Detonate the national derby conflict! TA: It seems that no one within Barcelona has the status to question Yamal

Football

El Clasico, Barcelona lost 1-2 to Real Madrid. Barcelona player Yamal caused controversy before and after the game. TA reports that no one within Barcelona seems to have the status to question Yamal.

Yamal called Real Madrid "complainers and robbers" during a live broadcast before the game, and mentioned Barcelona's 4-0 victory at the Bernabeu, which angered Real Madrid. In the end, these remarks "backfired", and Yamal's performance in the game was "disappointing" and seemed to have lost his "natural confidence". He had zero shots on target and lost the ball 22 times.

The conflict after the game pushed Yamal to the forefront. After the final whistle, Real Madrid captain and Spanish national teammate Carvajal refused to shake hands with Yamal and made gestures in front of him to accuse him of "talking too much." Courtois then stepped forward to accuse, and Vinicius also tried to get closer. The scene was chaotic for a while, and was eventually calmed down with the intervention of teammates and staff from both sides.

The article pointed out that this series of events exposed the "cruel reality" within Barcelona. It seems that "no one within the club has the status to question him, or provide the kind of harsh guidance that can affect his choices." At only 18 years old, Yamal is already the "most important figure" in Barcelona's football and business, and became the team's highest-paid player after renewing his contract in August.

This brings a dilemma to the club: it requires him to "perform extraordinary" on the field, but also hopes that he will "perform mediocre" off the field, which "often cannot get the best of both worlds."

Barcelona assistant coach Marcus Sorg said after the game that Yamal is still learning how to deal with boos and that Real Madrid did a good job defensively. The report also quoted club sources as saying that Yamal may not have completely gotten rid of the groin injury. This is a problem that needs to be "learned to be managed" and may "recur", which may affect his performance.

De Jong defended Yamal, criticizing Carvajal's gestures on the court as "adding fuel to the fire" and believing that he could have communicated through a private phone call. The article concluded by commenting that Yamal "had to learn the hard way what it meant to be in the spotlight" and that the incident would become "a defining moment in the new El Clasico feud."
