The harsh criticism of ex-footballer Rafael Van der Vaart has not taken long to receive a response from the players of the Spanish team. He wants his moment of glory and he’s having it. I saw him in the World Cup final, and here in Ciudad del Fútbol we have a photo of Iniesta’s goal against the Netherlands with him next to him. You have to respect, “the Spanish midfielder replied harshly.

A response that has come after the ugly statements of the former Dutch footballer: “Spain is horrible, I hope to play against them.” The one who was a Real Madrid and Betis footballer is currently commenting on the matches of his team on a local television in his country (NOS) and during those broadcasts, Van der Vaart assured that Luis Enrique’s players «all they do is pass the ball back and forth. They don’t have a single player who knows how to give a definitive pass.

In an interview on ‘El Partidazo’ on the COPE chain, the Atlético de Madrid midfielder wanted to leave a message for the future and a hypothetical cross between the two teams during the European Championship. “We are going to keep those words to motivate us a little. We are not going to hang them in the locker room but we are going to keep them in our memory if we play against them, “he said.

The possibility that La Roja will have to face the Netherlands if they manage to pass the group stage is more than likely. The orange team has already secured the first place in group C and one of their possible rivals could be the third in the group of Spain.
