Experience rule takes 10 from Yamal and gives it to Olmo

Lamine Yamal, the 18-year-old sensation of the Spanish national team, will not wear the number 10 shirt at the World Cup, a number that will remain with Dani Olmo due to a strict internal hierarchy within the Spanish Football Federation. The entity follows an ironclad rule where the choice of numbers is strictly based on the number of matches played by the team, ignoring the current star status of the young striker. Despite being the main offensive name and the focus of global expectations, Yamal does not have the accumulated service time to claim the ultimate symbol of creativity.
