Ferdinand: Yamal is the best in football today, and Mero did not have such a level at this age

Recently, Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand praised Yamal in an interview with TNT Sports, saying that Yamal is now the best player in the world.

He said: "At present, the best player in the world is Yamal, and I love him very much. His way of playing is different, like a mature player of 28 years old playing, but in fact he is only 17, which is incredible."

"His decision-making ability at critical moments is amazing, as if everything is under control, without any pressure. I witnessed his performance in the Champions League semi-finals against Inter Milan, and those 45 minutes are the best I have seen in years."

When asked about comparisons with Messi and Ronaldo, Ferdinand said: "We just talked about Messi and Ronaldo, but they didn't show that level at the age of 17. I have never seen anyone like him. Playing. Yamal is not like Ronaldo. He does not rely on speed and rhythm, but confuses his opponents by constantly changing rhythms. He can slow down quickly and get faster, and this change is elusive. "

Ferdinand further analyzed Yamal's game understanding ability: "He always plays with his mind and finds the best pass opportunity. At his age, he can both shoot and assist teammates."

" Usually young players tend to score goals, but Yamal will make the best choice based on the situation. If you need a pass, he will pass the ball without hesitation. If you have a chance to shoot, he will also shoot decisively. He is like an artist, and left-footed players always have a unique charm, which is crazy."
