Yamal recently participated in a King's League event and ridiculed Real Madrid for profiting from referees. He said: They steal, complain and do petty tricks. Reporters and commentators from the Western media "Radio Ser" discussed the matter and agreed that Yamal's remarks before the game were inappropriate.
Commentator Javier Ereas said Yamal's words were "too bad." Reporter Romero said that he could not imagine that Messi or Ronaldo would make such controversial remarks when the national derby is approaching.
Another commentator Rodriguez also held the same view. He said: "I can't understand that three days before the national derby, Yamal appeared in the King's League. He just recovered from injury and played in the King's League. I feel sorry for him." It was uncomfortable. "
Iturralde criticized: "The message he sent was very strong and dangerous. Even if he thought so, he could not say that the opponent was stealing. With millions of fans, one can't talk about stealing. His words carry a huge responsibility. "
Jesus Gallego concluded: "A person can become a better or a worse football player. Would you rather be Pique or Iniesta? If you want to be like Pique more, then end up being like Pique and that’s it. If you would rather be like Iniesta, or the many others who set an example in their words and actions, then choose that and that’s it. "
