‘It was after my year at Fenerbahçe, I wanted to leave’, that’s how Van der Wiel begins his story. ‘My wife was pregnant. I was threatened by the president in Turkey, so I had to leave there – almost literally – at the risk of my own life.’
‘I wanted to go to Amsterdam’, he continues. ‘I wanted to go back, so that the little one could be born there too. I was picked up for free, but unfortunately there was no interest from Amsterdam.’
After a disappointing end at Paris Saint-Germain and a lesser period in Turkey, it was another blow for Van der Wiel. ‘It was really disappointing for me as an Ajax boy. Why I don’t know and I may never know. But it is how it is. It was the umpteenth blow to football for me.’
