"However, the young winger has received some welcome support from Barcelona's defensive legend, Gerard Pique. In a recent interview, Pique has backed Yamal's lifestyle while admitting that the forward will improve with age. "Let's accept Lamine as he is. Obviously, he'll gain experience; no one is the same at 18 as at 38," said the former defender (h/t Jijantes) Talking about Yamal's comment on Real Madrid and the subsequent backlash from the Whites, Pique believes the club are desperate as they do not have a Yamal of their own. "As for the criticism from Madrid. It's understandable. They'd love to have a Lamine of their own," he said."
"Lamine Yamal has come under fire lately due to his lifestyle, which has caught the attention of Barcelona. The young forward has also made headlines with his recent comment on Real Madrid ahead of the Clasico, with the player accusing the team of 'cheating'. The comment has not gone down well with Real Madrid, who feel disrespected and will send Dani Carvajal to confront him after the game. Even the Barcelona camp sees Yamal's comment as 'stupid', which should put even more pressure on Yamal."
