When they came back to their senses, Fang Jue and Van Nistelrooy both laughed.

"How's your recovery?" Fang Jue said.

"You can play at any time." Ruud van Nistelrooy said that Fang Jue even had the illusion that there was a desire to play in his voice.

"Tomorrow's game, I'll send you on the pitch in the second half to get a feel for the game." Fang Jue said.

"No problem, Coach." Vanney said.

Despite his desperate desire to get more playing time, Ruud van Nistelrooy knows that the manager's arrangement is the most standard.

Players who have just recovered from injury start from the bench and slowly come on the field to find their feelings, which is also a kind of protection for the players to avoid being injured again just after recovering from injury.

"Let's go back and rest early." Fang Jue and Ruud van Nistelrooy waved goodbye, "I don't want a player I have high hopes for to be injured on the training ground. ”

"I'll take notice, Coach." Ruud van Nistelrooy assured, "I'll go back after the last set of shots." ”

Hearing the sound of banging behind him, he turned his head to look back, and saw the sweaty figure who still insisted on shooting practice, Fang Jue nodded with satisfaction.

That's exactly why he brought in a 33-year-old veteran.

This is the determination of a veteran not to admit defeat.

It's a veteran who wants to play another major tournament in the twilight of his career.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has scored more than 200 goals in his career to date and is the most efficient player in Champions League history.

Even before the 2006 World Cup, Ruud van Nistelrooyff had already broken Cruyff's record for goals for the national team. However, as someone born on the same day, the same month, the same year as Kluivert, it wasn't until the European Championships in Portugal that Ruud van Nistelrooy made his first appearance at international competition, and it wasn't until he was 30 years old that he made his first World Cup trip.

On June 18, 2006, in the group stage of the World Cup in Germany, at the Daimler Stadium, Ruud van Nistelrooy scored his trademark solo goal in the 26th minute of the match against Ivory Coast.

For this goal, Fang Jue still has an impression.

He was at the Alfonso bar with Queiroz and Xavi and a couple of guys.

It was Ruud van Nistelrooy's first World Cup goal, but it could also be the last.

In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, he started three times in the group stage and played a total of 190 minutes.

In three games, Ruud van Nistelrooy had a total of 4 shots on goal, 4 of which hit the range of the goal and scored a goal.

That's all Ruud van Nistelrooy's stats at the World Cup in Germany, and all the King of the Box has had so far at the World Cup.

However, in the quarter-final against Portugal, Ruud van Nistelrooy was refrigerated by Basten.

In the end, the Netherlands were eliminated from the competition.

Behind the exit, rumours swirled about Ruud van Nistelrooy's uneasy relationship with Van Basten, then head coach of the Dutch national team.

At Euro 2008, the Netherlands won all three games from a group with Italy, France and Romania, and were considered favourites for the title, only to fall to the dark horse Russia in the final 14.

Although Ruud van Nistelrooy equalized for the Netherlands in the 86th minute and stubbornly dragged the game into extra time, it was destined to be a summer for Arshavin.

The "Tsar" sent the Netherlands home with a pass and a shot in extra time, ending Ruud van Nistelrooy's prime years for the national team.

After Euro 2008, the 32-year-old Ruud van Nistelrooy announced his retirement from the Dutch national team.

If he hadn't been able to get a ticket to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and play another tournament, this match would have been a lifelong regret for Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Now, he has announced the 'comeback' of the national team, and he wants to play the second and last World Cup of his career with all his might, and he wants to make amends.

Never underestimate these veterans......

……

On September 23, in the third round of the 20092010 English League Cup, Aston Villa hosted Cardiff City.

Aston Villa beat Cardiff City 1-0 at home to advance to the last 16 of the Carabao Cup.

Ashley Young's sudden long-range strike was the only goal of the game.

After the game, the media focused on Dutch veteran Luther. Ruud van Nistelrooy came off the bench at full time 81 minutes.

This is the first time in three years that the Dutchman has made his debut in England after moving from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2006.

However, Van Nistelrooy's 'return' battle after a three-year hiatus was very mediocre and even difficult to qualify.

In the eleven minutes he played as a substitute, the Dutch veteran only touched the ball three times and failed to complete a single shot.

"Aging Luther, goodbye to the former Premier League Golden Boot!" - After the game, the Times used this headline.

Other media outlets mostly have similar headlines and opinions.

Obviously, in the eyes of the English media, the 33-year-old Van Nistelrooy is already too old, and the 'king of the small penalty area' who dominates the Premier League only exists in memories.

Fang Jue defended Ruud van Nistelrooy in his post-match press conference, saying that after six months away from the court, Ruud van Nistelrooy needs to slowly get back to form.

'As long as he gets back to his game and his feel, he's still the most dangerous guy in the box!'

