@nainoafc2: Yamal wasn’t GREAT, but definitely had an impact #LamineYamal #Spain #FIFAWorldCup #Barca

Fares :

He got that Steph Curry effect

Carlos :

If you ask me, having 2-3 men on you to allow your teammates to get through the defense easier is a HUGE IMPACT

Diego :

Majority of people really don’t understand football their only metric of rating is g/a Olmo and Yamal did so much just by being in the field

rebro563 :

Exactly. It’s a team sport. Everyone does their part

mexi :

Lamine played 600+ minutes, if would’ve won without him and he did nothing, then ion think he would’ve played 600+ minutes. Most minutes played in knockouts

mrmoziss :

It’s also exactly what his coach asked him to do

bekwem :

if they coulda won without him, they wouldnt have played him at every opportunity possible WHILE fresh off injury

Edgar :

￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ :

Lamine literally opens up plays for the other players

sunjay kn®️ :

the second goal against France explains everything .. don't be afraid we are coming for that ballon do'r 😂..

Copacabana :

Lamine has a gravitational pull that’s drags in 2-3 players and creates space. Most goals were scored from the space he created

klapzz :

From Yamal started playing for Spain national team Spain Haven't lost a match

Prince_general4 :

His job wasn’t to score but to distract the opponent

💕💚 :

Yea people don’t understand the attention yamal forces other teams to put on him which created chances for his teammates to succeed which they did and then Spain defense/midfield holds it own every wc great team ball but if curtouis don’t get injured does spain still win is what people should say

Brittanywearsthecrown👑 :

He was a utility player and created space and lanes for his team.

waryrzgar :

Spain’s system was heavily team oriented, no player shined that much even when they played at their top levels 3 or 4 of them did it together

Travel guy :

Imagine people don’t understand that football is a team sport, not an individual sport. Norway played really well towards the end, but one player’s selfish decision cost them the win. Some players seem to care more about their own success than the team’s success.

dettybros :

Most people don’t understand that football is deeper than they see.

Kerblamnam :

Everyone only sees goals and assists. It's like this in every sport it's so insufferable 😭

Tizedboy 🇹🇿 🇩🇪 :

His presence on the pitch alone is enough because he can do something crazy at any time.

⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢ :

idk if yall realise this but he was played with cooked hamstring, the coach knows exactly that teams guard him with 2-3 people on him and he uses this to play better as overall team like its so obvious

Jacob Deitz :

100%…such a crazy take. The reason Spain dominated that World Cup is because they were all for one, and one for all.

(PRINCE OF CORTIS) JJU 🖤👑 :

tell em 😭 yamal was also injured and always pushed on the ground by those 30-40 yo grown men so he created chances for his teammates to score he wasn't selfish to try and score himself with 2 defenders Infront of him no way people are trying to downplay him

Sammy :

Lamine is a huge reason for Spain’s win against Portugal. Everyone know Nuno Mendes is a huge attacking threat for Portugal. But in that game the one time Mendes went up to attack when he lost the ball Spain immediately got it to Lamine and he was on a counter attack. Nuno Mendes stayed home to defense Lamine the rest of the game and Portugals attack was lacking after that.
