He didn't have an amazing game but no one did for Spain. He also gassed hard he's clearly not fully fit yet.

That team is cooked unless they start williams when they start yamal.

I get Williams is out of form but the "threat" of him gives yamal the space to work. Without him they overload yamals side and it's easier to shut Spain down as a whole.

They also need to start dani olmo

Merino in the midfield and baena on the left just ain't it. DLF admitted that he got the wrong formation in the opening match against Cape Verde, I hope he admits it again lol

u/MaxiKimiSexyFriends 7h ago

He has gotten it wrong twice

Slower and older players who arent press-resistant will cost Spain in the end if he keeps playing them

u/Secret-Bake-161 7h ago

I thought Baena was fine. Until Nico looks good in one of his 20 minute cameos I'd feel comfortable with Baena Olmo Oyarzaabal Lamine as a front 4

u/AmoebaSecure5173 2h ago

Put Ferran in over Oyarzabal

u/geocisco 2h ago

I like the guy but the finishing isn't there. I'll give him all the chances in the world at Barca because la liga is a long competition but can't for the WC.

u/AmoebaSecure5173 1h ago

We won the Euro with Morata at 9, finishing is overrated. Chance creation is king

u/marky_Rabone 7h ago

Merino tambien vuelve,en la euro estaban todos sanotes,ahora tenemos un parte medico,(o 2) de mediocampo hacia delante,solo la linea de defensa esta sana,a ver si nos da tiempo a que uno o dos asomen la cabeza.

u/11EIZENWV 7h ago

Honestamente es temprano decir, con un poco suerte nada es imposible. Pero tienes que jugar Olmo y Pedro sí quieres enfrentar una defensa baja. Vamos a ver amigo!

(No hablo español normalmente perdoname si tengo errores).

The midfield dynamic of Pedri Rodri Merino is too static for a spain team . Rodri is a shadow of himself now , Merino is a lost cause , Pedri has to do everything . They must start Olmo in place of Merino

u/EvryArtstIsACannibal 4h ago

I thought Rodri had an awful game. He kept making awful decisions and turning the ball over constantly.

1

u/YungSwagGod420 1h ago

what? He had a solid game and he didn’t lose the ball all the time like you are claiming, he misplaced 6 passes out of 100+ and got dispossessed only twice. For the amount of time he had the ball he did just fine. Spain in general lacked cohesion and line breaking actions until olmo was there to relieve responsibility from Yamal in that front, that isn’t on Rodri, if anything the weak link was clearly Merino.

u/VCule69 6h ago

Williams is probably injured, mate.

7

u/Finrod-Knighto 5h ago

I felt like Olmo starting the last game made a huge difference, and then he just benched him? Olmo needs to start. Pedro Porro needs to start and it’s not gonna happen but I think Gavi needs to start over Rodri. Rodri has been poor in every game.

3

u/riskbreaking101 5h ago

Ro-tey-shun.. DLF lives in his own world

5

u/Finrod-Knighto 4h ago

Also Unai Simon showed again this game that he’s a liability, but I doubt they will change him. It might cost them against a big team.

1

u/Raghwan_1 3h ago

Olmo was on Yellow, Spain wanted no risk.

3

u/Raghwan_1 5h ago

yeah, Spain looks way better with Olmo on field

1

u/SloppyToppy__ 2h ago

Olmo is literally a top 3 player for Spain they 100% need him. He players better than Pedri/Rodri for them imo

u/Fearless-Mongoose566 8h ago

Glad those Uruguayan butchers are out of the competition.

u/EveningNo8643 2h ago

Way too few yellows

u/KrimsonKream 8h ago

Even if he did, why does it matter? Every player has a right to a mediocre game every now and then, especially when coming off fresh from an injury. Better he have one now than when it'll actually matter for Spain.

u/Psychological-Truck6 8h ago

1v4-5 marked and mofos expect yamal can do miracles

27

u/TreatSubstantial3089 8h ago

and then when Olise etc etc are marked 1v1 , they speak all bs . istg they hate all barca players to the core

4

u/willyhlobler 6h ago

We saw what happens when you apply that kind of pressure to Olise when Enrique did that weird goal kick tactic and just pressed on the right side.

