Yamal es muy bueno si, el jugador mas importante junto con Pedri y Rodri, y Oyarzabal (2 goles y una asistencia jugando solo 45 min) pero recuerdo que Yamal tambien jugo contra Cabo Verde y no marcó la diferencia. El cambio en el segundo partido basicamente fue que aumento mucho la velocidad del balon Rodri y Pedri claves) debido a que los jugadores estaban mucho mas activos y eso , junto a jugadores mas tecnicos como lamine, Olmo y Baena.
En resumen, la clave fue una mayor velocidad del balon, mas importante aun que Lamine Yamal o cualquier otro jugador.
Spain will need a fresh and explosive Nico Williams on the left, to be considered a ”competitive” team this year
People only look at Yamal. I swear Oyarzabal is the most underrated player in the world. He's scored 14 goals and provided 7 assists in the last 13 matches with the Spanish National Team. hes like prime r9 when he plays for Spain
Spain has great players besides lamine yamal like pedri and rodri, what is this analysis? If ferran torres scores his chance again cape verde, that game ends the same way as this
What are these guys talking about ? Obviously Lamine is the best, but saying they don’t have other great players… wtf? Pedri is the best midfielder in the world, arguably Rodri best CDM in the world… Spain in 2010 didn’t particularly have a “match winner” and yet that is one of the best national teams Ever
I think the Guy on the right is clueless
With this squad France don't rely on Mbappe, I think olse is most important pkayer in France
Did the guy with the ponytail just put Pulisic at the same level than Messi, Ronaldo, Maradona, MBappe or Lamal?…. good lord
Dude looks like the Cabo Verde captain Pico Lopes.
Give me a breeeeeeaaaaak! The kid is amazing but he scored one goal off a pass from another guy who scored two!!! He did not have a HUGE impact on this game outside of just being there.
4:48 Sneaking pulisic in the conversation… naughty boy
Dani Olmo recognition button
LAMINE YAMAL🔥Star boy⭐ first match we missed him❤️🔥🔥Next GOAT sure🔥Look how result changed when lamine started the match in startinng eleven🔥🔥Pure class. 🔥And very important first goal🔥AND THE NEXT GOAT journey starts from here😌🔥first worldcup and first worldcup match as starting in starting eleven and scoring a GOAL🔥…..
The team was balanced today. that four man midfield on their first game was trash
No nos emocionemos tanto, el mundial para España empieza con el partido contra Uruguay este Viernes.
You guys are missing the point. The 2nd half was played differently by design. The game was won and the status of the game in the 2nd half was more like a training run with the intensity reduced by design. Had the game not been won by half time the 2nd half would have been played with the same intensity as the first 30 minutes regardless who is on the field. Spain can still beat anyone with or without Yamal. Yes of course they are better with Yamal on the field but they don't rely on 1 player. They have greatness all over the pitch.
Oyarzabal metió dos goles y asistió en otro en 24 minutos de que dependencia estamos hablando, Lamine es buenísimo pero no fue el mejor en este partido
What a ridiculous analysis 🙄
In 40 years of watching dozens of soccer programs, from four different countries… This is by far the one with the lowest level of understanding about the sport. They have no idea why things happen in any game.. They just parrot the same platitudes, over and over and over again. They didnt even scrape the surface of what was different between this Spanish performance vs the last one.
Pulisic, Soccer and the same sentence with legends … fire him and put him in jail
Qatar, KSA and Bahrain… The AFC (Arabic Fulus Confederation) payers were finally battered… Hahaha…. FIFA should have been bribed too so they could win…. 😂😂😂
Look, Yamal is our star, the creativity he brings in a stale game is what we need when possesion doesnt cut it, but please talk abt the rest of the team, it was a completely different performance. U could just tell the previous draw got the team and the players fired up, the preasure, the vertical game, the effort, it wasn´t present agaisnt cape verde and it was today. Didn´t also understand why u guys talked abt the second part drop off in energy, its obvious, we have a lot of injuries and the game was DONE, no chance we are risking an injury.
Oyarzabal Was The man of the match. Yamile played well but was not the only strong point.. second half Spain just relaxed.. was not only because he went off
Oyarzabal 2 goals and assist, hello? Man of the match.
Spain’s really missing Fermin Lopez though
Its ok having more Nations in this thing, but all it has done is make the game quality drop.
Do we really need "one way traffic" games.
It is like watching an Attack vs Defence Training Session.
Embarrassing and Boring.
I would also love to know what took VAR "once again" so long to decide that the 5th Spain goal was offside…who really cared at that point, other than a Spaniard.
This is starting to remind me of the 70's, when we were getting 8/10:0 score-lines, because we had Nations in the thing that really should not have been there.
It is the main reason why the World Cup Finals was cut down on Nations, so it would be more competitive and there were no "Whipping-Boys" in it.
Now we have…well…."this" and it is basically back….not good.
El mejor jugador del partido fue Mikel Oyarzabal jugo los mismos minutos que Yamal, y entró por sus dos goles y una asistencia en 30 minutos como el primero de la historia del futbol en conseguirlo. Es un delantero centro que puede jugar de 10 o donde le pongas, tiene una virtud impresionante, no es muy rápido en velocidad pero es muy muy técnico y rápido tomando decisiones.
please please , any premiership league team, please sign OYARZABAL, the most underated player in europe , be alieve me he is really good and will be golden boot in this world cup
So much talk about lamine, but oyarzabal scored 2 goals and had an assist 😂.
