Globetrotter Royston Drenthe’s new team

Royston Drenthe He’s older now, but not that much. He is 35 years old, the age at which many players are now at the highest level, or at least, in a Second or First Federation team, formerly Second B. The Dutch winger was once the top player in 2007 -with only 21 years-, he signed the Real Madrid, convinced his vitola of MVP of the Under-21 European in the same year in a signing that generated surprise.

However, Drenthe was not ‘the same’ as they said or did not find the perfect environment to succeed and lost value, without finding stability that did not last more than two years at the same club since Madrid loaned him to The Hercules in 2010. Since then, with the Alicante team, he has played for 12 different clubs, for a total of 14 in his career. He just signed for Racing Mérida of First Extremadura Regional, his fourth team in just one year after going through the Cossack Boys of the Dutch Third, the Murcia Racing of the Third Division and the historical Royal Murciaof the Second RFEF, currently the third category of the state.

Drenthe, who began his career in Feyenoordarrived on loan in 2010 at a Hercules to form a promising trident with David Trezeguet Y Nelson Haedo Valdez who did not serve the Alicante team to stay in the First Division after his return. That summer, the entity mortgaged its future and, now, in the Second RFEF, it is still paying its share for those economic excesses of the past. Despite not meeting expectations in Alicante -its night outings is repeating-, the Dutchman found a residence in Everton on a new loan to the white club in the 11/12 season but it didn’t work out either.

His contract with Real Madrid expired in 2012 and the Dutchman continued his journey in search of a stable destination that he had yet to find and wearing the jackets of Alanya Vladikavkaz russian, the Reading and the sheffield wednesday English, the Kayseri Erciyesspor turkish, the Baniyas of the United Arab Emirates and the sparta rotterdam and the Cossack Boys Dutch before he returned to Spain with the aforementioned moves through Racing Murcia, Real Murcia and, now, Racing de Mérida. Primera Extremeña is the category immediately below Tercera RFEF, the state’s fifth division.

Drenthe left some happy displays of quality for Real Madrid, such as the excellent goal from three quarters with a powerful shot that endorsed the Seville, although the Dutchman is remembered more for what he didn’t achieve than what he did achieve. In particular, the match in one of the first Clásico de Guardiola which Barça won 2-0 in December 2008. At 0-0, the Dutchman lost one-on-one against Valdes in a transcendental Barça-Real Madrid for the azulgrana to accelerate towards the first League with Pep. Now, even virtues go unnoticed by rebellious Drenthe. But, depending on how you look at it, his true passion for football, a love that transcends place and category.
