After the training session and showering in the changing room, van Nistelrooy did not go to the parking lot. He knew there could be hardcore fans waiting for his signature. Instead, he went straight to the head coach's office and knocked on the door.
When training finished, the players would take a bath, change their clothes, and go home. The coaches often gathered together and went over the day's training report with Twain so he could understand the team's situation.
As he was looking at the reports, he heard a knock at the door. He thought it was Dunn. Without looking up, he said, "The door isn't locked, just come in."
Van Nistelrooy pushed the door and said, "Sir."
Twain looked up and was a little surprised. He asked, "What's the matter, Ruud?"
van Nistelrooy nodded. "Well, there is something I've been thinking about for a long time. I think it's better to tell it to you, sir. "
