Khaberni - The star Lamine Yamal has stirred controversy again through a post on his official Instagram account, hours before the anticipated "El Clasico" in "La Liga".
The Barcelona player sent a strong message before the upcoming face-off against Real Madrid on Sunday in the Spanish League. The message indirectly responded to the criticisms that followed him over the past few days, after the controversy ignited by some of his statements which were described as offensive towards the royal club.
The post by Lamine Yamal stated, "The player who comes out of the neighborhood does not compete for fame, but for the future. He does not play for the spotlight, but plays so as not to go back. The real pressure is not on the field, but in the eyes of those who have never stopped believing in him. And when he scores a goal, he does not celebrate for himself, but because he knows that this goal could change everything... for him, for his family, and for his neighborhood. Fear? I left it in the park, it has died long ago."
Observers believe that the words of the young player, aged 18, serve to confirm his focus on his future and his determination to overcome the pressures that have accompanied him since his rapid rise to the first team, especially after the recent media controversy that triggered a wave of criticism from Real Madrid fans.
Lamine Yamal, one of the most prominent rising talents in Europe, enters El Clasico at the peak of his brilliance with Barcelona recently, and coach Hansi Flick counts on him to lead the team to a victory over Real Madrid.
