Why Summerville flew into assistant Van Nistelrooy's arms after his goal

After just over an hour of play for the Netherlands - Japan, Crysencio Summerville came on and shot a beautiful shot into the far corner for the 2-1. He then ran to the sideline and ran into assistant coach Ruud van Nistelrooij's arms. After the match he explained more about this. The winning goal turned out not to be Summerville's, but the goal was important. He celebrated in front of the dugout, with Van Nistelrooij and the other internationals.


'Ruud and I worked very closely together, for example on finishing. He gave me advice on how to finish better, how to stand and keep my body in position. I promised him that if I scored, I would go to him. As a kind of thank you," Summerville explained to OnsOranje.

'I felt joy, I was very proud. I can't even describe it, this is a childhood dream come true.' The attacker was then shown images of the Orange Legion, in the traditional journey to the stadium. 'This is great, we need this. This gives me motivation. Everywhere we go it's orange. It's nice to see that we are international, we can always rely on our fans.' The fans can return to action on Saturday. Then Sweden is the next opponent at the World Cup.
