It may come as a surprise to you, and it definitely came as a surprise to the new international Netherlands team coach, but Van Nistelrooy is ending his international career. Nobody can say anything about it because Nistelrooy has done so much for his country in soccer, but many people are upset with his departure.
Van Nistelrooy who is 32 years old made his decision recently that he couldn’t play for both Real Madrid and Netherlands. He mentioned the schedules are too close and he wouldn’t be performing his best for either of the teams, so instead of doing that he has fully committed to Real Madrid. All Real Madrid fans will be splendid too hear that Van Nistelrooy has made this decision and now I’m sure he’ll be expected to have a great season.
The Netherlands superstar managed to score a total of 33 goals in 64 games for his national team. His first career international match was played a decade ago, and now it has come to an end. It will be impossible for the Netherlands to replace his skill and experience, and it should be interesting to see how the new coach reacts. Van Marwijk who is the new appointed coach of the Netherlands squad will have a lot of work to do in order to prepare his team without Van Nistelrooy.
Since joining Real Madrid, Van Nistelrooy has already been already to score 41 goals. What is astonishing though is that these 41 goals have come in only 61 games, which are over a goal every two games. Not too many other soccer players have such a high ratio of goals to games and it should be entertaining to watch Van Nistelrooy perform this season.
