Midfielder Rodri Guides Forward Lamine Yamal at the World Cup
In Brazil, preparing to play against France this Tuesday (7/14), Spain faces some challenges with young star Lamine Yamal. Captain and midfielder Rodri spoke about the Spanish attack after training in Dallas, recommending calmness during games.
La Roja has a recently victorious history: the last time they appeared in a World Cup final was 12 years ago, when they won the world title. A reunion with glory is at stake, but first, Yamal needs to improve his performance in the competition.
Returning to Calm
In public statements to the press after training, Rodri spoke about the anxiety that has affected some players. ‘He [Yamal] needs to calm down a bit of that anxiety he sometimes has of wanting to prove his worth,’ explained the Spanish captain.
Football Experience
At just 19 years old, Yamal is a young promise for Spain. He has started five of Spain's six World Cup matches and has only scored one goal so far.
Don't Forget to Ask
Question: How will Rodri help Yamal become more confident?
