"Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni has reportedly come up with a detailed tactical plan in a bid to try and stop Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal in next month's Finalissima. Yamal's Spain are set to take on Argentina on March 27 at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar, as the reigning European champions face the South American champions. The game will see Yamal come up against Lionel Messi for the first time and promises to be an intriguing affair."
"Scaloni has already been doing his homework for the match and is plotting how to stop Yamal. Nicolás Tagliafico is expected to play a key role up against the teenager but he will need help, according to Doble Amarillo. The Argentina boss plans to also field a "midfield with greater physical presence" and will task one of his players to "constantly drop back and provide cover" which will limit the space Yamal has to operate in."
Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni has devised a detailed tactical plan to limit Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal ahead of the Finalissima at Lusail Stadium on March 27. Nicolás Tagliafico is expected to lead the defensive work on Yamal while a midfield with greater physical presence will be selected to reduce space and influence. One midfielder will be assigned to consistently drop back and provide cover to help contain Yamal's runs. Spain are set to include Yamal in the squad, with hopes of closing the controversy from late 2025 when he withdrew from World Cup qualifiers for pubalgia treatment.
