The former footballer has now responded and asked him not to think too much about the opinions coming from the sidelines.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Ziggo Sports, Van der Vaart stated that he is worried about Yamal&#8217;s mannerisms but knows that the Barcelona star is highly talented. The former Real Madrid star added that the teenager should not think the world revolves around him and said via Barca Blaugranes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis goal was really out of the ordinary. A world goal, a world player. Still, I would advise him not to worry so much about a former player who is a bit too fat and says something about him. That is completely unimportant. He is 17. He is so good, but I am a bit annoyed by his mannerisms and I mean that well. When you get so much praise as a 17-year-old, you also start to believe that the whole world revolves around you.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI actually just wanted to say that, yes, well you know, we played football in Spain. And then people get angry, let them be angry. My family is half Spanish, they all live there, and the bomb exploded. I was not aware of any wrongdoing. I just said, \u2018I see mannerisms that I don\u2019t really want to see\u2019, but I don\u2019t think I think he\u2019s super bad. I think he\u2019s a great player. He just has to keep his feet on the ground.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Lamine Yamal scored a goal in normal time against The Netherlands but missed his penalty in the shootout.

He added that the teenager has started to bother him with his style and said via Barca Blaugranes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt seemed like Yamal didn\u2019t take well to facing Hato.
