"Yamal claimed Madrid "steal" and "complain" in a YouTube interview in the build-up to El Clasico and was unusually quiet on his second league start since returning from injury, enduring boos from the crowd before appearing to exchange taunts with opposition forward Vinicius Junior after the final whistle in Barca's 2-1 loss."
"[Madrid] often defended two against one and wanted to prevent him from entering the box," said Sorg, via AS. "That's normal. He's young, he needs to improve and we're going to help him. He's coming off an injury. He needs rhythm, matches... it's normal. "He's 18 and we have to give him time and help him. Opponents try everything against him and they adapt to defend well. "We have to work harder and help him get the best out of him on the pitch. It wasn't easy but we talked at half-time about trying to find more one-on-one opportunities. "They were better than us... sometimes defenders are good and we have to accept that."
