Drenthe is a popular figure in Dutch talk shows. He speaks very calmly and maturely. He indicated that he left for Real too early at a young age. He lived alone in Madrid, without his parents. Suddenly he had half a million euros in his bank account and due to his impulsiveness he bought a new Porsche. Due to his wealth at a very young age, he also gained many bad friends around him. But Drenthe is now studying as an emergency care provider in a psychiatric center. He said he has finally found a job that fulfills him. He wants to help the weakest in society. Drenthe only plays football at the weekends at a local amateur club.
Hey! Today is my birthday and I got a little caught up in the celebrations and messed up the upload so if you noticed two copies of the same video being uploaded at the same time that was why 😅 PS: Thanks to everyone wishing me a happy birthday, i would thank you all but I'm making up for lost time now, trying to finish next saturday's video
Just give it time, once the new and fun phase is over he finds a reason to fail again. He did this with everything and has not mentality to work for it.
This guy was insanely talented and looked with every cent when Real first signed him but he's clearly proof that talent is nothing without hard work and dedication
Balotelli too. In his early days at Inter they thought they had a legit world beater on their hands. And instead he is remember for two goals for Italy, and a slightly lucky assist for Aguero (albeit at a MONUMENTAL moment in City's history).
@@023achilles you don't have to tell me about Balo, I'm Interista, I've yet to see a forward that was as complete at the age as he was at 17, even competely dominating the Juventus defence in a cup game both technically and physically. However he was a very troubled boy and never realised his true potential.
@@023achilles Reminds me of Ronaldinho. Surely, he had established his legacy in a way but his lack of discipline did ruin not only his career but also his personal life in the end. What a sad story.

Great vid! You should do one on Ihattaren: Debuted at 16 at PSV Eindhoven and peaked at 16… When he was 17 his dad died and it was all down hill from there. He had the potential to be Moroccan Ruud Gullit but instead he went the opposite way. This year Juventus terminated his contract because he is unworkable, he married a TikTok-girl and got kicked out of his house because he didn’t pay the mortgage… Crazy thing is; he’s only 23. I think with his talent he can be making decent money playing football after one year of serious training again, instead this guy seems to be on a path of destruction and he doesn’t leave it for some reason.
@@cristobalbalenciaga7295 So? I've also watched and enjoyed videos about Brazilians I've never heard of. Tbh those were more interesting than videos about neymar or ronaldinho
@@TheBobiaan so were those stories about kids who peaked at 17..? There’s nothing to talk about with ihattaren. His career is to short to be interesting. I’ve seen plenty of stories about brazilians i didn’t know either. But they’re old now and there was a story to tell because they’ve lived a live. Ihattaren isn’t known, doesn’t have a career, and hasn’t lived long enough to be interessting. What is there to tell about this kid?
@@cristobalbalenciaga7295 the fact you don’t know kinda legitimizes a video on him. Right now he is being prosecuted for domestic violence on his former girlfriend who is his wife now…and he recently signed a contract in Prague. Despite the fact he is young there is enough material on this kid to make a Netflix series on him.

He's now helping people who are suffering with depression etc. Last time when i saw him on dutch television, he was telling us, that he has some good stories for these people, to make them laugh sometimes. He said, if they think they're stupid or dumb, i tell them some real crazy shit ;-)
how many great "wonderkids" crumble to arrogance, stress, pressure, ego and don't have the mentality even though they have the talent, its amazing. I'm 31 and I wish I had joined a football club when I was younger.
An interesting detail that is not mentioned here is that Drenthe was also a very talented inline skater. Whilst at Feyenoord, he'd also hang out at the halfpipe and do his tricks. I think he even had pro sponsors or numerous offers, but at some stage football took over and the club couldn't risk him getting injured during 360 flips for red bull. Just shows how talented and also distracted he was from the very beginning.
