Lamine Yamal and the Left-Back Mismatch
At 9:09 · chapter starts 7:00
Gary Lineker spots a tactical mismatch that could decide the game: France's left-back Lucas Digne is not known for his defensive solidity, and Spain have Lamine Yamal waiting on that side. Micah Richards says Yamal has shown flashes of brilliance but hasn't yet taken over a match the way everyone knows he can. The question of whether France start Digne or the more defensively robust Théo Hernández becomes a real tactical talking point. Mikel adds that Yamal knows how good he is and seems to be waiting for the right moment — and a free run at Digne in a World Cup semi-final could be exactly that moment.
