Wesley sneijder


















Also known as the man of Inter Milan man, this star of football world cup (or world cup 2010), Wesley Benjamin Sneijder is next in line to join the Old Trafford stable of stars.
Born on 9th June 1984 in Utrecht, Holland, Wesley Sneijder was a football enthusiast since childhood. At a young age of seven, Sneijder got attached to the Ajax academy along with his elder brother Jeffrey. His younger brother Rodney too is associated with the sport and is a part of the youth academy. As an elder brother, Wesley recommended Rodney that he must excel at the game before he moves to a more advanced club. He signed a full time contract with Ajax at the young age of 17, after which there was no turning back. His debut match was on 22nd December 2002 and the team witnessed a grand 2-0 victory over the SBV Excelsior.
Sneijder got attached to Real Madrid on August 2007 against a price of €27 million after his glorious 57 goals in 180 games, two Cups and the Eredivisie title. With an impressive start at his first Madrid derby verses Atletico match, he took over Beckham's number 23 shirt. He earned the La Liga title in his first season and brought nine goals. Although his first season was pretty incredible, but the following season at Bernabeu wasn't impressive enough. Real Madrid faced defeat against their rival Barca hence Sneijder was compelled to move out. Inter Milan grabbed this opportunity and snapped him at a price of €15million. This midfield star proved to be quite a surprise as he extraordinarily assisted his team with the Coppa Italia, the Serie A and the Champions League Treble. At the young age of 18 Sneijder started playing with Dutch U21 with his debut match against Portugal. Shortly he scored his debut goal for the Oranje in Euro cup 2004 qualifier in opposition to Moldova.
He got married to Ramona Streekstra in the year 2005 and was soon blessed with a son, Jessey a year later. The marriage ended roughly when he was caught red handed with Yolanthe Cabau van Kasbergen, a fashion model, who was the girlfriend of a Dutch pop star Jan Smit. Sneijder remarried in March with the fashion model and recently got baptized in Italy after converting his faith.
This midfielder has been a part of the last four Dutch squads for all important tournaments. He was just a substitue in 2004 but his remarkable performance in the euro cup 2008 left everyone impressed. His team was named team of the tournament after that A specialist at taking free kicks, he became the dead ball expert in every team he played with.
