Mikel Merino equalized at the end of the match, allowing the European Champions to stand up to the Netherlands in a 2-2 draw in the quarter-final first leg of the League of Nations earlier this week. The Barcelona sensation Yamal was discreet, not making a significant contribution to his team and having remained silent during most of the meeting against the Dutch left Jorrel Hato.
Before the return match in Spain, the former Star of the Netherlands and Real Madrid, Van der Vaart, strongly criticized the body language of the 17-year-old, saying that the young winger was frustrated by the tenacious defense of Hato.

Speaking on the television channel NOS, the Dutch legend said : “Yamal did not seem to appreciate the fact of facing Hato. Here's what I notice: I see things that start to bother me a little. Short a little lower, lack of effort, a little superficial gestures. »»
“” This is where I say to myself: when you are so young, you should be happy at each minute in the Spanish team. Regardless of its level, at this age, it must be proven it every minute and each match. But that does not change the fact that Hato had her in his pocket. »»
The Furia Roja will host the Netherlands in the quarter-final return from the League of Nations on Sunday at the Mestalla stadium in Valencia. Hato will miss the match due to a suspension after being expelled at the end of the first leg.
