European Cup group stage strong dialogue, Spain vs Croatia. 3-0, Spain won a great victory and played a wonderful performance in the first game of the group of death. The 16-year-old Yamal started the game, sent out 1 assist, and dribbled 40 meters in 6 seconds, which left a deep impression on people. In his first appearance at the European Cup, Yamal delivered a satisfactory answer: he is the youngest player and youngest assister in the 64-year history of the European Cup.
This is undoubtedly a strong dialogue: Spain is ranked 8th in the world and Croatia is ranked 10th in the world. The focus of this battle is Yamal vs Modric - 16-year-old and 38-year-old, players of different eras, but they met in the European Cup.
For Yamal, the appearance is a record.
Spanish coach De La Fuente ranked Yamal in the starting lineup. This means that Yamal, who is 16 years and 338 days old, has become the youngest player in the history of the European Cup!
In the past year, Yamal has continuously broken records in Barcelona and the Spanish national team: the youngest player to play, score, and assist in the history of Barcelona; the youngest player to start and score in the history of the Champions League; the youngest scorer in the Spanish national team ...
came to Germany to play in the European Cup. As a junior high school student, Yamal had to bring homework and take online classes. Although Yamal is only 16 years old, he behaves maturely and seasonedly. Yamal plays the role of right winger and cooperates well with Real Madrid Carvajal. Before halftime, Yamal sent a pass and assisted Carvajal to score.
Yamal’s most exciting scene was undoubtedly the 64th minute of the game:
Faced with the pursuit and interception of four Croatian defenders, Yamal showed no fear and ran nearly 40 meters in 6 seconds! Young people are so confident and free and easy. Football requires the experience and stability of veterans, as well as the firepower and unreasonableness of young people.
Yamal, who plays as a right winger, faces the best defender in the 2022 World Cup and Manchester City star Gvardiol. In terms of speed and explosive power, Yamal "bullied" Gvadiol, the absolute main force under Guardiola, to be suppressed by a 16-year-old kid. This seems incredible.
From the data and performance point of view, Yamal clearly has the upper hand. Played 86 minutes, made 3 shots and 3 crosses, 3 successful dribbles, 3 threatening passes, and 6 touches in the opponent's penalty area. Calm and steady dribbling and passing, completely unlike a 16-year-old child.
If there is any regret - Yamal is still one goal short. Yamal was a little unhappy when he was substituted. However, the European Cup has just begun and Yamal has enough time to shine.
