The book will be released on Friday Sneijder, the life story of Wesley Sneijder, written by journalist Kees Jansma. In a pre-publication of Football International tells the record international of Orange about his years at Real Madrid, where he was active for two seasons from 2007. The former midfielder experienced many peaks and troughs both on a sporting and personal level.
The former pro got off to a good start. In his first season with Real, he came to 38 duels, 9 goals and 9 assists. “I just didn’t notice that I really gave myself up to Madrid’s nightlife. I was young, enjoyed the success and attention. It must have gone wrong there – later. No drugs, but alcohol and rock ‘n’ roll I got used to that, as one of the stars of The Royal“said Sneijder, who was adored as a Real player.

“Everything that you eat out is covered with the cloak of love. Even if I rolled over the street and spent thousands of euros, or gave rounds to the whole thing. I can not say that I resisted enough. was always a fellow player around, usually Guti. ” Football went well, but privately things went wrong at Sneijder. He divorced his first wife Ramona Streekstra. “I had discovered big life. And it hadn’t been buttering for a long time. Grown apart, that’s what it’s called.”
The divorce was settled quickly, financially. “I was left alone and saw that little one, Jessey, much less. Shit. And I can’t be alone. Why would you be alone if you have enough friends to spend free time with? I just didn’t notice that the bottle of vodka became my best friend. I was pointed out, among others by Robben and Van Nistelrooij. They hammered with discipline. That I would not last long. “
Sneijder eventually found a new love in Yolanthe Cabau van Kasbergen. One morning he was sitting in the coffee bar opposite his house when the boulevard press suddenly burst in. “Where is she? I didn’t know with God what they were talking about, who they were talking about. I just said to photographer Leo Vogelzang that I really liked Yolanthe Cabau, but she was already taken. Leo said that was no longer the case, she only lived with her ex in the same house for a few weeks. Don’t you have her number for me? I asked. I don’t care, he said. “If it ever gets between us, you will get some exclusive photos.” That’s how it went. “
The former midfielder called Yolanthe and told her she thought he was a lot of fun. “She was just out of a relationship. She wanted to relax. I think it was a pretty meaningless conversation. I tried to make her curious about me. At first she didn’t react overly enthusiastically, but eventually we called two hours a day and those conversations dragged me through. “
His second season with Real was said to be ‘dramatic’. Sneijder, who came to 28 games, 2 goals and 3 assists in his second year, was ‘less good and sharp, less concentrated’. “My attitude was unworthy of Real Madrid. I lied to myself that things were going well and my football intelligence kept me going. Physically I slumped. I walked less, disguised a lot with my technique and my kicking technique.”
