Mourinho Refuses to Change Real Madrid's Identity for Yamal Ahead of El Clasico

The first El Clasico of the season is approaching, marking Jose Mourinho's return to Camp Nou as the manager of Real Madrid. In a press conference before the match on Sunday, Mourinho addressed various topics, including Barcelona's young star, Lamine Yamal.

Mourinho emphasized that Real Madrid will not adjust their tactics for Yamal, acknowledging his talent while asserting that the team's essence will remain unchanged. He noted that while they respect great players, they will not modify their plans for any opponent.

Barcelona leads LaLiga with nine consecutive wins, totaling 27 points, despite a recent defeat to PSG in the Champions League. Real Madrid, currently in third place with 21 points, is coming off strong victories against Sevilla and Leipzig. Both teams will face challenges, as Barcelona will be without defender Jules Kounde due to injury, while Real Madrid will miss Vinicius Junior, who is serving a four-game suspension.
