the chance to come up against him.
Kristensen also said he is prepared for the challenge if he is selected to mark the Spanish star during the match.
He explained that facing a player of Yamal’s quality is a chance to prove himself and show his defensive ability on a big stage.
The Denmark international added that he hopes to deliver a strong performance and make sure Yamal does not get the better of him.
The Nations League fixture is expected to be a tough test for Denmark, with Spain’s attacking quality likely to cause problems.
For Kristensen, however, the focus is clear: stay disciplined, compete strongly, and show that he can handle one of Europe’s most exciting young players.
