In a recent interview with Manchester United's official website, Manchester United's newest star in defense, Yoro, shared an anecdote from his soccer career and his thoughts on a few key opponents in his squad. Jolo has made a name for himself on the pitch with his great speed and physical conditioning, and his uneasy relationship with legendary Red Devils player Nani is of particular interest.
Talking about his youth, Yoro revealed an interesting comparison: "When I was young, a lot of people compared me to Nani. This was mainly because we both had great speed and I really liked the player. In fact, it was always a goal of mine to become a player like Nani. Of course, things are different now because I am a defender, but Nani is still my idol."
Yoro also shared his transition from striker to defender: "I used to be a striker, so my style of play then was completely different from now. I had good speed and height advantage, which allowed me to score a lot of goals on the offensive end. But as time went on, I gradually realized that I had a lot of potential on the defensive end as well, so I started to transition to defender."
When asked which player he likes to play against the most in a match, Yoro didn't hesitate to mention French starlet Mbappe: "I really enjoy playing against Mbappe. It's not only a rare challenge for me, but also a very important learning process. I benefit from his speed and skill, and I improve every time I play against him."
In addition, Jolo mentioned another opponent who impressed him, Aston Villa's star striker Watkins: "It's also great to play against Watkins. He's one of the very best strikers in the Premier League and it's always a tough competition against him. Such matches make me focus more on defense and make me improve in the game."
