👀 The saviour comes on: Spain fans whistle Yamal on | OneFootball

Spain are struggling badly against Cape Verde. There is clearly a lack of creativity and also a bit of carefree boldness. Lamine Yamal has all of that. And plenty of it. However, Spain’s wonderkid had been injured for a long time, and his appearance in the World Cup opener was in doubt. 

After almost 70 minutes, the first whistles could already be heard. Above all because Spain coach Luis de la Fuente was making no move to bring the youngster on. The moment Yamal took off his warm-up shirt, there was a real shift in the mood. Huge applause as he came on.

One of the favorites for the title needs him to still avoid an embarrassing start to the tournament. With his very first two actions, the 18-year-old lit up the stadium. Suddenly, the atmosphere is completely different. It’s insane what an influence this boy has at his age in a major football nation.
