  "account": "Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid's manager, declares his team will retain their tactical approach when facing Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal in Sunday's highly anticipated El Clasico. Despite recent wins against Sevilla and RB Leipzig, Mourinho insists past form does not hold significance in this crucial fixture. The Portuguese coach urges his squad to maintain focus on the unique pressure and atmosphere that defines a Clasico, stressing that previous performances are irrelevant. Concerning Yamal, the young winger's attacking prowess is acknowledged, but Mourinho believes it is essential for Madrid to remain true to their own footballing identity. He emphasizes that respecting such an individual is separate from changing strategies or losing sight of their own essence. Though Madrid has displayed strong attacking form recently, Mourinho warns against any complacency, emphasizing that the magnitude of El Clasico renders previous results inconsequential.",