I remember when he was at Everton and I thought he was going to be one of the next best players in the world. Then I just never heard of him again after his loan and always wondered what happened to him
Funny you mention him. I'm actually in the middle of an FM 2008 save with Hamburg here and he just helped me win the Bundesliga with 30 goals in 33 games. Absolute weapon. AC Milan offered 23 million for him in the summer and the board accepted on my behalf 😢
@@roryslaine7896 i’m peruvian so he’s our national hero and all time top scorer. he even got a nomination for a ballon d’or which is the first peruvian to do so🐐
I always wondered what become of him i remember watching him play about 15 years ago and thinking to myself who is this kid? He could of gone far but he fumbled the many chances he had.
He works in healthcare these days, something he got from a lot of people in his family. Watching recent interviews he's turned into an emphatic, nice and intelligent man.
This is really a sad story of Royston Drenthe boss to be honest with you and I do feel that Real Madrid ditched him because of Marcelo boss but he was a good player,good friends!!!Yet,some of his atrocities made him to lose his true potential and only a miracle can save him to be a quality footballer,good friends!!!🙏
Having the talent is not enough. Discipline, hard work, sacrifice and humility are also very important as well as surrounding yourself with good people.
@@maxgonzalez214 Well, that's definitely not always true and even when pride comes before the fall, the fall might come after achieving everything possible. You can't say Conor McGregor is a failed Athlete or had a failed career. And you can't say Muhammed Ali or CR7 are humble by any means, and they are in top 5 athletes of all time imo. And not just in sports, I am pretty sure I can name more succesful arrogant people than you can list "pride comes before the fall"-cases. Idk what you do for a living, but I can tell you that in the world of finance related jobs, the higher you go through the ranks, the rarer humility becomes. The people I know that make 1M $ a year are very smart, extremely hard-working and more often than not, arrogant assholes. As far as I know and experienced, this is not the case in academics. The best and most influential mathematicians are generally quite humble for example.
Being Dutch he is probably our biggest lost talent and we have had a few. Most recent one being Ihattaren. Also shout out to Foppe De Haan de quoted coach. One of the low key best coaches at the time because he was so club loyal. Being my favorite club SC Heerenveen.
I'm not Dutch but always admire the Dutch above all since the eighties. I knew Drenthe was going to be a problem from a very start of his rise, but I don't know what the hell happened to Ihattaren? There was also a bad timing to some potentially great players like Huntelaar and Makaay which for me suited to win more games for Netherlands but they were lost to seniority and big names in the national squad. I mean Hunter was a pure number 9 who win many tournaments with Jong Oranje but at his peak he bummed into Van Persie, which wasn't a pure 9.
@@TheBobiaan ... Ihattaren allegedly ties with Morrocan mafia, via his girlfriend. Why the Dutch losing so many Morroccan descent footballer is also beyond me. Ziyech, Amrabat, Mazroui plays for Jong Oranje and in the last World Cup they go into semis.
@@marcsugi You basically answered you own question, didn't you? Ziyech didn't get the chance to play for the Dutch national team. I don't think he has any regrets about chosing marocco. Idk what mazroui plays in marocco since they have a world class rwb in Hakimi, but he wouldn't play in the starting 11 in the Dutch squad either
What amazes me is that this hasnt just happend once Ronaldinho went through it drinking at night living with a dead father I just feel like someday we will have a guy who will overcome all of it and become the GOAT
Not the same sport, but Jon Jones parties a lot, probably did drugs, failed a few drug tests and should've probably been in jail and he is arguably the goat of MMA. I'm not sure it could happen in football though since not only competition is hundred times bigger, but because MMA fighters fight once or twice per year, five times at most while top football players have more than 60 games in some years. It is possible that someone has the best tournament or the best season of all time while living recklessly (it could be argued Maradona fits that criterion), but I doubt anyone could do that for a decade or two
I remember him playing in the under 21s tournament one year and bossing it I think it was 2007, Madrid snapped him up real quick after that, it was around the time Madrid were buying a lot of Dutch players from what I remember .
