Van Nistelrooy launches fresh Fergie blast
-
Ruud van Nistelrooy has accused Sir Alex Ferguson of stabbing him in the back.
The Holland international left Old Trafford for Real Madrid in the summer in a £10.5million transfer following a highly-publicised rift with the United boss.
The striker had enjoyed a prolific five-year period with the Red Devils but now he claims he was treated badly by his former manager towards the end of his United career.
Van Nistelrooy said: 'The first three-quarters of last season went well for me but the final part is best forgotten.
'My situation with Sir Alex started to change and it became difficult for me and him to work together.
'I had previously had a marvellous relationship with him. But in February we played the Carling cup final against Wigan and I remained on the bench for the full 90 minutes.
'To me this felt like a stab in the back.' -
SAF doesnt have the best of relationships with his ex-players. check out ince, stam, beckham, RVN, keane (although it seems like they are ok now)

Well, that's true but Ruud van Nistelrooy just need to grow up and realise Fergie also has a job to do and he cannot just because of his friendship with him, he must always let him play even when someone else is playing better at that moment.Originally posted by imprezaWRXSTi22B:SAF doesnt have the best of relationships with his ex-players. check out ince, stam, beckham, RVN, keane (although it seems like they are ok now)
Maybe he will come to accept one of these day that being drop is part and parcel of a footballer's fate when you are not performing well or when age catches up with you.
If he can't accept being drop than i think he will have bigger problems coming his way at Real. Cos Real have a number of good & young strikers and very soon he will have to make way for them too and if his attitude is the same as how he behave at Man u & Holland after being dropped, then Capello won't take it also. -
marco van basten didnt pick him cos he felt the same way as alex did?
-
Yup. After 2 games he didn't perform well, MVB decided to drop him. But when he was told, Ruud wasn't happy and they had an argument and he didn't bother to train seriously with the team... That was why, when Holland was losing their 3rd game, MVB didn't bring him on and decided to bring someone else in cos he was upset by Ruud's behaviour and reaction to being dropped.
Unfortunately, the guy has been playing 1st team for too long that he cannot accept being drop by the coach. -
capello is a strict coach isnt he?
-
Yeah very strict no nonsense kind of coach... Soon Ruud will realise capello is no push over also and he will forgive Fergie like the rest have...Originally posted by imprezaWRXSTi22B:capello is a strict coach isnt he?

to him fergie may have backstab him, to me it seems like he can't accept being drop
-
yeah. if he is so damned good, man utd wouldnt have disappointed the past 3 seasons.
-
woah...u doing him an injustice by passing such comment.Originally posted by imprezaWRXSTi22B:yeah. if he is so damned good, man utd wouldnt have disappointed the past 3 seasons. -
u can't blame one player for a team's failure. why not u say how many times has he goals rescued man utd?he's abit egoistic, but no doubt one of the best finishers.Originally posted by imprezaWRXSTi22B:yeah. if he is so damned good, man utd wouldnt have disappointed the past 3 seasons.

his fantastic goal ratio could have been mantained if there were regular supply from the flanksOriginally posted by imprezaWRXSTi22B:yeah. if he is so damned good, man utd wouldnt have disappointed the past 3 seasons. -
There was no point keeping him really. Tho he has done well before but clearly he is no longer the player that he is 3 yrs ago... He is now slower than before, didn't have the motivation to run at united cos he was too use to life as an old staff so felt he deserve the extra special treatment and respect.
Fergie treated him well actually... in Dec or Jan when they were selecting a captain, Fergie even considered him together with Neville but felt Neville would be a better choice eventually.
As much as he had done for the team, he should also realise that the team comes first and not his personal feelings. He should understand that Fergie had to do whats best for the team even if it meant giving his place to someone else who is in form at that point.
Players like Teddy Sheringham, Dennis Bergkamp all changed their style of play when they became older. They were mostly used as subs too cos with their talent & experience, they found a way to complement the team and lasted an extra few years with their team.
Ruud badly need to grow up and realise Capello is not going to give him first team games all the time. Very soon, once the new arrival feeling is over... if not this year than next... he will find that he will be on the bench more and more often at Real... Then what is he going to do? Complain about Capello? -
true. but if he is as good as say maradona, he could have held up the whole team, just like maradona lifted argentina. now, he isnt anywhere near maradona is he?Originally posted by kaobeikaobu:woah...u doing him an injustice by passing such comment. -
true. the whole team sucked in general.Originally posted by stellazio:u can't blame one player for a team's failure. why not u say how many times has he goals rescued man utd?he's abit egoistic, but no doubt one of the best finishers. -
it seems that van is unhappy because he was left at the bench.
and so it's the player's fault i guess ? -
in his upcoming years in real madrid, he will be spending more time on bench..Originally posted by =)):it seems that van is unhappy because he was left at the bench.

Ruud van Nistelrooy got his Real Madrid career off to a flying start with a hat-trick in only his second league outing for the club as they cruised to a 4-1 victory over nine-man Levante.
Van Nistelrooy, who also missed a late penalty, showed all of his trademark attacking instincts and paid off the first instalment of his sizeable transfer fee from Manchester United.
Well good luck to him, glad he is doing ok there.
-
he is doing well with beckham..
-
For now i guess. Players like him coming to 30 will slow down very soon. But compare him to Shev, one 10.5m the other 30.8m... who is more value for money?
For 30.8m or whatever price, Shev is begining to look like a flop signing liao. And he is not wine, will get better with age... Droba scoring most of Chelsea goals. -
While Andy Cole does not have the killer finish that RVN possesses, Cole has pace and is willing to work his socks off harassing defenders. On hindsight, Cole looked like a better team player.

anyone miss van nistelrooy?
