The Demon Boy was born

On June 9, 1984, the protagonist of this article Sneijder was born in Utrecht, the fourth largest city in the Netherlands. Like many football superstars, the strong football atmosphere in the family is very important for a boy's football enlightenment. Words are crucial, Sneijder's father is a fanatical supporter of the local team Eredivisie club Utrecht.

It has become the lifelong pursuit of Sneijder Sneijder to train his children to become professional players. Therefore, Sneijder Jr. spent most of his childhood on the lawn in his backyard with his elder brother Jeffrey and younger brother Rodney. However, gradually, a magical talent emerged between Sneijder and the black and white checkered ball at his feet.

and football

In 1991, Sneijder, who had just turned 7 years old, received a trial invitation from the youth training camp of the Eredivisie giants Ajax. During the trial, Sneijder performed well. Youth training director Holt strongly recommended the team to sign this slightly immature Dutch boy. In this way, Sneijder entered the world-famous "star incubation factory" as he wished.

With the top youth training system, Sneijder's football talent was further released. In eleven years, Sneijder grew from an ignorant boy to a popular star in the Dutch youth training circle, then Ajax Coach Adrian Seth also quickly noticed the youngster and promoted Sneijder to the Ajax first team.

It is worth mentioning that at that time, there were many first-line stars in international football such as Chivu, Mido, Van der Meyde, Ibrahimovic, Heitinga, Maxwell, Van der Vaart, and so on. Ajax, once hailed as the "golden generation" by fans around the world, is no less powerful than the Ajax team that reached the Champions League semi-finals in the 18/19 season.

The Ajax stars of the "golden generation" are gathered together

If you want to occupy a place in such a "Young Guard", you can imagine how difficult it is. However, 02/03 season, Ajax suddenly suffered a large-scale injury wave, so in the Eredivisie match on December 22, 2002, Sneijder, who had just turned 18, took over and made his career debut, helping Ajax defeated SBV Elite 2-0.

Sneijder made a stunning debut and quickly secured the top spot as the team's main central midfielder. In the following two years, Sneijder played 62 games on behalf of Ajax, scoring 15 goals and 15 assists. The perfect answer of assists helped Ajax win the Eredivisie championship. Sneijder's emergence shocked the entire Dutch football world.

During the Ajax period, he scored with his left foot from a long shot.

However, something unexpected happened. On August 18, 2004, in Sweden played against the Netherlands. In an international match, Swedish "Tower" Zlatan Ibrahimovic kicked and injured Ajax teammate Van der Vaart, and Van der Vaart publicly believed that Ibrahimovic was avenging a personal vendetta. The conflict between the two quickly intensified and became irreconcilable. , which also led to civil unrest in the Ajax dressing room.

In the end, Ibrahimovic left Apennines to join Juventus , while Van der Vaart also gradually fell out of favor under Ajax new coach Blind, and in the summer window of 2005, he moved to Bundesliga powerhouse Hamburg ; Ever since, the burden of helping Ajax get back on track fell on the shoulders of young Sneijder.

In the 006/07 season, Sneijder played a total of 47 games for Ajax in all competitions, contributing 22 goals and 13 assists. "Winning the Dutch Cup and the Dutch Super Cup has allowed the 23-year-old Sneijder to achieve the Grand Slam honor at the domestic level in the Netherlands. A broader stage is waiting for the wonderful performance of the Dutch star.

Sneijder's ups and downs at the Bernabeu

Sneijder, who was killing everyone in the Eredivisie, quickly attracted the attention of many giant teams in Europe's five major leagues, and Ajax, which has always been known as the "star dream factory", also attracted the attention of Sneijder. Sneijder's career opened the door, so in the summer window of 2007, La Liga giants Real Madrid stood out from the competition and brought Sneijder to the Bernabeu Stadium for 27 million euros.

The honeymoon period was sweet. Sneijder took over the No. 23 jersey left by David Beckham . Under Schuster, Sneijder achieved a seamless connection with Real Madrid, 38 A performance of 9 goals and 9 assists per game is satisfactory for a young player who has just joined a top club.

