Lamine Yamal responds to former Real Madrid player with unusual celebration
Rafael van der Vaart left some criticism of the young Spanish talent, who did not
Lamine Yamal scored one of the goals in Spain’s 3-3 draw against the Netherlands in the second leg of the Nations League quarter-finals . The tie had to be decided on penalties, where La Roja was stronger.
The young talent’s artwork caused a stir, as did the celebration. However, Lamine Yamal ‘s celebration of dropping his shorts was in response to criticism from Rafael van der Vaart, a former Dutch international who played for Real Madrid .
«I’ve noticed a few things about Lamine Yamal that are starting to bother me. Shorts too low, doesn’t try very hard and has somewhat superficial gestures. If you’re so young, you should be happy for every minute you play for Spain. No matter how good you are. At that age, you have to demonstrate that every minute and every game,” he said, after the first leg, to the microphones of the Dutch team NOS .
In addition to the celebration, Lamine Yamal left a comment on social media: «Short down, a goal, missed penalty and in the semifinals. Let’s go Spain.»
