Remarks reported by L'Equipe and repeated by Algemeen Dagblad, Ruud revealed his unhappiness.

"Considering the fact that he substitutes me systematically, I don't feel any trust in him (Advocaat).

He believes he has no chance of starting in the Euro 2004 play-off matches with Scotland and added: "It will be Kluivert. I have no doubts at all, even though Advocaat hasn't said a word yet.

"I don't like to say it but I feel that it will go like this. I am on the bench against Scotland. But OK, the most important thing is that we qualify."
