The former France international has been left impressed by the playing style of champions Spain at the recently concluded European Championship and also pointed out how he loved watching 17-year-old <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/lamine-yamal-squad-number-barcelona-euro-2024-lionel-messi-no-10/blta8a4730903846c67#cs5609c97b040c304e" target="_blank">Lamine Yamal</a> in action for La Roja.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Cantona sang the praises of the young winger while also sharing some valuable advice to help Yamal grow as a footballer. Yamal started in all seven matches for Spain at Euro 2024 where he scored once - the important equaliser against France in the semi-final - and provided four assists.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Speaking to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5622243/2024/07/20/eric-cantona-manchester-united-takeover-redundances-working-from-home/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>, the 58-year-old said, "I admire the style of play of Spain and having a player like Yamal is a real treat because you never know what he's going to do. He surprises everyone with his skills every time he steps on the field. His vision, technique, and decision-making are top-notch. I absolutely love it."He added, "My advice is to enjoy the game, have a passion for football, and truly love the sport. The ball should be your friend, and having that special bond with it is truly magical. The ball is not your enemy. Unfortunately, many players see it that way. When you watch Lamine Yamal play, you can see that he treats the ball like a friend, maybe even like a brother."

WHAT ERIC CANTONA SAID

After starring for his nation in the European Championship, the young attacker will take a well-earned break and as a result, he will not accompany the Catalan giants on <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-pre-season-2024-tour-fixtures-results-tickets-watch/blt0c72df7089cf4ac7" target="_blank">their trip to the United States</a> where they will play three friendly matches.