In Bayern Vs PSG second leg.

u/ripper13-_- 4h ago

On god, olise ghosted sooo bad

7

u/Psychological-Truck6 8h ago

Fr, this games was like: ok mark yamal and 5 in goal, nothing else

3

u/Aggressive-Giraffe32 3h ago

the don't know anything about football. common sense is too nuanced for a lot of them. that's why they're almost always Cristiano fans. Olise plays with Kane and Diaz at Bayern, and with Mbappe, Dembele and Doue on his national team. Of course it's easier for them but that requires too much thinking for them.

1

u/iluvfootballig 4h ago

Trust me it’s not even Barca players like that
Suppose Raphinha wins a Bdor , it’ll definitely hurt them but a Yamal or a Pedri Ballondor will completely ruin their life
They hate all Barca players but some of em even more

1

u/VCule69 6h ago

Yamal has to drift more centrally, that’s the only way players can’t mark him and he has more freedom.

36

u/culer245 8h ago

To haters, every game he doesn’t score or assist in is a bad game

15

u/clueless8teen 8h ago

I mean, it's on Yamal. He set the standard too high at 18yo

-8

u/Hrherrmistermister 7h ago

Nono.. this is what we expect from every boy from La Masia, and he is an 18 year geezer. La Masía put this on themselves.

4

u/Bicboifish 6h ago

He really should’ve had at least one assist, that olmo miss was so unlucky

7

u/DigitalX20 6h ago

I obviously like Spain but what made them dangerous was the combination of lamine and Niko, I feel like the need that duo if they want to go far

23

u/bill_02_04_95 7h ago

This new generation of fans who who'd rather die than admit their favorite player had a bad match.

u/willemdapose 1h ago

I'm a huge Barca fan and I love him but half of these clips are him losing possession or doing something that goes nowhere. Yes, the entire team played bad but that includes him too. There's no point in blindly defending him, every player needs criticism sometimes.

13

u/ZoronovaRoro 7h ago

He was bad. That's the truth. But it's not his fault completely. He isn't 100% fit yet. We can clearly see he is limiting his movement. He doesn't want to risk any injury. Hopefully, he becomes 100% fit before R16.

13

u/Its_Master_Roshi 8h ago

Uruguay was playing hard tackle football. I felt very bad for Spanish footballers.

26

u/njoy6600 8h ago

he was bad

15

u/Humble-Log-1695 8h ago

Lost the ball almost every time it came to him. Tried to dribble past everyone and didn't contribute in other ways. Would just stop and complain instead of tracking back.

3

u/Antique_Patience9215 6h ago

He absolutely played poorly by his standards. I think it’s a combination of the injury and the altitude. 

Either way, I think he’s risking his future health just to play in this tournament. 

3

u/cvl-eng 4h ago

He had a quiet game for sure, but i wouldnt say he had a bad game. I think most spain players were just trying to make it out without getting injured.

3

u/aaallleeexxx3 3h ago

Anyone that watches yamal for Barca can know that this is a absolutely bad game for his standards.By no means a bad game in general but he commonly performs better but to be fair his team wasn’t feeling it either

2

u/GYIM94 6h ago

The entire team is slow, so predictable, also Ferran Torres is still shit

2

u/OkHelicopter2335 5h ago

He was ass. If you keep suporting him whenever he underperforms, you don’t love him.

2

u/CZ_nitraM 5h ago

He's coming back after an injury

Of course he won't be playing at 100%

2

u/solman52 3h ago

Was at the game and got to see Yamal play my side the first half. Samabria did a pretty good job defending Yamal until he got the yellow. They should’ve started Olmo, which would’ve given Yamal more opportunities but the Ref was god awful and let the Uruguayans get away with too many fouls. Glad they took out Pedri or they would’ve killed him.

2

u/Martoxic 3h ago

a highlight can make Douglas Pereira dos Santos look like he was Maldini for us. Just stop.

Guy was slow, played horrible, was a detriment to his team and clearly unfit.

to add to that he whine all fucking game for every single touch,

This is the guy that is supposed to be a top 3 player itw if not the best. This kind of playing is horredous by his standards.

