Some statements made by Barcelona's young talent, Lamin Yamal, before El Clásico, further intensified the rivalry between the teams. Real Madrid midfielder Orelen Tchouaméni stated that he took the situation quite simply and that even these words gave them strength.
In an interview with journalists, the footballer reacted to Yamal's provocative remarks about Real Madrid, emphasizing that he considers such situations a natural process in football.
"I even liked it. Such conversations give the game a special spirit and warm up the atmosphere. It is precisely such passions that we should feel when we enter the field as an opponent. In my childhood, I witnessed many similar moments at El Clasico. This is the charm of football," said Tchouaméni.
According to him, Yamal's words had no malicious intent; the young footballer simply expressed his feelings. "I think these were truly ill-intentioned words. If Lamin wants to say something, there's no problem. The main battle will be in the game itself. And we won there," the French footballer added.
As a reminder, the first El Clásico match of the current season ended 2-1 in favor of Real Madrid. This result gave the Madrid side a significant advantage on their way to the championship.
Analysts emphasize that the composure of leaders like Chuameni in such situations is crucial for maintaining a stable atmosphere within the team. This situation once again demonstrated the experience and mental stability of Real Madrid's players.
Even after this, Yamal continues to play in key matches for his team. Despite his young age, his active participation and character display in such matches are inspiring hope for Barcelona fans.
Thus, the "war of words" between Yamal and Chuameni further heated up the atmosphere of natural competition in football - however, as Chuameni emphasized, the result is decided only by the field.