Wonderful goals during the Real Madrid period

html In the 007/08 season, Real Madrid had Raul , Ruud van Nistelrooy, Robben, Robinho , and later there were Cannavaro , Ramos , Pepe , Heinze , and the midfielder was supplemented by Sneijder, Guti, and Diarra. After many years of silence, the "Galaxy" finally achieved two consecutive league championships, and also Completely ending the long-term dominance of Barcelona "Dream II" in La Liga.

However, just when Sneijder was preparing to show his ambitions in Real Madrid, fate played a big joke on him. Some people said that Sneijder, who changed to wearing the No. 10 jersey, was "cursed by the white No. 10". Trapped, the Dutch star first suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury, and then his marriage to his first wife came to an end. Sneijder, who was addicted to alcohol and self-narcosis all day long, was unable to fully focus on the court.

Lost its way in the "Galactic Battleship"

In the summer of 2009, Florentino replaced Calderon and returned to serve as the chairman of the Real Madrid Club , The much-anticipated "Galaxy Battleship Phase II" has set sail, but Sneijder's name is missing from the "ticket". While Real Madrid was making crazy purchases in that summer window, the work of purging redundant personnel did not stop. Ned's Real Madrid career also came to an end.

"Mu Niao" joins hands with "Shi Nai" to jointly plan for "Blue and Black Hegemony"

We turn our attention to the Apennines. With the arrival of "Madman" Mourinho in Meazza, Inter Milan completes the "Triple Crown" division The first piece of the puzzle, plus Eto'o , Milito, Lucio, Motta, Pandev have joined one after another, as well as the full assistance of veterans such as Zanetti, Cambiaso, Cesar, Stankovic, Samuel, etc. The prototype of the "Nerazzurri" championship only needs one attacking midfielder to be completed.

joined Inter Milan

At this time, Inter Milan president Moratti targeted Sneijder, who had been listed by Real Madrid. After long and difficult negotiations, At the last moment of the 2009 summer window, Inter Milan signed a contract with 1,500 The Dutch midfielder was signed at the buzzer for 10,000 euros, and the 25-year-old Sneijder began to break into the Apennines.

Facts have proved that the decision of the Inter Milan front office to sign Sneijder at the last moment was extremely correct. Just 3 days after joining Inter Milan, the Dutch star was entrusted by Mourinho with the important task of the main attacking midfielder. Milan Derby Sneijder, who made his debut in the game, performed amazingly, not only causing Gattuso to be sent off with a red card, but also leading the "Nerazzurri" to sweep their rivals in the same city 4-0.

Defeat "Barcelona Universe" in the Champions League semi-finals

Of course, the European football in the 2009/10 season is undoubtedly blue and black. Under the iron-blooded coach of Mourinho, the Inter Milan generals have united sincerely, and with the help of "Prince" Milli Thanks to the famous "four goals to determine three crowns" miracle, Inter Milan successively won the Italian Cup, Serie A and Champions League, becoming the first triple crown team in the history of Italian football.

Holding the St. Bradford Cup high

As the unshakable core, Sneijder used the data of 8 goals and 15 assists in a single season to help the "Nerazzurri" all the way in the European competition. Invincible, breaking through Stamford Bridge, breaking through the Moscow ice cellar, looking down at the night sky of Camp Nou, realizing his dream at the Bernabeu Theater, and finally abandoning his old club on the lawn, the 26-year-old Sneijder looked around the entire Europa, and his career It has also reached its peak period.

Golden Ball Doubts

In the summer of 2010, with the power of the "Triple Crown", Sneijder led the Dutch team to stand on the stage of the World Cup in South Africa, ht The generals of the ml4 "Oranje" worked together to overcome all obstacles and finally met the Spanish team in the final. On July 11, 2010, at the Football City Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, after 120 minutes of fierce battle, the "Matador" fell with one sword. tulip".

Sneijder at the 2010 World Cup

Although he failed to help his motherland change the embarrassing situation of "the uncrowned king", Sneijder, who won the World Cup Bronze Boot and World Cup Silver Ball at the same time, still received applause from fans around the world. The World Cup runner-up and Italy With the blessing of the core midfielder of the first "Triple Crown" team in football history, the 2010 Ballon d'Or was awarded to Sneijder as everyone expected.

