Everyone's talking about Yamal, and Zlatan singled out the other player: 'Did we watch the same game?'

In the second round of the World Cup, Spain defeated Saudi Arabia 4-0, with Lamine Yamal scoring his first goal at the tournament and drawing significant attention. However, former player Zlatan Ibrahimović highlighted another player, Mikel Oyarzabal, who contributed significantly to the match by scoring two goals and providing an assist but remained overshadowed by Yamal's spotlight. Ibrahimović criticized the modern football narrative for focusing too much on individual stars like Yamal, while undervaluing players who contribute structurally to the team's performance. He emphasized that while Yamal is a remarkable talent, the success of teams like Spain relies on players like Oyarzabal, whose efforts often go unnoticed despite their crucial role in the game.
