Following the controversy sparked by Lamine Yamal\u2019s comments about Real Madrid during the \u201cKings League\u201d last Thursday\u2014and Barcelona\u2019s subsequent defeat in El Cl\u00e1sico\u2014the Catalan club has decided to monitor its young star\u2019s activities closely to prevent similar incidents in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At a difficult moment for the Spanish international, who finds himself under intense public scrutiny, Yamal was scheduled to attend a promotional event on Tuesday for OPPO<\/strong>, the smartphone brand he represents as an ambassador. The event was meant to unveil the company\u2019s new model, the Find X9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In light of his recent remarks\u2014which generated significant controversy and placed him under heavy pressure\u2014many voices within the football world have stressed that a player of his age and profile should not be exposed to such situations. It appears that lesson has now been learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While influencers such as Iris Mikel<\/strong>, David Su\u00e1rez<\/strong>, and Alex Ortega<\/strong> appeared in OPPO\u2019s Instagram Stories to promote the launch of the new OPPO Find X9<\/strong>, the club decided at the last moment that it would be best for Yamal not to appear in another public event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Barcelona requested that the young player skip the launch, and he agreed, understanding that his previous comments\u2014though perhaps blown out of proportion\u2014had created unnecessary controversy ahead of the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u clash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On another note, it seems the club was unable to prevent the release of Yamal\u2019s interview with French streamer AmineMaTue<\/strong>, which was recorded last week and is reportedly set to be published later this evening, despite the club\u2019s preference to delay or avoid it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source:<\/strong> Sport<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Following the controversy sparked by Lamine Yamal\u2019s comments about Real Madrid during the \u201cKings League\u201d last Thursday\u2014and Barcelona\u2019s subsequent defeat in El Cl\u00e1sico\u2014the Catalan club has decided to monitor its young star\u2019s activities closely to prevent similar incidents in the future.
