I think another thing that's really important
skillful wingers in the past, people who take on their markers, people who go fast, people who maybe will cut inside and score a brilliant goal.
But I don't think we've seen many players playing in that kind of position who have so consistently made the right decision as Luminia Mahal does.
And I think that's one of the things that makes us think that this is a guy that's going to be a really good player for a very long time.
And maybe also this is a guy that can evolve and end up playing in a different position because I think he's
more intelligent on the pitch than traditionally wingers have been.
I think there's more variety to his game.
I think his ability to choose the moments is really striking as well.
I know this is obvious, I know everybody knows this, but once in a while it's worth reminding ourselves, he's still only 18.
You've got to try to blame a goalie somewhere.
Let me just go kind of play to the Spanish teams, really.
What Celta de Vigo are doing in Europe with a team full of Galicians and youth team players is fantastic.
And I saw a statistic today, and I'm going to hope that I haven't got this wrong.
There is no player in European football who's had more goal contributions in European football than Anthony, apart from Kylian Mbappรฉ, in the whole of Europe since Anthony arrived at Betis.
He has completely changed Betis over the last year and a half.
He, for me, should be right at the top of any list.
