Van Basten pointed out that Yamal often plays on the right side, but he doesn't receive the ball as much as he could. This limits his ability to contribute to the team.

However, if Yamal played in a more central role, Van Basten believes he would have a bigger impact on the game. He thinks Yamal would be able to create more scoring opportunities and be more important to the team.

Van Basten thinks that playing centrally would be a natural step for Yamal. He could use his skills to cross the ball into the box and score more goals.
