The former Real Madrid midfielder responded on ‘Ziggo Sports’ to Spain star Lamine Yamal, who laughed off the Dutchman's criticism after eliminating the 'Oranje' from the Nations League quarter-finals with a post on Instagram.
Spain booked their ticket to the Nations League final four after eliminating the Netherlands on penalties after both the first leg (2-2) and the second leg (3-3) ended in a draw. However, it was not just football that made the headlines.
The second leg between ‘la Roja’ and the Dutch was already heated by former Real Madrid player Rafael van der Vaart, who criticised Barcelona star Lamine Yamal for wearing his pants a bit too down and his attitude on the pitch.
The Spain winger, who scored in the second leg and put in a great performance against Koeman's side, uploaded a post on Instagram mocking Van der Vaart and celebrating the win.
Hours later, the former Netherlands international responded to the ‘Cules’ youth product, telling him he should be more humble for how young he is.
"I would advise him not to worry about a former player who is a bit too fat. It is completely unimportant. I mean well. When you're 17 and you get so much praise, you start to believe that the whole world revolves around you. We've all been there, but the world doesn't revolve around you. Football is fun, but not important. If you think you're God, you become a less fun person," he said on 'Ziggo Sports'.
