Former Real Madrid man Royston Drenthe never quite fulfilled his potential, and now at 28 is plying his trade with Bani Yas in the United Arab Emirates. And he is certainly making his presence felt.

After upending Al Ain star Omar Abdulrahman on Saturday, the stocky Dutchman offered the 24-year-old a lesson.

"What's your problem? What's wrong with you? Brother. It's football, brother," he seems to say.

It was a miserable Friday for Drenthe, as his side fell to a 4-2 defeat at the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium.
