Lamine Yamal vs Endrick: The Upcoming Rivalry of the Era
After Lamine Yamal's outstanding performance with Spain, which has now reached the final of EURO 2024, it is inevitable to compare him with another player destined to conquer the football world, Endrick Felipe, who did not have the brightest of performances in this Copa América in his short career.
Lamine Yamal has played a total of 418 minutes, during which he has accumulated one goal and three assists, numbers that validate him as the tournament's top assister and one of Spain's key players. This situation is in stark contrast to Endrick, who, with only 124 minutes played in the Copa América, neither scored nor assisted in the competition. There is an even more damning statistic for the Brazilian: in Brazil's elimination, he only managed to make one pass, and it was the kickoff.
Some argue that age was a factor for Endrick, as at 17 years old, he struggled with being Brazil's main attacking option. However, Lamine Yamal's remarkable performances at just 16 years old are overwhelming for the Brazilian prospect. Is it just a matter of time before Endrick shines? Or is Lamine Yamal the footballer destined to be the next global star?
