Life Journey

The Wissam Ben Yedder Biography here gives you additional details about his Childhood Story, Early Life, Parents, Family, Wife to be, Lifestyle, Net Worth and Personal Life. We are going to share with you the full story of a football genius known by the nickname “BenyeGOAL.” in a nutshell.

From the days when he began his career to the time when he became well-known in the game, we follow his progress. In order to give you a taste of the engaging nature of Wissam Ben Yedder’s biography, here is a pictorial summary of his life.

The fact that he is a prolific striker who is a supremely talented player with a keen eye for goal is no secret at all. However, the Biography of Wissam Ben Yedder is only a few of those that have taken the time to read it, which is quite interesting. Without further ado, I’d like to begin with the discussion.

Wissam Ben Yedder was born in Sarcelles, France on the 12th of August 1990. His parents were Tunisians. His beautiful and talented parents, who are from Tunisia, have a French national with Tunisian roots. He is the fourth child of a family of six children.

Ben Azelart Net Worth, Early Life, Career, & Personal Life

It is believed that Wissam Ben Yedder grew up in Sarcelles, France, alongside his childhood friend and fellow footballer, Riyad Pilahrez. At that time, his neighborhood of Sarcelles, a commune in the northern suburbs of Paris, was notorious for a series of violent acts from which the residents of African migrant families suffered the most.

Yedder grew up in one of the toughest neighborhoods in the French capital, where he experienced a tough upbringing that saw him overcome many obstacles. Due to repeated violence, his parents were forced, out of fear, to move their family to a nearby town named Garges-les-Gonesse.

During his time at Garges-les-Gonesse, Ben Yedder took up playing Football as a source of solace away from his own troubles. In Garges-les-Gonesse where he first started kicking a soccer ball a long time ago, Wissam Ben Yedder had the same dream as thousands of other children growing up in Garges-les-Gonesse, to play professional football as a professional. Football has been occupying his mind since he was a very young child.

In the mornings, if we did not have to go to school, he would usually wake me up at eight o’clock in the morning and tell me to come to play against him.”

Ben Yedder’s childhood friend Daniel Mendy told SoFoot magazine about Ben Yedder. It was not uncommon for Ben Yedder to play the game in the rain and snow, something which was not always approved of by his parents.

He would most of the time complain to his parents about how he was endangering his health as well as how late he always came home after playing football (UEFA reports).

As opposed to playing with children of his own age, Ben Yedder was always looking for opportunities to play at a higher level in order to challenge himself. His most vivid memory as a child was when he was asked to play with the older boys by the children’s mother, who said:

“Hey, we want you to play on our team. We’d love to have you.”

This gave little Ben Yedder a great deal of pride and the desire to keep doing what he excels at. After a short time, however, he had already decided that he would begin a career.

It is not very well known to many football fans, but Ben Yedder’s love of the game and his insatiable appetite led to him joining a variant form of football called “Futsar”.

This is a kind of football activity that is played on a hard court that is smaller than the actual football pitch, and it happens mostly inside. As soon as Ben Yedder joined the club, he was quick to make an impression thanks to his skills, which were perfectly suited to the indoor game.

Ben Yedder was one of the most skilled players in the tournament. He possessed a faultless first touch, technical dexterity, a low center of gravity, and the capability to finish. As he grew in the game, Ben Yedder was able to help his Futsal teammates win football tournaments between estates, and over the years, he helped his teammates win many tournaments.

As a teenager, Ben Yedder continued to have fun with futsal at the Gymnase Allende Neruda in Garges-les-Gonesse until he reached his midteen years. I am very very very surprised at the number of people on this planet who can claim to have seen Wissam Ben Yedder had a good time on a futsal field, compared to YOU who are reading this article.

In just a few short years after the turn of the new millennium, Ben Yedder began to rethink whether to continue playing Futsal or switch over to football. It took Ben Yedder until 2006 for him to realize that football and NOT futsal were his true calling. After seeing the French team making it into the finals of the 2006 World Cup, Wissam Ben Yedder had a complete change of heart.

It was in 2007 that Wissam Ben Yedder decided to move to Saint-Denis where he dedicated himself exclusively to playing football on grass, a decision which eventually paid off. The Saint-Denis native honed his skills at Saint-Denis, earning him a senior career call-up. Because of the wealth of experience Ben Yedder had gained during his time with Futsal, it was easy for him to make the transition to senior football.

