Galway WFC Overview

Vinicius Junior did not need much time to send a strong message to his critics, after rediscovering his scoring touch in the colours of the Brazil national team against Japan, during the friendly between the two sides today, Saturday, at the National Stadium in Singapore.

Luis de la Fuente does not do flattery when it comes to imposing his decisions or defending his convictions. He may appear calm and flexible in most of his statements, but he possesses a strong personality that does not hesitate to confront when he feels there has been an overstep or an attempt to cast doubt on his choices. The recent Lamine Yamal affair provides a clear example of this personality, one that combines calm with decisiveness, and flexibility with the ability to put an end to any controversy he deems unjustified.

Spain's Marc Cucurella, the Real Madrid defender, expressed his understanding of England's Harry Kane winning the Ballon d'Or, but he would have preferred it to go to France's Kylian Mbappé or the young Spaniard Lamine Yamal, his team-mates at club and international level respectively.
