Barça starts to rein in Lamine Yamal

The decision comes after the controversy generated by the player´s statements in the Kings League of Gerard Piqué, when he spoke about Real Madrid. The episode, combined with the subsequent white victory in the classic, has led the club to monitor the player´s movements more closely to avoid new controversial situations.

Less media exposure for the culé number 10

The Spanish international was supposed to participate this Tuesday in the OPPO event, a brand he represents, where the new Find X9 Series model was being presented. However, the club preferred that he not attend, prioritizing a more discreet profile. The young player from Rocafonda caused a stir last week by hinting, in a chat with Ibai Llanos, that the white team "steals and complains", comparing it to the streamer Porcinos´ team. He also suggested that a similar blue-and-burgundy rout to last season´s could be repeated. His words sparked a wide debate in the football environment, where many believe that, given his young age and potential, he should not be exposed so much. It seems that both the player and the club have taken note of this. In the stories of OPPO´s Instagram, influencers like Iris Miquel, David Suárez, and Alex Ortega can be seen participating in the challenge to take the best photo of Lamine with the new device. Even the brand itself had promoted his presence. Nevertheless, FC Barcelona decided at the last minute that it was more prudent to avoid another public appearance by the forward. The Catalan club recommended their player not to attend the event, and he accepted the suggestion, aware that his recent statements —although perhaps their impact has been exaggerated— did not benefit the team before the match at the Santiago Bernabéu.

A video pending publication with a French streamer

Where Barça could not intervene is in the video recorded last week between Lamine Yamal and the popular French streamer AmineMaTue. The content, recorded earlier, will be published this afternoon at 8:00 PM, despite the club preferring to avoid it. The content creator himself announced yesterday on his networks the chat with the young footballer, making it practically impossible to cancel the publication with such little time left. In short, FC Barcelona seeks to protect its most promising talent, limiting his public exposure while trying to ensure he focuses exclusively on his growth on the pitch.