Originally, this happened with another French club, WA Alfortville, which played in France’s amateur fourth tier at the time. Ben Yedder became the subject of transfers to top French clubs after he scored goals after goals.

In his career, one of the most memorable moments was the day he performed a miracle in front of an admirer. In this narrative, we will share what happened. On one blessed day, Michel Moulin, a former sporting advisor at Paris Saint-Germain who had ties to Toulouse, a top-tier French club, instantly fell under the spell of a man known for scoring goals, Ben Yedder. Giving the account of his story, he once said:

“I was told about a young player that was a phenomenon and was eager to go watch him play. I gave him a chance and I told them after 15 minutes, ‘LILLE, you have brought something special to this team.”

During an interview with RMC Sport, Moulin explained the situation. Mouline unsuccessfully sought to sign Ben Yedder before he was snatched up by Toulouse, thanks to a phone call from Toulouse president Olivier Sadran. It has been a long road for the Seville forward since he left the suburbs of Paris. Since leaving the football club he has seen his career go from strength to strength.

In Champions League play against Manchester United on March 13 2018 Ben’s redder made his international debut as a substitute and scored two brilliant goals against the league leaders. It was this feat that gained him a call-up to the French national team and also made top European clubs beg for his signature, among them was Manchester United. I guess the rest, as they say, is history.

With his rise to prominence, there has been no denying the fact that football fans have asked if he has a girlfriend, whom Wissam Ben Yedder’s wife is, or any other questions regarding his relationships. There is no strong female presence in Wissam Ben Yedder’s social media posts at the time I am writing this article, other than a picture with a mysterious blonde who appears to be his wife from all indications.

I am assuming that, based on the date that the photo was published on social media, the two lovers have been together since after June 2017. The information you get about Wissam Ben Yedder’s personal life would help you to get a complete picture of him.

I would like to begin by saying that Ben Yedder has a special motto in life which is “To keep smiling”. In spite of the present circumstances, he believes in faith and self-belief even when things are not going well. Like the rest of us, soccer players also love their pets, and Ben Yedder is no exception to that rule.

Even though there is a saying that there is no loyalty left in modern-day games, it surely doesn’t take into account the special relationships shared between Wissam Ben Yedder and his pet dolphin. Despite this, Ben Yedder has a real passion for horses. In his own words, he is a “Philippe, which is a name that refers to a person who is a horse lover.”

The secret to Wissam Ben Yedder’s success can be attributed to his upbringing in his family home and also to his Futsal education.

With the Wissam Ben Yedder family members, there is never a dull moment when they get together occasionally during their holidays in Tunisia. His commitment to making sure that his father, mother, brothers, and sisters are comfortable can be equated with his commitment to his career.

It seems that all the members of Wissam Ben Yedder’s family are devout Muslims by their religious beliefs. Nevertheless, there is some evidence that Ben Yedder is a Jew due to the fact that his name is Ben.

Wissam Ben Yedder earns a healthy salary from his professional career as a football player. Even though earning millions of Euros doesn’t necessarily translate to a glamorous lifestyle, as can be seen in the case of C Ronaldo and Mario Balotelli. They prefer to look casual or simple, rather than dressing up to the nines.

The only picture that Ben Yedder has posted on Instagram is one of him flying in a helicopter that he rented during his summer vacation. In conclusion, Wissam Ben Yedder has chosen to live a healthy lifestyle over the years. There is a chance that you have heard of Ben Yedder as a player who is adept at shooting with both feet, and scoring goals with his feet.

However, you might not be aware of the fact that he has also become proficient in boxing, a form of hidden sport to which he sometimes devotes his time. Ben Tedder had once broken his right foot while he was a teenager. When he broke his right foot he could not wait for recovery. He turned up for training with the lower half of his right leg in a plaster cast.

Ben Tedder, who had his left foot amputated about a year ago, decided to go to hardcore training with the foot he still had rather than watch from the sidelines as he awaited his recovery. As soon as the cast was removed from his right foot, he was insistent on using his left as well, seeing it as equally important as his right. This can be explained as the reason why, just like Pedro, he scores great goals with his left foot whenever he uses it.

Three Celebrities Who Are Well-known Casino Lovers

Dante Vanzeir (born 16 April 1998) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays for Union SG and the Belgium national team. During a loan spell at Beerschot VA in Belgium’s second-tier – Belgian First Division B in 2018/19, KRC Genk academy product Dante Vanzeir scored 13 goals and made two assists. Beerschot finished the season as the joint-second-highest goalscorer in Belgium’s second tier, with him playing a key role in the club’s success.

