Footballer Robin van Persie (Robin van Persie): football career and personal life

To build a successful football career with the current sports and life realities is not an easy task. On the way of the wizards of the ball often arise injuries, scandals or simply unsuccessful choice of the team, as a result of which they can not really reveal themselves and win something meaningful. One such example could be a giant of Dutch football, the star of Manchester United and the Netherlands team Robin Van Persie.

Childhood

The history of Robin's life begins on August 6, 1983. It was on this day in the Dutch city of Rotterdam that in one happy family there was one little man more. However, the family idyll was interrupted three years later, when the boy's parents decided to divorce. By court order, Robin was forced to leave his mother and live with his father, while his two sisters remained with his mother. From this moment in the life of the future football player dark colors prevailed.

He was brought up in one of the most troubled areas of Rotterdam, and therefore, as often happens, gradually became a problem child. Year after year the character became more violent, and who knows what would have happened if the father had not decided to give Robin to the football academy. In Van Persie's hometown there were three football clubs at once. The choice fell on the academy of Excelsior.

First soccer moves, or Skrtle nature

The guy grew up, gradually he showed up the makings of an interesting football player, but problems with the character still haunted him, resulting in a quarrel with the coach, the young man pointed to the door. Problem, but at the same time a talented player sheltered the worst enemy of the "green" "Feynord."

Step by step, training for training, football player Van Persie won the confidence of the coach and began to play on the position of the main center forward. Already in 19 years he was recognized as the best young player of the Dutch championship. For two years in "Feynord" striker scored 14 goals, but to improve the bombardier indicators he was not destined. The whole fault was the once-made character. The rising star of football fell out with head coach Bert Van Marveik. Caught in disfavor, Van Persie was exiled in a double. However, this time he came out of the water, because for a young talent for a year, he was following the London Arsenal. As a result - an easy deal Gunners for just under 3 million pounds.

New call

In the foggy Albion, the Dutch player did not really get along very well at first. He was in the shadow of then-leaders of the attack Thierry Henry and Denis Berkamp. Rare matches for the replacement in the championship of England were replaced by the cup matches held from the bell to the bell. However, gradually the striker won the confidence of head coach Arsen Wenger, which was largely due to the loss of Berkamp and Jose Antonio Reyes.

The Dutchman's debut in the national team of his country took place after the first foreign season in the match with the Romanians. The goal could not be noted, but already in the next football battle, in which the rival was the team of Finland, Robina expected the first scoring success.

Loud scandal

A few days later, the media space, and at the same time the life of Robin, broke a scandal with a bomb. The then Miss Holland accused the player of sexual harassment with aggravating circumstances. The interrogations were conducted for several weeks, during which the football player was imprisoned. However, and failing to gather a solid evidence base, the investigators were forced to close the case for lack of evidence. It should be noted that the wife of Van Persie (a wedding in the Moroccan Morocco, Buhre took place in 2004) did not doubt her husband for a second, she always visited him in prison.

This incident left an indelible mark on the soul of the player. On the assurances of many of Robin's entourage, he became much more restrained in emotional terms, he gained a certain balance. As the footballer himself claimed, after such an unpleasant incident, he realized that any oversight could ruin his life, that he literally goes to the brink.

The next year for "Peach", as many fans from the post-Soviet space lovingly call him, was marked at once with two joyful events: the birth of his son and participation in the world championship in football, in which he though did not appear in any match from the first minutes, but managed To distinguish once.

The sequence of injuries and chances in the national team

Further in the career of the player began a series of injuries, knocked him out of the game for a fairly long time. On the field, he really and permanently appeared only a few months before the start of "Euro 2008". Season in the "Arsenal" was missed, but there was a chance to catch on to the team, and he did not miss it.

At the European Championship Van Persie played in several positions, starting with the central striker and ending with a kind of attacking playmaker. Team Netherlands in this tournament was the most brilliant team. Featuring a wonderful attacking football, they passed the group stage in one breath, helped by the scoring contribution of Robin Van Persie in the number of two goals. However, in the next match, the Dutch suddenly stumbled. Guided by the future team-mate Van Persie on "Arsenal" Andrei Arshavin, the Russian team tram passed through the opponent, grabbing his main victory in history.

The 2008-2009 season began under the star of Robin Van Persie. "Arsenal", led by its leader, scored a cruising course and flaunted at the top of the standings, and the striker pounded many important goals. But the breakthrough was not destined to happen again. In November, the Dutchman was trapped by a new trauma that knocked him out of the game for five months. As a result, the forward was subjected to a mark of 10 goals in 19 matches held, to which 8 assists were added.

The next season - and again a trauma. After recovering, he began to score well, but to help Arsenal could not reach the top. The club was in for failures on all fronts. The team has not seen any trophies for more than five years, and the logical outcome is a massive outflow of leaders to other clubs. Robin stayed and became captain.

At the same time, the Netherlands team triumphantly went on the football fields of South Africa at the World Championships, having won silver and losing only to Spain in the final of the tournament. Not the least role in this success was played by Robin Van Persie.

Recognition as the best player and transfer to the camp of the worst enemy

In the 2011-2012 season, the club, led by Van Persie, broke in, sweeping away everything in its path, and the newly-minted captain in 15 starting matches beat 15 goals. At the end of the season, "Arsenal" again missed the championship cup, but the striker was recognized as the best player in the English championship.

The next year the athlete met already in the camp of Manchester United. Van Persie was bought by the mankunyenians for 24 million pounds. And in the first season, the striker got a championship medal and a solid number of balls on his account. With the arrival of David Moyes as head coach, the forward began to have problems. It is quite possible for him to return to the former club. It remains only to wait. We, perhaps, will soon find out whether the return of the prodigal son will take place with the champion's "ring."
