On August 5, the Dutch Football Association issued a statement that Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy officially announced his retirement from the national team.

Prior to the announcement, Ruud van Nistelrooy had informed the new head coach of the Dutch national team, Van Marwijk.

He is in a situation where he can no longer play for the Dutch team.

Because he couldn't play at his best at the club and at the same time as the national team.

The 32-year-old Van Nistelrooy, who plays for Real Madrid, has been praised by fans as the "king of the penalty area" for his outstanding sense of smell in front of goal and ability to grab points.

From 1998 to the present, he has made 64 appearances for the Dutch national team, scoring 33 goals. In 2000, Ruud van Nistelrooy missed the European Championships on home soil with a knee injury.

But at Euro 2004 in Portugal, Ruud van Nistelrooy scored four goals on his own.

In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the Netherlands reached the round of 16, and Ruud van Nistelrooy scored one goal.

In this year's European Championships, Ruud van Nistelrooy scored a total of two goals, but the Netherlands were defeated by Guus Hiddink's Russia in the quarter-finals and missed out on the semi-finals.

And this game became Ruud van Nistelrooy's last performance for the national team.

"After looking at the fixtures between Real Madrid and the Dutch national team, I found it very difficult to play for both teams at the same time because my body could no longer bear this high load, so I made my own decision.

"And I don't want to risk it anymore. Especially after enjoying this European Cup, I hope to retire from the national team with good memories. ”

'The Netherlands will have new talent up front in the squad and I've seen him play and his shots are pure.

Fanny said in a statement.

Journalists are looking curiously at Dutch coach Donny van Marwijk, hoping to get a name from it.

Ruud van Nistelrooy withdrew from the national team and Mackay led the team to the Olympics.

If Ruud van Nistelrooy had been referring to Gunners striker Robin van Persie, Ajax striker Huntelaar or Real Madrid winger Arjen Robben, he could have named his team-mates in the national team.

"His name is Levi."

Van Marwijk's eyes were smiling, and before Levi left England, he met the youngster in person and made contact with Manchester United to find out more about it.

Ferguson invited him to watch a training match and praised Levi's performance on several occasions.

After watching the game, Van Marwijk was completely relieved.

And Levi also agreed to join the Dutch team.

'In the international friendly against Russia on 20 August, we will call him up in the Dutch squad.

"At just 18 years old, he's a highly gifted attacking talent who can play in multiple positions and has shown a calmness and sophistication that doesn't belong to his age. He was spotted by Manchester United this season and delivered a perfect result in a friendly match. I think he's going to work well with the other players and the older players in the team will be kind enough to help him improve. ”

The reporters rolled their eyes, who doesn't know what kind of pig killing farm you have in your team?

Players and players fight, players and coaches fight.

There have been occasional attritions in non-competitions, so much so that the news that the Dutch team is fighting again is so common that it no longer makes the headlines in sports.

If you blow a few words, the big brother in the team can be a little more tolerant.

Talking too much, you can't be bullied?

Some people had heard about it and were immediately curious about which number the new player would be wearing in the Dutch team.

After all, Ruud van Nistelrooy has just retired, and if Van Marwijk really values the player that much, will he hand him the number 9 shirt?

"After Ruud van Nistelrooy retires, who will be the owner of the No. 9 shirt for the new season?"

"I think it's going to be Huntelaar." Van Marwijk said nonchalantly.

"So what number shirt will the youngster wear?"

"Number 14, of course."

Van Marwijk said, smiling and selling the pass.

"As for the reason, you'll know when you see him play."

After losing to Guus Hiddink's Russia at the European Championships, the whole of the Netherlands is looking forward to a chance for revenge.

In order to cope with this friendly match, the squad called up by the Netherlands this time is exactly the same as the one for participating in the international competition.

It's almost an all-main lineup.

The players of the Dutch team are gearing up.

They want to take revenge on the territory of the Russians.

...

Levi is still training day in and day out at RCD Espanyol's training camp.

During this time, he met with Mendes twice, and the latter said that he would talk to him about some suitable sponsorships and wanted to help Levi rent a suitable place to live in Barcelona first.

But Levi said that it would be better to choose the address by himself after the salary came down, and rejected Mendes's offer.

The overly clever Mendes immediately mistook him for a property in Barcelona.

Then I thought about Levi's real intention of agreeing to the Spaniard on loan, whether he wanted to return to Barcelona.

was denied by Levi again.

Levi then met the Espanyol coaching staff and players who had returned from their pre-season campaign, many of whom had already played against him in the warm-up matches, including captain Halque and goalkeeper Christian.

Halke, who had personally experienced Levi's abilities, expressed a very warm welcome to his joining.

The Espanyol Academy player has an extraordinary passion for the club.

Even though his strength as a central defender has long attracted the attention of many strong teams, and even some giants have extended an olive branch to him, he still stays at Espanyol.

To Levi's surprise, the two players who were originally favored by the giants in this transfer window and left the team in an uproar.

Zabaleta, who was supposed to move to Manchester City.

Riella who moved to Liverpool.

The gradual clarity of the financial situation due to the arrival of Espanyol's new shareholders did not materialize this season, and Espanyol is even planning another transfer or two.

It's just that there is no news yet.

La Liga doesn't start until the end of the month, and he really doesn't have much to do during this time except training.

On August 7, the Chinese Olympic team drew 1-1 with New Zealand, and Dong Fangzhuo scored the first goal.

On August 8, Levi watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on television, which shocked the world.

On August 10, the national Olympic team lost 0-2 to Belgium.

On August 13, the national Olympic team lost 0-3 to Brazil.

Li Wei paid attention to the last two games with cerebral palsy, and felt in a very bad mood after watching it, so he looked at the other events of the Chinese team, and the gold medal list was far ahead, and then it was cloudy and sunny.

Soon after, Levi boarded a plane to Amsterdam, where he would take part in a two-day training camp.

Then fly to Russia for a friendly match.

Levi was born in The Hague, the Netherlands, and was not familiar with Amsterdam because he was too young to be in the Ajax Academy.

He searched websites ahead of time and looked up some stores that sold sporting goods and gym equipment.

If you want to mix in the Dutch team, you can't play the ball well.

Otherwise, even Huntelaar would dare to bully him.
