Real Madrid star earns glowing praise from former teammate: ‘I just enjoyed watching him’

Former teammate Antonio Nusa lavished praise on Real Madrid's emerging winger Yan Diomande, stating he simply enjoyed watching the young Ivorian play. The 21-year-old Diomande has impressed since his £70m summer transfer from RB Leipzig, catching the eye with his impressive dribbling and ability to take on defenders. Nusa, who operated on the opposite flank to Diomande, noted the young player's extraordinary skill, highlighting that it had inspired him to incorporate elements of Diomande's game into his own.

Diomande's defensive awareness has also come under the spotlight recently, with the Norwegian winger's ability to support the left-back proving crucial in recent matches. His willingness to press high up the pitch was particularly evident in Real Madrid's 3-0 El Clasico victory over Barcelona, where he completed six of his eight attempted dribbles and won 12 duels.

Nusa's assessment has been borne out in the form of Diomande that has emerged at Real Madrid so far, with fans at the Santiago Bernabeu acutely aware of the young player's immense talent.
