Yamal Boosts Spain’s Confidence Ahead Of France Clash In World Cup Semis
After defeating Belgium 2-1 in the quarterfinals, Spain forward Lamine Yamal says his team will face France in the FIFA World Cup semifinal fearlessly.
Two of the best teams in the competition will square off in Dallas. France is hoping to make it to the FIFA World Cup final for the third time in a row, while Spain hopes to maintain their recent dominance over Les Bleus after winning their previous two meetings.
“There are two possibilities: either they reach three World Cup finals in a row, or we beat them three times. I don’t know what might happen, but we’re not afraid at all,” Yamal said after Spain’s victory, a Friday report on the FIFA website disclosed this.
“I’m really happy with the win. Back in the semi-finals again. That’s what we came here for – to play these matches and win them. Now it’s time to rest and start thinking about the match against France.”
“Obviously I wanted to score because it helps the team, but I don’t go out onto the pitch thinking about that. If I win the World Cup, I don’t think anyone’s going to remember how many goals I’ve scored or missed.”
“If we win, we’ll all be happy. If I win the player of the match award, all the better, but above all, I want the team to win.”
“I know that my runs draw in a lot of opponents and that I can leave a team-mate unmarked. The important thing is that we’ve come here to win, and anything I can do to help – even if I don’t touch the ball in a move – will be a good thing.”
“I think the whole goal business has got into everyone’s heads, and we won the European Championship with me scoring just one goal. I only scored one goal then, and I’ve already scored one this time. They can rest easy.”
We now sit back and patiently await the outcome, eager to see which team will emerge victorious in this exciting battle on the world stage.
