“One of Messi’s greatest strengths was his ability to orchestrate the team,” Lopez explained, as cited by Tribuna.
“He could dictate play, whether from a deeper midfield role or cutting in from the right wing.
“Messi knew exactly when to take charge, accelerate the game, or step in when the team was struggling, saying, ‘I’m here, and I’m going to decide this match.’
Lopez emphasised that while Yamal has shown incredible promise, he still needs to develop this aspect of his game.
“That level of game management is something Lamine is still working on, but with time, I’m confident he will master it,” the 44-year-old concluded.
