My personal life, injuries, changes in the technical direction and the club taking another course. I had great moments there, but it was not the right time for a prolonged stay,” explained former soccer player Winwin-Calsports.
Sneijder analyzed Real Madrid and showed his confidence in Xabi Alonso. “Xabi is very intelligent. You could see him even when we played together. I think he will do it well in Madrid. He knows the club, the pressure, and has fresh ideas. I believe in him after what he did with the Leverkusen,” he said, although that, he also wanted to give advice to the Basque coach.

The former player confessed that he still “saddens me” not having won the 2010 Golden Ballthat Messi took. “I had an incredible year: Champions League, domestic double and the World Cup final. I felt that I had done everything. But Messi won, and is a great player. Even so, that people remember me about 2010 means that they saw what I did, and that is what matters,” said Sneijder.
