Jorge Mendes, well known for managing Cristiano Ronaldo's career, responded to recent criticism aimed at his client Lamine Yamal. The young Barcelona forward has faced scrutiny over his media presence and comments made before the Clasico against Real Madrid.
Mendes expressed surprise over the level of criticism the 18-year-old has received. He emphasized the importance of supporting Yamal rather than fueling the controversy.
"I don't understand all the fuss surrounding Lamine Yamal. What we have to do is support him and help him as much as possible, because he is a great asset to the club."
The agent assured that Yamal remains fully concentrated on his football career. He also highlighted the efforts of the player’s team to shield him from excessive media pressure.
"Having everyone watching you is a big responsibility. He is handling it very well and we must continue to help him."
Barcelona has conveyed a calm message regarding the situation. However, they have implemented measures to limit the young star's public appearances to reduce media exposure.
Despite the media noise, Yamal impressed with an exceptional game against Club Brugge, showcasing his promising talent on the field.
