Lamine Yamal Takes Messi’s No. 10 Shirt and Says It’s Now His Time
Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal has shared his thoughts after officially taking over the iconic number 10 jersey, once worn by club legend Lionel Messi. The young Spanish star made the remarks on Wednesday following the signing of a new long-term contract that ties him to the club until 2031.
During a special presentation led by club president Joan Laporta, Yamal expressed his pride in carrying on a legacy worn by greats like Messi, Ronaldinho, and Maradona.
“Messi laid the foundation with this shirt,” he said. “Now it’s my time. Every kid dreams of having something from players like Messi and Ronaldinho. I’ll do my best to keep that legacy going.” He also made it clear that he’s not feeling any pressure. “It’s just a new number,” he said, “but my goal remains the same.”
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
