Playing for Real Madrid is the dream of every player but very few achieve it. Several players have failed when they get hired by this club, the requirement of being in the best team in the world is not easy and in each game they have to demonstrate their talent. The White House is quite demanding and does not allow mistakes.

 

Royston Drenthe was a player who had all the talent to be successful in football. At Feyenoord and with the Dutch National Team he surprised with his abilities. Real Madrid paid more than 10 million euros to hire him, in his first days in Madrid he surprised Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates with his level of play, then his performance was lousy because he liked to be at parties and he failed in the team . He played in various teams such as Alania Vladikavkaz, Kayseri Erciyesspor, Baniyas, Kozakken Boys and Rácing Murcia without success. He now continues to play soccer but not professionally anymore, he also helps people with decency and speech problems.

“I was always nervous about what I was going to do after retiring from football. It takes up so much of your life and there's so much commitment associated with being a professional footballer... But when your career is over you just wonder what's next for you,” said Drenthe.

Now Drenthe has worked in other professions, he was a Rapper but where he is beginning to succeed is in acting. The former soccer player has already done a casting for a Netflix series called Mocro Maffia where he was selected and dreams of being the next James Bond.

 

Drenthe dreams of being the next James Bond 

I loved it, I'm not going to lie. It was a great experience and something he wouldn't rule out doing again. I know Daniel Craig has given up the role of James Bond... Is that the next job for me? I think I would have to work on my English a bit," he said in an interview with Ladbrokes Fanzone.