Regarding Fang Jue's statement, "The Sun" sarcastically said: What if he can't get back to the game? You give it to him!

……

Three days later, in the 7th round of the Premier League, Aston Villa was held to a 1-1 draw by Blackburn.

Although they were unable to win, the team avoided a losing streak, which also made Aston Villa breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Fang Jue's words made the pressure on the whole team a little less, and the atmosphere in the team was eased.

However, no matter how well it is said, if the team loses in a row, it is all nonsense and useless.

Ruud van Nistelrooy was once again given the chance to come off the bench in this game, and the Dutchman played almost twenty minutes off the bench to have a shot on goal, but did not pose much of a threat to the goalkeeper.

After the game, the media once again paid attention to the Dutch veteran, and the "Sun" directly 'advised' Fang Jue, suggesting that Fang Jue give up his illusions about Ruud van Nistelrooy and start preparing for another reliable center forward during the winter break.

As after the Carabao Cup match in midweek, Fang Jue still chose to defend Ruud van Nistelrooy, and his reasoning and opinion remained that Ruud van Nistelrooy had just recovered from injury and still needed to find the form and feel of the game.

However, in the eyes of the media, it is a dead duck to fight back.

……

Fang Jue was also thinking about Van Nistelrooy.

It is undeniable that the Dutch veteran worked hard, but his performance was very average.

The reason why Ruud van Nistelrooy is known as the "King of the Penalty Area" is due to his strong dominance in the box and his extremely high scoring efficiency.

He's got a great shot, he's got a lot of ways to attack the goal, and he's hungry for goals, and he doesn't have to worry about him not scoring as long as he creates chances, but it's that quality that makes him seem too selfish at times.

As a coach at Ruud van Nistelrooy's prime, Ferguson is considered the most qualified to judge Ruud van Nistelrooy.

United's godfather has said that Ruud van Nistelrooy is the most selfish striker he has ever seen, "he has no intention of creating chances for his team-mates, he doesn't care how far he travels, how many sprints he has, whether he is involved in the whole team's defence, the only thing he's interested in is how many goals Ruud van Nistelrooy has scored".

Of course, considering that the old gentleman later completely turned against Fanny, this remark is more or less subjective.

Cruyff, the godfather of Dutch football, even said of Ruud van Nistelrooy as "a great goalscorer, a terrible player".

And the Dutch football name Rong. Drake said in 2004: "I think Kluivert is a better player, but not a good shooter. Kluivert is more comprehensive...... And Ruud van Nistelrooy is all about scoring goals."

You know, in 2004 Van Nistelrooy was at the peak of his career, and Kluivert had already begun to decline, even so, at that time, the outside world was more likely to rate Kluivert than Van Nistelrooy, which has to be said to be a strange thing.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's desperate desire to score goals has made him United's most important scorer, but it has also been a source of conflict at some point.

In fact, it is Ruud van Nistelrooy's desperate desire to score goals that makes him prone to conflict with his coach and team-mates. During his time at Manchester United, he could ignore Alex Ferguson's request for him to be involved in defence, as he only wanted to devote all his energy to attacking opportunities.

And the reason why he was dissatisfied with Ronaldo was also because Ronaldo's personal desire to show was too strong at that time, which reduced his scoring opportunities.

It is easy to overlook the fact that in the Champions League 20012002 season, Ruud van Nistelrooy was not only the top scorer, but also the assist leader, and it can be seen that he can create chances for his teammates as long as he wants to, but unfortunately most of the time he is reluctant to do so.

However, no one is perfect, there are always two sides to the coin, and if Ruud van Nistelrooy had played more selflessly at that time, perhaps his career could have been more perfect, but the legend of the "king of the penalty area" in world football may not exist.

While controversy has always been with him, the facts never lie:

2 Eredivisie Golden Boots, 1 Premier League Golden Boot, 1 La Liga Golden Boot, 3 Champions League Golden Boots.

0.82 goals per game during PSV Eindhoven, 0.68 goals per game during Manchester United, 0.67 goals per game during Real Madrid, 0.77 goals per game during the Champions League, and 00.5 goals per game during the national team......

All of this data is a testament to how great Ruud van Nistelrooy is as a goalscorer.

Moreover, Fang Jue also noticed that against Cardiff City and Blackburn, Vanney worked the field, and he even ran out of the penalty area and retreated to the midfield to respond.

In addition to illustrating how hard Vanney tried, this also highlighted a problem:

No one passed the ball to him!

This pass is not a literal pass to Ruud van Nistelrooy.

It was someone who passed the ball into the penalty area, and then the Dutch veteran scored with a shot in one fell swoop.

The more Fang Jue pondered, the more it was like this.

Depend on!

He couldn't help but explode and bought a gun, but forgot to get a gunner who could deliver ammunition!
