Former Real Madrid Star's Son Shines in the Netherlands

Liam van Nistelrooy is delivering a dazzling performance at Eindhoven.

According to the report of "Varzeh Se", is the son like the father? Liam van Nistelrooy (born in Madrid, 2008) is scoring goals in PSV's youth ranks. The name on his shirt, which used to bear his mother's last name, Slotts, is not deceptive. He is the son of Rod van Nistelrooy. In fact, he was born in Spain when his father was playing for Real Madrid (2006-2010). In addition to his talent for scoring, he has a stout body similar to his father. He is 1.90 meters tall and plays in the same position as his father, a striker.

Last summer, the goal he scored over the Chelsea goalkeeper's head in front of his father went viral. He moved from the midfield and with a Van Nistelrooy-style chip shot, he led PSV's youth team to the Otten Innovation Cup final. Rudd, now Xavi Hernandez's assistant in the Netherlands, could only smile.

His start to the season has certainly been promising: he has scored six goals in just five games and 267 minutes. In other words, on average, he scored a goal every 45 minutes. In addition to three goals in three league matches with the under-19 team, he has also scored three goals in two UEFA Youth League games.

Liam, who was in the starting line-up, scored the winning goal in a 1-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk and then scored twice in just five minutes (he came on for Austin Jones in the 85th minute) in a high-scoring 6-1 win over Leipzig. In the 88th minute, he scored his team's fifth goal after a spectacular solo move, passing his defender with his left foot and scoring the ball with his right foot. Then, in the 91st minute, he scored the sixth goal with a non-stop shot on Giuncio Sabajo's pass.

After extending his contract from 2025 to 2028, PSV announced while standing by his father's side: "He has a great goal-scoring ability and his instincts help him be in the right place at the right time. In addition, he is always entrusted with the responsibility of taking penalty kicks. His game intelligence and leadership abilities are also known."

We have to wait a little longer to see him in the senior team. Ruud van Nistelrooy has gone through two completely different periods at PSV. He joined this club in 1998 from Heerenfin and scored 77 goals and 20 assists in 90 matches. He returned to this team as a head coach in the 2022-23 season and won an elimination cup and a super cup.
