Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha has tipped Spain’s Lamine Yamal to become the “future Messi” ahead of the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina. The comments came during an appearance on CBS Mornings, where Vozinha discussed his experiences at the tournament and offered his analysis of the upcoming match.
Vozinha gained prominence during the World Cup with a series of impressive performances for Cape Verde, notably frustrating Spain during their group stage encounter. He contrasted the playing styles of the two finalists, describing Spain as a team that prioritizes possession and control, while Argentina plays with greater passion and heart.
When asked about the individual battle between Lionel Messi and Yamal, the 35-year-old goalkeeper predicted a significant future for the young Spanish winger. “These are the two best players in the world,” Vozinha stated, adding, “I even think Yamal will be the future Messi.”
Yamal, 16, has quickly become a key player for Spain, showcasing remarkable skill and composure beyond his years. He has already earned several appearances for Barcelona’s first team, and his performances at the World Cup have further cemented his status as one of the sport’s brightest young talents. Vozinha’s endorsement adds to the growing excitement surrounding the player’s potential. The goalkeeper’s assessment highlights the impact Yamal has already made on the international stage, suggesting he could follow in the footsteps of Messi as a global superstar.
