Where is royston drenthe now

Things have certainly been eventful for Drenthe, who originally burst onto the scene in June , when he starred in Holland U21's win over England at the European Championships alongside the likes of Ryan Babel, Maceo Rigters and Daniel de Ridder.

All talented players but it never quite worked out for them, despite heaps of expectation during that era. We witnessed glimpses of his true potential during his time in England, scoring three goals in 21 appearances under David Moyes, but it wasn't enough. His attitude was clearly a problem, and after failing to impress enough to earn a contract at Goodison Park, Drenthe admitted his problems:. But in hindsight, he was so right about me most times.

It is one of the most fantastic clubs in the Premier League. I improved a lot even if we had different mentalities. Madrid was the time I most enjoyed but at Everton I was at my best. England is great, how they live football. Not that there was regret leaving. Not then, anyway. I was young, reckless. Reckless, how? This is a new start, I feel like a grown man. I learned a lot in this life already. I am 33, some things I had to learn at I am open now, you understand? I can speak to people.

Sometimes you have to take your time, count to And so there he is: 60 minutes on the bench, 30 on the touchline, none on the pitch and Drenthe waits at the north end of the Limonar, 15km outside Murcia, where lemons grow and the sun sets behind Cabeza Bermejo. Thirty-nine people sit on whitewashed steps watching Racing against Mar Menor but not him. Drenthe is pissed off but keeps his peace, coaching staff talking about his openness, his humility, his normality ; not just today, every day.

Like I am telling the young players: patience. At the European Under Championship, he was head and shoulders above everyone else and looked the complete footballer. He was dominant in midfield as Holland lifted the trophy and every big club in Europe was clamouring for his signature.

Jose Mourinho happened. On deadline day in the new Madrid boss called Drenthe into his office and told him he had 24 hours to choose a team. Drenthe could never get good performances going and he blamed a lot on the number of problems he had off the field. Now with Drenthe , Racing Murcia's fans can dream of making the ascent to the next tier.
