The answer was quick! While Lamine Yamal had an exceptional season with FC Barcelona (18 goals, 25 assists) and he is among the favorites for the Ballon d'Or, the Spanish winger finds himself in spite of himself at the heart of a lively controversy. The former French international Adil Rami indeed made violent remarks towards him during a live on Twitch, causing a shock wave in the entourage of the player.
“Humanly speaking, I can no longer see him (…) humanly speaking, n **** your mother”dropped Rami Face Camera, filter without filter. Words deemed unacceptable and condemned by many observers. In The team This Monday, a relative of the Yamal clan said he “Stunned”. “But does he only know him?” It's incredible to hear that ”, he lets go. For the entourage of the player, Rami exceeded the limits and was completely discredited.
Only 18 years old, Yamal lives under constant pressure, between sporting expectations and intrusions in his private life. His family deplores an unjustified media cabal against him, all the more violent as she targets a teenager in full ascent. “Lamine is an example”insists his father, denouncing unfair attacks which deeply affect the young player.
Adil Rami is explained
Faced with the controversy, Adil Rami tried to justify himself on Instagram, evoking a “Metaphor awkwards” targeting the recent attitudes of the player, not his entourage. He assured that it was not a literal insult. An attempted explanation that did not calm the criticism, quite the contrary.
Already weakened by a previous controversy around his birthday party, Yamal must today face a weighing media climate. Far from responding to attacks, the Catalan prodigy prefers to focus on the field.
