Help Dembele hold the golden ball, Mendes won the UEFA MVP

After the UEFA Nations League final, facing reporters' questions, Spanish head coach Dela Fuent still looked tough and tried his best to defend his disciple Yamal: "He led the club to win everything, La Liga, the King's Cup, and the European Cup won with Spain last summer. For me, he has all the conditions to win the Golden Ball."

However, in the game, Delafu Although Ent relied heavily on Yamal, it was hard to say that he trusted Yamal: In the 106th minute, the Barcelona genius was replaced, and the one who was replaced was Pino, a genius who was reborn from the fire. From the perspective at that time, Yamal's physical fitness was gone, and the ending of the shot was not stable. At this time, a pure shooter came to help the team seize more scoring opportunities. In the penalty shootout, there was a more reliable choice. Delafuent's move seemed radical, but in fact he was seeking stability.

As a result, Spain only had 2 shots in the second half of overtime, one of which came from Pino. In the penalty shootout, Pino didn't have time to make a appearance. Morata, the team lost the penalty, Ruben Neves cut the throat with a sword, and the Portuguese successfully defeated Iberian compatriots, and won the European League championship for the second time in the team's history.

Of course, Yamal was replaced at the last moment, except for the above reasons, he was largely restrained by Mendes in the match. In the whole game, Yamal basically never played one-on-one. Even if his teammates helped him open up space and let him get the ball in the right position, he would appear more cautious when breaking through. He only tried twice in the game and succeeded in one of them.

Except for the defensive end, Mendes' most terrifying thing is the full range of restrictions on Yamal before his opponent takes the ball. In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Inter Milan used his bloody lesson to show that the best way to defend Yamal was to quickly limit his space before he got the ball. Mendes did this: in the whole game, the Spanish Golden Boy successfully faced the ground 17 times. Before adjusting the action with the ball, Mendes would grab a position to fight, which was also the fundamental reason why he failed to play the single-handed match in the whole game.

Of course, because Barcelona has only this top single player on the surface, Portugal will also make a lot of arrangements for him, such as the large-scale recovery of Neto's position, and the defense line is generally left with Mendes. He used to be on the right side, and the B-seat, who was more defensive, also came to the left side to prepare for the placement at any time. With the help of the whole team, Mendes did not disappoint his teammates. He completed two steals throughout the game and regained the ball 7 defensive end. His goal allowed Portugal to equalize the score. He was also ruthless in the penalty shootout, and he deserved the MVP of this game.

Relying on this championship, Mendes has won the Ligue 1, French Cup, Champions League and European League this season, and will go to the United States to compete for the Club World Cup this month. As a teammate in Paris, Dembele should thank Mendes for personally solving Yamal, provided that Mendes himself did not bring the Golden Ball Award and the World Footballer back to the Princes...

Of course, for Mendes, he has no intention of winning the Golden Ball Award. This season, he is the position of the world's number one left-back. After a period of destruction, he can transform his former goals into reality. The great Portuguese left-back has no other choice.
