In the preview, the absence of Dani Olmo, who watched the game from the stands due to the concussion he suffered against Serbia, was confirmed, and there was much talk about Luis de la Fuente’s minute management, especially Lamine Yamal. The Barça footballer had to undergo tests before leaving Madrid for Belgrade as he is still suffering from discomfort from a blow he sustained in Barça’s last game against Valladolid. Despite this, he started both matches, as well as in Switzerland, in a Stade de Genéve that showed regrettable conditions.
Lamine only played the first half. This helped him to provide an assist on 0-1 and to start the action on 0-2. He is Spain’s most decisive player while he is on the green, something that also proves Luis de la Fuente right, who can hardly do without his best footballer.
But the game changed after Le Normand was sent off. Pedri, who was also a starter, was sacrificed and Vivian joined. The Canarian only played 23 minutes against the Helvetians. At 10, Spain suffered physically and Lamine tired, more focused on sentencing than defending.
That’s why De la Fuente preferred Ferran Torres on the right in the second half. El Tiburón is a more sacrificial player in defense and the Riojan coach reckons Foios will serve him more in the second half. He proved him right with a goal and an assist
