(opens the publisher’s site)Former China coach José Antonio Camacho advised Kylian Mbappé to hire good lawyers amid the controversy over the forward's description of Mao Zedong as a "dictator."
- Camacho, who managed China from 2011 to 2013, gave the advice on Spanish radio programme "El Partidazo" on Cadena COPE.
- Camacho said Chinese officials "cut relations immediately," leaving the other party to deal with FIFA or UEFA.
- Camacho said he was dismissed in June 2013 a week after being told his contract was extended, following China's 1-5 defeat by Thailand.
- Mbappé apologized for the comment, saying it was "regrettable" and that he now realizes it may have offended many people.
- Chinese state media accused Real Madrid of double standards for taking 48 hours to respond to Mbappé's Mao comment.
- China Media Group suspended all La Liga broadcasts, while Migu will exclude only Real Madrid matches.
- La Liga president Javier Tebas met with China's ambassador to Spain to contain the fallout.
