Lamine Yamal, at just 17 years old, has been a standout player in the Euro 2024 tournament, showcasing his dynamic skills on the right flank for Spain. His impressive performance has created a dilemma for England’s head coach Gareth Southgate as he considers his tactical decisions for the final match on Sunday.
Southgate’s preferred choice for the left back position, Luke Shaw, has been dealing with injury issues and has only recently returned to the squad. With Yamal’s speed and ingenuity on the right side of Spain’s attack, Southgate must decide whether to stick with Shaw or make a change to strengthen the defense against the young Spanish talent.
Yamal’s impact on the tournament has not gone unnoticed, with England captain Harry Kane praising the young player’s fearlessness and skill on the field. Shaw, who scored early in the Euro 2020 final but could not secure the win for England, acknowledges the threat posed by Yamal and Spain’s other attacking players.
Spain’s head coach Luis de la Fuente has also recognized Yamal’s exceptional talent and natural ability on the field, highlighting the difficulty of achieving what he has done at such a young age. As Spain prepares to face England in the final, all eyes will be on Yamal and his impact on the game.
