I'm better in attack than defense, says Drenthe
Published in FilGoal on 07 - 09 - 2007

Real Madrid wing-back Roysten Drenthe believes he better fulfills attacking duties but does not mind playing in any position upon the request of coach Bernd Schuster.
"It is obvious that I am better in attack than in defense, but I don't mind playing as a left back if the coach wants me to," Drenthe told Spanish daily Marca.
"I'm here for whatever he needs. I'm never going to be troublesome. I'm here to defend this shirt and to triumph with this team."
The 20-year-old, who moved to the Spanish champions from Dutch club Feyenoord in the close season for 14 million euros, was over the moon to have joined such a prestigious club.
"Words can't express what I feel when I put on Real Madrid's shirt. I remember the day I landed and the fans that greeted me in Madrid whenever I wake up, it was incredible."
"Playing for Real Madrid is the greatest thing that can happen to anyone."
Drenthe made his debut in Real's 5-3 defeat to Sevilla in the second-leg of the Spanish Super Cup in which he was on target after firing a powerful long-range shot into the net.
"I was lucky to score a beautiful goal against Sevilla. I hope I score many goals like that because it felt incredible to see the ball go in," he added.
