| Van
Nistelrooy wants to rule with Kluivert |
01
Jun 2003

Either Ruud van Nistelrooy must go to
Barcelona or Patrick Kluivert will have to go to Manchester United. This
would seem the best solution to keep Dutch ace Ruud van Nistelrooy happy
after the prolific goal-machine once again stated that he wants to play with
his international partner next season. It would seem that Van Nistelrooy's
desire to play with Kluivert next season is just as strong has his desire to
play for Manchester United and the Catalan giants attempts to lure Van
Nistelrooy to the club now depend on Kluivert remaining in Spain.
The most likely scenario will be that Sir Alex will snap up Kluivert this
summer to keep his striker happy.
Van Nistelrooy insists that a tandem with Kluivert would be "The best
scoring partnership in the world.
Van Nistelrooy: "We love
working together and I would love it even more if we could practise together
every day and play together at club level. We will be a fantastic
partnership. Sometimes when
Patrick and I play together it is just 'there' between us and that is the
time you feel how special football can be for fans and players. I
cherish those times when we just click in the middle of a game or a training
session with Holland.
We talk loads and loads about our partnership. We sit down and analyse where
we want the ball, where we will be at any given moment in a game and what
each of us expects from the other. That is what helps make a good
partnership into a great partnership. And
the reason that there are not many 'superstar' partnerships in the world of
football is that not many players do that - not many add brains to instinct
when they play together. I have
already had one strike partner with whom it was 'love at first sight' - Luc
Nilis. We played together at PSV before he went to Aston Villa and I came to
United. It doesn't happen often so to have another one with Patrick is a
great joy."
Van Nistelrooy added: "United
had the last super-partnership in world football when Andy Cole and Dwight
Yorke were at their peak together. I
do not think any team in the world has even come close to the partnership
they enjoyed at United - not even Raul and Ronaldo at Real Madrid. But
Patrick and I could because we are so compatible.
