or getthe money and dont spent it@@user-bs5qr5ie4s

@@unknownunknown3692he really does regret it and he is not shy to say that. However, he had a major depression and is now happy with himself again with the structure of a job and all that. Happiness and health is the most important: that’s not political correct, that’s a fact….

Prenkkk

ive grow up in Rotterdam and knew older guys who used to know Drenthe growing up, this guy took privet jets to the netherlands and party while he needed to prepare for the next game. Great talent but he didnt had the mindset of a pro player

I lived through Los Oranjes period and you were right. Most actually did good, just Drenthe that flopped really hard, but each have their own demons, Robben had the man of glass period, VdV would have one of the worst case of gassing out I have ever seen (even worse than Özil), Sneijder was fine, but I think he had some psychological issues in Madrid, Huntelaar came simply at the wrong time, because Higuain started to improve massively and no one dared to replace Raul at that time. Ruudjie was on decline at that time. Truthfully I think a massive makeover seemed to be a reasonable solution.

When Lorenzo Sanz was the president, not Florentino Perez

To be fair, we have to question the legitimacy of the Russian squad they lost to after all that happened in Russian sporting since. Especially when it came down to the fact that they lost that match on fitness. Which is how everyone in The Netherlands remembers that tournament, they beat the best teams with style only to hopelessly lose to Russia.

@@SevenTheMisgiven That Russian squad were trashed twice by Spain at Euro 2008 though, 4-1 in the group stage and 3-0 in the semi finals. Of course there have been theories about the Spain team of that era as well. What do you think would've happened if Holland had played Spain in the semi finals?

​@@ashleythomas4112interesting that brought that up bcus when u think about it doesn't sound so far fetched for the only way to beat them is to take/use their own medicine.. 🤔

@@ashleythomas4112 I don't know buddy. It was just a strange contrast in form of the Dutch squad. Beating Italy and France comfortably (the World champion and runner up of 2006) and then lose rather hopelessly to Russia. Personally I didn't think anything badly about Russia at the time. Dzagoev played well that tournament and I liked him. But then the rest of his entire career was shadey and very much linked with corruption as well. Spain vs Holland in 2008 already would have been interesting perhaps. I am not entirely sure about the strength of the Spanish squad. But you see, it would have made a lot of sense if these 2 squad faced off in 2008 already. And how knows if it would the 1-0 for Spain or the 5-1 for Holland we would get to see. ;)

@@SevenTheMisgiven I do think that Italy and particularly France were on the decline after the 2006 World Cup though. By Euro 2008 Italy were still a decent side with very good players but France were just abysmal, despite themselves having some very good players as well. They were both terrible in 2010 as well, just 2 years later. Dzagoev didn't play at Euro 2008, (he did make his debut for Russia later that year though at just 18 years old) I think you might be confusing him with Arshavin, who was outstanding at Euro 2008. It's interesting that Russia have done very little of note since that Euros though, apart from coincidentally at the World Cup they hosted in 2018. Hmm, interesting. The 2008 Spain squad was a fantastic team with Casillas, Puyol, Sergio Ramos, Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas, Xabi Alonso, David Silva, Torres, Villa. Spain were undoubtedly very strong at the time. The Dutch squad were also very strong though, it would've been a close, hard fought game I think. It definitely would not have been 5-1 as the Spain team that Holland beat in 2014 was old and tired and facing the end of their legendary golden generation at that World Cup.

I mean that's pretty much what he said in the video..... Robben was good too when he was fit. But he was hardly ever fit. But the remaining four were definitely disappointing. Flashes of talent here and there, but ultimately not enough.

@@brianduru3753Sneijder was good.

Ruud is a Real Madrid legend.

Clarence Seedorf (mid 90's)

Bad luck most likely

and cambiasso in some extent

The 2010 final was actually especially ironic cause in a sense the spain team that beat them was educated by a dutch icon and the dutch school of football. Not to mention they beat them with the progressed version of total (possession) football; tiki-taka. Allthough to be fair at that point Spain was playing more like the dutch school of football then the dutch nationsl team themselves were

They won Euro 1988

Didn't he say : 'From De Jong to...well , de Jong' ? ;)

95/96 he was in Sampdoria... He went to real Madrid in 96. When he was in réal thé président was Lorenzo Sanz and not Florentino Perez
