From Professional Footballer to Successful YouTuber: The Fascinating Life of Andy van der Meijde Andy van der Meijde started his football career at a young age. At the age of 13 he was scouted and his talent was immediately noticed. He made his debut at Ajax, a dream come true but also brought challenges. Andy found the transition to the first team of Ajax difficult and the tension had a major impact on his performance on the field. He struggled with losing, which sometimes led to arguments with other players on the team. In this candid Real Talk podcast with Fernando Halman, Andy shares that he had a difficult childhood in Arnhem. Although Andy did not want to leave Ajax, he was eventually sold to Internazionale (Inter) in Italy. Here he earned an impressive €80,000 net per month. Despite the considerable salary, Andy lost his joy in football. The joy he experienced at Ajax, he could not find anywhere else. This lack of joy in his game eventually led to him wanting to hand in his contract with Inter. His private life also went through turmoil. Andy's ex-wife hired a private detective to catch him. He met his ex in a strip club and due to his own mistakes, he eventually had to say goodbye to his children. Andy is also very superstitious; he had psychics fly over from the Netherlands to England to advise him. One psychic even predicted that he would meet Melisa, which eventually came true. 0:00 - Intro 3:25 - From professional footballer to Youtuber 5:40 - How I was scouted at the age of 13 8:40 - My debut at Ajax was quite difficult 11:25 - The influence of tension on my performance on the field 12:40 - I couldn't handle losing and even got into fights with other players 14:10 - Difficult childhood in Arnhem 17:00 - I was a classic winger 18:30 - The wrong choices I made in my football career 18:50 - I left my wife for someone else 19:40 - I didn't want to leave AJAX and was sold 22:30 - I earned 80,000 euros net per month at the time 23:40 - The moment I lost the fun in football 25:50 - Why I wanted to hand in my contract at INTER 27:00 - The mistake many footballers make 29:00 - My ex-wife had caught me by hiring a private detective 32:30 - I met my ex in a strip club 35:00 - I had to say goodbye to my children through my own fault 39:00 - Superstition 40:15 - I had mediums flown over from the Netherlands to England 42:00 - I had Johan Cruijff as my profile on the Blackberry 44:00 - I got the car from MIDO and didn't want to leave Melisa anymore 45:40 - I suddenly had 1.2 million in a CFK fund 47:00 - The deceased Thijs Slegers was my best friend 47:30 - Johan Derksen wanted to publish a book of mine 50:00 - Your Wife My Wife VIPS 51:00 - How Melisa and I got into a reality series 55:00 - How I started with El Ghazi in Andy's Car 1:02:00 - Andy van der Meijde found it exciting at Veronica Offside 1:03:00 - Investigation into Mislintat at Ajax 1:04:00 - Andy about Glennis Grace in Real Talk 1:06:00 - Programs about the European Championship 1:08:00 - Paying the rent of strangers via DM 1:08:30 - Canceling a deal with Videoland 1:11:00 - I said no to 1.6 million net per season 1:15:00 - My wife is a smart businesswoman 1:16:00 - Andy van der Meijde's fear of flying 1:19:00 - Fearful moment during swimming 1:20:00 - Zlatan was jealous of Rafael van der Vaart 1:21:00 - Argument with van Nistelrooj 1:22:05 - Edgar Davids had an enormous winning mentality 1:23:00 - Kluivert: the best assumption by a footballer ever in the Netherlands 1:23:36 - Clarence Seedorf gets almost no respect despite his achievements 1:27:30 - The legacy of Andy van der Meijde Check out this podcast and don't forget to respond and leave a loving like if you have subscribed.
