🎙️| Zlatan Ibrahimović on Spain’s performance 👀🇪🇸
“I’m confused by modern football.
I watched Spain today and when the match ended, all I saw was people talking about Lamine Yamal.
Did we watch the same game?
For me, Mikel Oyarzabal was the one doing the dirty work. He was making the runs, creating space, pressing defenders and sacrificing himself for the team. But because he doesn’t do a few stepovers and have social media clips made about him, nobody wants to talk about him.
This is the problem with football today. Fans are more interested in building superstars than understanding what they’re watching.
Spain could win 5-0 and some people would still only talk about one player.
Lamine is a fantastic talent, but not every good performance belongs to him. Sometimes the player getting all the praise isn’t even the player who did the hardest job.
If Oyarzabal played the exact same game with Lamine’s name on the back of his shirt, people would be calling it a Ballon d’Or performance right now.
That’s the truth nobody wants to admit.”
🚨 Virgil van Dijk was seen wearing Messi's Argentina jersey earlier today.
38 years old. Still dominating the World Cup. Still earning the admiration of football's biggest stars.
Lionel Messi. 🐐🇦🇷
