Yamal said he is determined to deliver a strong performance against Argentina in the final, which falls on a holiday. The young footballer stated:
I have complete trust in my Lord; He will make my dream of playing a key role in leading my team to World Cup glory come true. It is very hard to describe the love I have received from all over the world during the World Cup.