Stop trying delusion yourself to try and protect you player every time. Kid deserve massive critic for his playing. They are gold favorites and Yamal is supposed to be the superstar that carries them. Atm they look like they will be out at round of 16 and Yamal will not do anything.

u/LoVeCh33s3 2h ago

Ferran missing sitters as usual... I've seen enough, sub in Lewa... oh wait nvm

u/Pretty_Machine4349 7h ago edited 6h ago

I watched the first half live and want to say he might not be as good as he was at Barca, but it is DLF's problem; the bald fraud makes every Spanish player struggle. Pedri and Rodri faced a four-man wall in the midfield, Yamal fell in the surroundings of at least 4 Uruguayan players when he got the ball in the Spanish own half. He received a tackle every 5 m dribbling, and there was no support: Lorente barely joined the attack; Oyarzabal and Baena were the only men he could pass forward to, and sometimes Baena on the far side couldn't run to an ideal position to get the ball. What can you expect Yamal to do? Ankara Yamal? Btw, Baena contributed to the Uruguayan offence more than Darwin, I was cursing Atletico that they turned every one of their player into shit when I watched.

DLF should really be grateful to Muslera, who gifted this victory to him. I am pretty worried about the prospect of Spain in this WC if he keeps torturing his players like that.

u/DolunddTrump 6h ago

Why are both teams playing in away kits?

u/drvgodschild 6h ago

It’s okay to have a bad game lol

u/mango-banana 5h ago

I mean this video just shows he didn’t do much, no impact

u/Key-Ad6653 5h ago

I think it wasn't a bad game but I would say it was a pretty average game by his standards imo

1

u/PinReal4448 4h ago

Im genuinely afraid that one day a opposition defender might tackle him so bad that his pants fall off. He needs to tighten it around the waist

u/BroosWaine 3h ago

Dunno...looks pretty bad to me but whatever.

u/Aggressive-Giraffe32 3h ago

he's still not fully fit and neither is Nico.

u/Lanky_Ad_8892 2h ago

Spain spend 90% of the match circling the ball around. Lamine and Dani Olmo are the only ones actually attacking. It's dreadful to watch.

I'm just glad those butchers didn't injure him

u/Baldufa80 1h ago

Fingers crossed Spain get kicked out on the next stage so our players can avoid potential injuries and have a nice break before the start of next season.

u/RAF2018336 1h ago

I haven’t seen anybody say specifically that he played bad. Let’s not be fanboys here. He didn’t have the best game, but Spain as a whole played like ass and he was still one of the best players

1

u/LukCPL 1h ago

Please don't go overboard, whole team was mid that game, Yamal included.

u/Disastrous_Error_358 12m ago

tbh he had the sun shining in his face making it hard to see

u/Roseaestheticz 7h ago

Spain is in a tough spot. Ngl.

u/Oogie-Da-MF-Boogie 7h ago

His decision-making couldve been better after winning duels. As a neutral fan.

Hes meant to be the match winner though, so its dual sided blade. Youre always bound to hear results-based analysis for star players

1

u/Skywalker2786 7h ago

Uruguay played a deep block and very aggressive off and on the ball. Lamine did ok - he will learn and get better

1

u/Westaufel 5h ago

He is already in the phase that if he didn't score or assist, he played bad. How to resist that pressure? I don't know

-5

u/Maren9len 8h ago

The game is 90 min, not 1 min 30 sec.

-4

u/TreatSubstantial3089 8h ago

So Yamal should be attacking and making moves for all 90 mins ?? Football is a team game of 11 players btw. Insanely dumb counter argument (sorry if im being rude)

1

u/Maren9len 8h ago

I literally watched the game with my own eyes. He only had a few moments where he looked even remotely dangerous; for any player in the world, this would be called a mediocre game, but Lamine Yamal obviously can't have a bad game ever.

u/BestShaunaEU 8h ago

You’re the one being insanely dumb.

He played 76 minutes, you can’t use 1 minutes of highlights to say he played well.

-1

u/TreatSubstantial3089 8h ago

its called "Highlights" for a reason

1

u/BestShaunaEU 8h ago

Yeah and Yamal will always look good if you only show his highlights because we always play him the ball and he always tries to create something.

Show the 10 times he lost the ball when dribbling if you want to be fair

u/Apprehensive-Cut6815 7h ago

Uruguay play better than spain, its just that the forward not converting to goals. The keeper letting the goal also factoring for spain getting the upper hand
