He nevertheless highlights his power, speed and effectiveness in tight spaces, according to an interview reported by La Nouvelle Tribune.
RB Leipzig coach Martin Demichelis has praised the power, speed and technical ability of Yan Diomande, the Ivory Coast winger at Real Madrid, ahead of their Champions League meeting. In a media interview, Demichelis explained that he had worked with the player only briefly, having been appointed at Leipzig in July while Diomande was playing at the World Cup.
The Argentine coach believes Diomande can make a difference on either wing thanks to his ability to control the ball with both feet. He also believes that joining Real Madrid, one of the world’s most influential clubs, in his view, could help him take the next step.
Real Madrid are due to face Leipzig on 21 October in the third round of Champions League group-stage matches. Diomande had previously scored and provided an assist for the Spanish club in a victory already covered in our article on his performance for Real Madrid.
