Recently, Yamal's father, Muni, spoke about the recent external criticism of Yamal in an interview with Camel Live, including topics such as the young Spanish player dating a model during the off-season and holding a large-scale birthday party.
Regarding external criticism and evaluations of Yamal
“I don't care about the criticism from the outside world; I only trust my own inner judgment. In my opinion, my son has done extremely well. Some people don't mind their own lives but meddle in others' affairs, and in the end, they are consumed by their own jealousy. These are all their own problems.”
“Everyone needs to understand that he has just turned 18. He is just an ordinary young man and has the right to enjoy life. We all know full well that he is a professional player, but in essence, he is no different from other kids.”
“For people in Spain, we should be proud that our country has such a player who wears the team's No. 10 jersey and performs brilliantly for the national team. We should cheer for him both on and off the field, rather than dampen his spirits.”
Regarding whether he is overly dependent on Yamal
"My life has never changed. I have been happy ever since he was born. As for issues related to real estate? Some people talk without understanding the actual situation, but I don't care what they say—let them be."
Views on the attacks Yamal has suffered
“In any case, those who speak ill of him had better examine themselves first. Yamal is the most precious treasure in my life, and in my heart, he is also the greatest figure in the history of football.”
"Don't worry. If my son had really done something wrong, I would definitely be the first to grab him by the ear and tell him that it's not acceptable.... But in fact, he has done nothing wrong at all."
