Gerard Pique was present when Lamine Yamal uttered the words that have angered Real Madrid for 36 hours. Renowned for not having his tongue in his pocket, the man who launched the Kings League defended the Barcelona player during an intervention in Jijantes by Gerard Romero, well-known streamer in Spain, also on set with Lamine Yamal on Thursday evening. For the 2010 world champion, the reaction of the Madrilenians is above all a form of jealousy because they would like to have a player like Yamal in their squad.
“Let’s accept Lamine as he is. He will obviously gain experience. No one is the same at 18 or 38. Lamine Yamal is very special. It's understandable that they criticize him in Madrid. They would love to have a Lamine. We don't know how long we'll be able to enjoy it, so let's not get rid of it. In today's football you have to take care of players like him. You have to accept it” commented Piqué, never shy of criticism towards Casa Blanca during his career and his sporting retirement.
