Spain, now they need the best Yamali, Luis De La Fuente's plan to have him at 100% form

The day after a match is always one of reflection. Spain did not expect this handbrake start to the World Cup; Cape Verde was not underestimated, but it was not thought that it would defend so well against a team that had possession of the ball for most of the match.
And in fact, the Africans were very good, while the Spaniards were less so; there were several chances that were stopped by a spectacular Vozinha in collaboration with his center-backs. The Iberians' pressure was constant, but not suffocating for the opponents. The fans asked for Yamal and the 18-year-old entered in the last 20 minutes, gave the game an impulse, forced Bubistan to put 2 players behind to stop him, served Dani Olmos, but it was not enough.
Among the topics of the next day is precisely the condition of Lamine Yamal. How is he? If Luis De La Fuente waited 71 minutes to activate him, it means that he could not play more. The plan was to activate him without being affected by the result. It was expected that Yamal would play 20 minutes maximum half an hour and that's what happened.
Against Saudi Arabia, the playing time will increase, but it is not clear whether De La Fuente will decide to start from the first minute or not. The program predicted another part-time activation, perhaps the entire second half, and then be a starter in the final group match against Uruguay.
It is certain that in terms of athletic condition Yamal cannot be in the best condition. He had not played since April 22, when he suffered an injury to the femoral biceps. Almost 2 months without playing an official match are felt especially if the activation is prolonged. In the match with Cape Verde in 24 minutes, Yamal touched 36 balls only 6 less than Gavi who played 71 minutes and 9 more than Oyarzabal. He was sought after by his teammates who, seeing the difficulties in penetrating the Cape Verde bunker, trusted him as the best dribbler. Lamin gave 5 crosses and attempted 5 dribbles, two completed and 3 failed, which shows that he still has to find his brilliance. The lost balls were 12, the Barcelona star often strained the maneuver because time was flying and the feeling was growing that Spain would not be able to score. One shot on target and one shot on target is his balance in shots on target. In general, in terms of athleticism, Lamine Yamal is more or less at 50%. Everything is normal after a long period of inactivity. It takes time to reach the most optimal condition and the duration of the World Cup will be a great help; it will give Yamal the opportunity to be in ideal shape in the second phase and fresher than the other stars who have been on the field for 90 minutes since the first challenges.
Meanwhile, mentally, Lamine is already 100%. When he entered the field in Monday's game, he never gave the impression that he had any signs of injury. He made several breaks, did not spare himself, and made it clear that he had completely overcome his fear. Surely the affection of the people will motivate him a lot. Coming by bus to the Atlanta stadium, he probably saw two giant graphics of him on a skyscraper and another building in the city. When he started warming up, the audience went crazy and shouted with enthusiasm the moment he entered the playing field. When he left the stadium, Lamine went to the mixed zone with his face blackened from dissatisfaction with the result, just like his teammates. Those who asked about his physical condition were told that he felt fine. Now he just wants to show it on the field.
