Italian clubs queue for Real Madrid’s Drenthe
News
Roysten Drenthe not looking interested in playing
Real Madrid wing-back Royston Drenthe is wanted by a raft of Italian clubs.
Despite his struggles in Madrid last season, Drenthe attracted an approach from Juventus last week and it’s since emerged that Roma, Cagliari and Genoa have also been in contact for the Holland U21 international.
For his part, Drenthe is keen to prove himself at Real.
Drenthe wants to fight for a place in the starting line up
Ok, first and foremost I think Real Madrid should not just sell Drenthe this season just because he was not able to perform well for Real Madrid this season. He is still a young lad and young players normally take a season or two before they settle down in a new league, new club. Playing for Real Madrid with all its star players is another pressure a young player has to put up with.
Young player’s normally panic in big matches and try to do to many things all by themselves in order to prove to the coach that they are worthy of playing for Real Madrid, that is exactly what has happened to Drenthe. He had very little pressure put on his shoulders when he played for the Holland Under 21 where he was the best player in the U 21 world cup.
Drenthe knew that his chances to play in the first team were limited even before coming to Real Madrid, Schuster did give him very little chances but it seemed like everytime Drenthe came onto the pitch, he wanted to play like Maradona, tried to do too much by himself which lead to loosing ball posessions in dangerous situtations.
Also, I think Drenthe is a player who wants to show that not only he is worthy of playing for a big club but also that he is the best player whenever he is on the park, that’s why he is always trying to impress the viewers and particularly the coach by doing some “not normal stuff” and sometimes that does pay off but most of the times it does not, unless you are Zidane or Ronaldo (not Cristiano Ronaldo because this thing has also happened to him in the past).
By ” not normal stuff” I mean, that Drenthe tries to dribble players when there is a team member available in space which means that he just wants to prove that he is a good player regradless of what happens to the team, he just wants his performance to be up to the mark. He is always trying for the Hollywood passes and runs, meaning, that he tries to pull off very difficult passes which mostly costs Real Madrid ball posession.
I think Drenthe has definitely got talent and he should be loaned out for a season or two because he has got time on his side and can develop alot during these two years, if he does not perform for another club then I think Real Madrid should sell hiim otherwise no harm in sending him to a tier 2 club like Roma (who beat Real Madrid in Champions League).
I think the pressure, of playing for Roma is far less than playing for Real Madrid, because the crowd at The Bernabeu as we all know is very impatient, two bad games and they will start booing the likes of Beckham and Ronaldo (Brazil), I hate to point this out.
Drenthe then can be judged whether he is worthy of wearing the white shirt and the money that comes along with it. Till then I say Real Madrid should keep him.