However, an objective reality is that since 2010, FIFA has officially merged the two highest honors for professional players, the "Golden Ball Award" and "World Footballer", collectively known as the "FIFA Golden Ball Award" , as a result, the points rules for the selection have also been modified to: journalists' votes account for one-third, and global national team coaches and captains' votes account for two-thirds.

The 2010 Golden Globe Award selection rules changed.

The shortcomings of the reform subsequently emerged. The definition between a star's personal popularity, personal data and personal honors began to become blurred, which in turn led to the Golden Globe Award. The credibility of the award has been greatly reduced, and some fans even ridiculed the Golden Globe Award as a popularity award. In the following more than ten years, stars such as Ribery, Robben, Van Dijk, Lewandowski, etc. He failed to stand out in the competition with the "peerless twins".

Of course, "Sneijder" in 2010 was one of the "victims". The final selection result was that Barcelona's "Dream Three" three heroes took the top three, Messi won the first place, Iniesta and Xavi ranked second and third respectively, while Sneijder, who had been the most popular before, ranked fourth in the selection.

The top three in the 2010 Ballon d'Or were taken by Barcelona.

As soon as the result came out, public opinion was in an uproar. From fans to the media, they all defended Sneijder, but in the end The result has been announced and cannot be changed. All people saw was the scene of Messi holding the Golden Globe trophy and showing a bright smile under the "defense" of Iniesta and Xavi. accidentally missed the Golden Globe Award. It also became the biggest regret in Sneijder's brilliant career.

An old man with great ambitions

Back to the subject, after Inter Milan was crowned the "Treble Champion" as he wished, Chairman Moratti realized his long-cherished wish of the past 20 years, which is to help the Nerazzurri return to glory like his father Moratti. In the "Great International Era", the huge sense of achievement brought by victory also made the willful "Dad Mo" forget the healthy development concept of the rational investment club.

Inter Milan quickly fell from the altar

In order to make his "International Era" last longer, Moratti began to reward himself generously, renewing the triple crown with high salary, rejecting all offers for championship players, some After a series of "faint moves", the "Nerazzurri" unfortunately missed the best opportunity to smoothly complete the upgrade.

With Mourinho's sudden departure from the Santiago Bernabeu, Moratti's wish to retain the King's team was in vain. In desperation, he hired Benitez with a high salary. However, many of the Spanish coach's excessive actions caused the Inter Milan locker room to suffer in disguise. The internal balance gradually became imbalanced, and the European throne belonging to the "Nerazzurri" collapsed in an instant like an epiphyllum.

Farewell to Inter Milan

Frequent coaching changes and constant changes in technical and tactical play have also made Sneijder gradually lose his way forward. Coupled with the impact of frequent injuries, the Dutch midfielder's competitive state has declined significantly, "Sneijder holds the highest salary in the team, but his injuries have prevented him from regaining his form. I have no way to make full use of him," then Inter Milan coach Stramaccioni said helplessly.

is like a lover who was once deeply in love but is now crushed by reality. Only one eye contact can relieve the pain of the other party. In the winter window of 2013, after negotiations on salary reduction and contract renewal could not be negotiated, breakup became The best choice, for 7.5 million euros, Sneijder left for the Turkish Super League and joined Galatasaray. At this point, the Dutch star has officially faded out of the five major European leagues.

Sneijder during the Galatasaray period

Although in the Turkish League, Sneijder gradually regained his former core temperament of swallowing up thousands of miles, but he was far away from the main goal. The embarrassing reality of being in the top leagues ultimately prevented him from returning to the top clubs of the five major European leagues. After playing in Nice and Al Gharaffa, Sneijder officially announced his retirement on August 13, 2019. Seventeen years of professional football journey.

Conclusion

Time always flies by. If we want to say something about youth, let’s thank the past time, thank us for meeting the former Sneijder, and thank the former Sneijder for meeting the former Inter Milan With the Netherlands, when all the endings have been written and all the tears have dried, perhaps that was our youth.
