Yarmolenko

is a rascal.

One of those footballers who are so talented that they end up disoriented by not always reciprocated praise.

But it was Yarmolenko who left the Netherlands speechless when Frank de Boer's men were seen with the game won after taking a comfortable lead (2-0).

The contradictory winger scored a parabolic goal to put fear in the body of the Dutch.

Yaremchuk

equalized the match four minutes later.

But the night, bloody, exciting and dizzying, could not be closed without a final twist of the script.

The winger

Dumfries

, the best in Amsterdam, caught the final triumph for the Netherlands already in the twilight.

[Narration and statistics]

A

Georginio Wijnaldum

, hoarder of focus, had stamped her label dispensable footballer in recent times.

Ronald Koeman

spent a year demanding his hiring for Barcelona, ​​but an alleged unsightly profile, despite the insistence with which

Klopp

had him at Liverpool, made part of the fans distrust.

So his hiring by PSG, when the Barça club seemed to have it under control, much less caused a trauma in the fans.

Quite the opposite.

Wijnaldum, however, raised his voice to claim that he is more than a physical midfielder.

That is more than a simple arrival.

And he showed it this time, acting as quarterback and executor in the Johan Cruyff stadium.

Dumfries, torment for Mykolenko

Wijnaldum helped

De Jong

and

Depay

through the dizzying flow. And Frank de Boer raised his chin to see how his criticized 5-3-2, well applied, can also be a drawing to consider in the church of 4-3-3. The one who favored the scheme the most was

Dumfries

, a torment for

Mykolenko

on the lane, and a constant source of trouble for Ukraine. All three of the Netherlands' goals, scored in the second half, spilled from their boots, with Wijnaldum and

Weghorst

attentive and flawless at the final point. Although the production of the Netherlands was also very generous, with Memphis Depay - who in Barcelona they already see as part of their new project - always skilled in finding cracks.

The prejudices that surround the world of soccer, sometimes, are easily collapsed. Not only in terms of tactical variants, but also in terms of the laborers' chores. "Intellectual progress is very important. It helps me think faster in the field." The sentence corresponds to the great protagonist of the first act, the Ukrainian goalkeeper

Gueorgui Bushchan

, who managed to snatch goals from Depay, Dumfries, Weghorst and especially Wijnaldum. His iron hand before the point-blank shot of the new Parisian midfielder was prodigious. Well, Bushchan, trained in Ukraine by former Betis and Real Madrid goalkeeper

Pedro Jaro

, loves to recreate himself in the magical realism of

García Márquez

in

One Hundred Years of Soledad

.

Although the one he adores is

Mikhail Bulgakov

for having written that masterpiece (

The Master and Margarita

) in which the devil, accompanied by a band that laughs at the

Manson

family

, gives a good account of Stalin's Moscow.

Satire is always accompanied by the condemnation that nothing should be what it seems.

And Bushchan, already dreaming of a historic day, rejected where he shouldn't on Wijnaldum's opening goal and could do little in Weghorst's 2-0 after Mykolenko's mistake.

Damn devil.

The Schevchenko squad rebellion was not conclusive because Dumfries, the great Dutch dagger, did not want it to be so.

Although Ukraine's competitive profile in the open field presumes a high degree of unease in its next rivals.

The Netherlands, meanwhile, showed that, beyond the obvious quality of its players, it can also be a great survivor.

It does not seem small.