Think I saw him play in that same tournament. I remember talking about him with a friend at school around the same time. We were both convinced he was the next big thing.
The reason why he wasn't called up for the Dutch national team is because the KNVB didn't like him, because he was friends with criminals and thought he was involved importing cocaine. So that was basically his real downfall. Otherwise he would've been playing, he was the best leftback. They just didn't like him.
I'm back could you please do a video about an Egyptian player called Abu treka he is considered the best player in Egypt's history some think he is better than Salah so give him a look
@@ffphala897He used to play well against our SA clubs, especially Pirates and Sundowns, I remember him at Afcon 2006 damn that Egyptian team was something else
HIS MINDSET destroyed his talent. The guy was a PURE talent but he was never a footballer. He never loved football. He is gangster and he will be a gangster, his actions proving this. Even after he "quit" football. What a shame man...😒
I really liked him when he was at Everton. He had the ability to do something special out of nothing. Him and Moyes was always going to end badly though. Shame it never worked out, he could've been a special player.
Attitude, ego women, indiscipline, it seems all wrong thing about fame destroy his career. May god help us to put our head down if we ever found fame and money so sad 😞
One of the advantages an immense talent is that you can screw up over and over again, and still end up with a live other people can only reach if they never screw up ;)
Just goes to show how treating kids like their special just because they're talented isn't the way to go, but clubs only see 💲signs & stroke & fed their egos to keep them around so they can milk them for all their worth. Glad to hear he's found his redemption in helping others, while not a sporting redemption its a human redemption of a man that let his pride destroy him & was humble by life now finds happiness in being just a guy instead of being a playboy millionaire. Sidenote Marcelo was crap & should never be spoken in the same breath as "best" or IMO "good" because someone that can't defend shouldn't be in contention for best left of all time, Roberto Carlos was a great left but he was a meh defender not Marcelo bad but not good either. IMO The best left back of all time is Pablo Madini, there's a reason his number is retired at AC Milan a honor that's rare for football to have a number retired but he's one of only a few to have their number retired because the club felt they'd never have another like him. (honorable mentions to Emlyn Hughes the LB of the great Liverpool teams of the 70s & Paul Breitner of Germany in the 70s the original Roberto Carlos scoring 103 in just a 13 year career as a LB & winning both the German & Spanish leagues 7 times, the European & World Cup with Germany).
Great video👌🏾 Sad to see how Royston failed in his career. He did not have the right people arround him and his background is not the most positive one.
@023achilles Okay maybe not in that aspect. I meant as is an example for young players now regardless of mental issues or not, don't go to a big club too soon.
Talking about left backs, why not make a video about the wonderful Filipe Luis who had a great run with Atletico and retired only last year after an epic stint with Flamengo?
i loved him in the u21, i was so happy when he went to real, he was awesome, i was always picking him in pro evolution soccer lol what a tragic career.
Drenthe isn't an immigrant. he, llike the overwhelming majority of black dutch footballers, is born in the Netherlands. Royston was born in Rotterdam specifically.
It's unfortunate what happened to him. This is when your ego is too big and you think you are more than you really are. If he had had more self-discipline, I can't imagine what he would have been able to do. Maybe he really could have been the next Roberto Carlos. Although I always think that such similes are very bad for the player (or anyone). But at least he found himself in the end and maybe got over his past and learned from his mistakes. Hopefully.
Football, or generally sport clubs should step their psychological care game up, especially young players who pretty often come from poor lifestyles should be cared for better, only in Real Madrid in recent years we had Cicinho, Robinho and Drenthe waste their careers and their lives just because of bad decisions, which could have been avoided by some psychological care.
