This is what I’m getting at. Y’all are looking at level of coaching and competition. I’m looking at ability of the player.
If Yamal went to Saudi, but came back banging goals and making assists in Nation League games then why not include him.
If the player can play ball, they can play ball. Tournament football isn’t club ball. It’s only 8 games to win a WC, Euros etc
We act like once a player leaves Europe they forget how to play ball or they don’t know how to adapt.
I’m not saying have a full team of Saudi players, but 1 or two isn’t gonna break a team (as seen in the Euros with France and Spain). I mean Saudi Arabia beat Argentina in the last WC…