I will NEVER EVER understand why Drenthe and Owusu abeyi ruined their career. They were on track to become two of the best players ever. Now drenthe has a side role in a tv series and nobody knows what happened to quincy owusu
In the deepest of our subconscious mind humans feel like being "God".. that can do much damage (depression, frustration, anger) to a person when he/she is low on the social ladder. When being very successful it can lead to megalomania. Young people should learn more about psychology in school, being able to analyze yourself in an honest objective way is very important.
super talents like a few to mention = Adriano + Balottellii + Cassano super gifted people and raw talents but bad backgrounds sadly made them last short / drop out

Honestly sounds like a happy ending. He was ona destructive path and instead he helped people and it helped him find himself. That’s poetic honestly

@@Butterfingers1989 he literally has nothing to lose and his ego is sobered down with age😅

Talking about left backs, why not make a video about the wonderful Filipe Luis who had a great run with Atletico and retired only last year after an epic stint with Flamengo?
Best storyteller out
i loved him in the u21, i was so happy when he went to real, he was awesome, i was always picking him in pro evolution soccer lol
what a tragic career.
I always wonder what happened to him, seemingly come and gone with real madrid
Drenthe isn't an immigrant. he, llike the overwhelming majority of black dutch footballers, is born in the Netherlands. Royston was born in Rotterdam specifically.
Drenthe had his best times at Hercules in the Spanish league...
I always saw him on the Legendary Android Real Football... never really knew who he was
6:57, small correction, is Malena Gracia, not Malena Garcia.
Dayum!! Hommie was essentially Balotelli on steroids! I'm glad he was able to finally find somw peace
Drenthe a player which i love him in EA FIFA 08 the biggest prospects but never gets what his talent deservves
High end football content.
It's unfortunate what happened to him. This is when your ego is too big and you think you are more than you really are. If he had had more self-discipline, I can't imagine what he would have been able to do. Maybe he really could have been the next Roberto Carlos. Although I always think that such similes are very bad for the player (or anyone). But at least he found himself in the end and maybe got over his past and learned from his mistakes. Hopefully.
So much what ifs in this guy's career.
I like how you say Roberto Carlouch
When are you going to do Chalana?
At least he’s now contributing to society
The biggest one if in football.
Can u do a documentary on surinamese players that went to play fpr Netherlands?
The goat
Football, or generally sport clubs should step their psychological care game up, especially young players who pretty often come from poor lifestyles should be cared for better, only in Real Madrid in recent years we had Cicinho, Robinho and Drenthe waste their careers and their lives just because of bad decisions, which could have been avoided by some psychological care.
He wanted to say he was ''GOOD'', he just misspoken and misspelled it...hahaha 🤣🤣😂😂
Happy birthday 🎉🎉🎉
Malaga mentioned!
I will NEVER EVER understand why Drenthe and Owusu abeyi ruined their career. They were on track to become two of the best players ever. Now drenthe has a side role in a tv series and nobody knows what happened to quincy owusu
happy birthday.. ❤🎉
Its whole story ends up in one tiny word, "Pride" he said he began to see himself as God
In the deepest of our subconscious mind humans feel like being "God".. that can do much damage (depression, frustration, anger) to a person when he/she is low on the social ladder. When being very successful it can lead to megalomania. Young people should learn more about psychology in school, being able to analyze yourself in an honest objective way is very important.
He finally became better at the end
The greatest left back of all time is Roberto Larcos?! Bro!! Wtaf!!! It’s unquestionably Paolo. Like it’s not even a competition.
Do a video about Edgar David
Wow I’d forgotten about him
I remember him at Everton and then he just disappeared from know where
super talents like a few to mention = Adriano + Balottellii + Cassano super gifted people and raw talents but bad backgrounds sadly made them last short / drop out
Please make a video on gattuso
Best leftback ever
Clint Dempsey and Alex Grimaldo please
Seen to many of these, the importance of a father figure in life
Fatherlessness is the top cause of boys developing from life difficulties to serious criminal behaviors...
He was a beast
Happy birthday
Greatest left back of all time. Errr, Maldini?