In the following season, Vanzeir joined KV Mechelen, who had been promoted over Beerschot in 2018/19. Despite a lack of consistent first XI minutes that season, Vanzeir ended the campaign with just three goals in 752 league minutes. After that season with Mechelen, Vanzeir’s ability at the First Division A level looked questionable, so he left his parent club, which regularly competes at the top of First Division A and participates in continental competition, to join second-tier Royale Union Saint Gilloise. USG has extended its contract until June 2024.

Facts About Dante Vanzeir

• According to Wyscout, Vanzeir scored 19 goals from 12.53 xG in 2020/21. With four penalties, this was the third-highest xG and joint-most goals scored of any striker in the division.
• Vanzeir received a lot of high-quality goalscoring opportunities last season and took a lot of shots – an average of 2.48 per 90 minutes, the seventh-most of any striker in First Division B – and hit the target with a large number of shots—53.85%, also the seventh-most among strikers.
• 36.538% was the best conversion rate for a striker who had played at least 600 minutes in the league.
• Vanzeir has scored four league goals this season via blindside runs.
• His fifth goal came from a run-in behind a relatively high backline, which is another way the 23-year-old forward scores.
• The build-up to this type of goal generally doesn’t require Vanzeir to take more than one or two touches before shooting.
• Vanzeir’s off-the-ball movement – an area where he’s really strong – plays a starring role in this type of goal.
• With one or two touches in the box, he puts himself in a position to score off the ball.
• Vanzeir is a good ‘poacher’, and the skills he demonstrates more than live up to the ‘goal poacher’ moniker as a whole.
• Vanzeir is capable of passing creatively. He wouldn’t have been able to provide as many assists during his time at USG if he hadn’t done that.
• From our previous analysis, we also know Vanzeir is not very active in the build-up, preferring to work off the ball during possession phases and find space in the box from where he envisions himself ultimately scoring a high-quality goal.

Arsenal purchased Xhaka from Borussia Mönchengladbach for a cost of about £30–35 million on May 25, 2016.

Cedric Itten Biography, Club, Girlfriend, FIFA 22, Net Worth & Wiki

2019-2020

On September 27, 2019, Arsenal manager Unai Emery stated that Xhaka will be the Gunners’ next captain, succeeding Laurent Koscielny.

Granit Xhaka was criticised after being substituted in the 61st minute of the match against Crystal Palace at Emirates Stadium on October 27, 2019. When his name was announced to be replaced, a number of the Arsenal fans began to applaud.

As he went off the field, he was booed, and he retaliated by making various sarcastic gestures and aggressively yelling “fuck off” twice to the spectators who jeered his name. He also took off his jersey before heading down the tunnel.

After the game, Xhaka’s actions were heavily criticised, and manager Unai Emery called Xhaka’s actions “wrong.” Emery also recommended that Xhaka apologise. The club stated on October 30, 2019, that Xhaka will be provided counselling.

Granit Xhaka later explained the situation to Arsenal through Twitter. Xhaka was deprived of the captain’s armband on November 5, 2019, only a month and a week after his appointment. After previously serving as vice captain, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was named captain.

Following this event, Xhaka took a break from the first team squad, and it was widely assumed that he would depart Arsenal during the approaching January transfer window.

Granit Xhaka was reintroduced into the team as a crucial player under new manager Mikel Arteta and experienced a big uptick in his form for the club, slowly beginning to win over the supporters with whom he had previously had an oft-fractious relationship.

2020-present

Granit Xhaka was picked to start the FA Cup Final against Chelsea on August 1, 2020, and went on to collect his second winners’ medal as Arsenal won their 14th FA Cup.

On August 28, 2020, Xhaka started in the 2020 FA Community Shield, which Arsenal won 5–4 in a penalty shootout over Liverpool after the match was 1–1 after 90 minutes. Arsenal will play Burnley in a Premier League match on December 13, 2020.

After a fight with Dwight McNeil and afterwards grabbed Ashley Westwood by the neck, Xhaka was sent off in the 56th minute. Burnley finally won 1–0 when teammate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored an own goal in the 73rd minute.

He scored his first Premier League goal of the 2020–21 season on December 26, 2020, from a free kick in a 3–1 home win over Chelsea.

Granit Xhaka was sent a red card in the first leg of an EFL Cup semi-final against Liverpool on January 13, 2022. It was his seventh red card in his Arsenal career overall. The game finally ended in a stalemate.

International Career

Switzerland youth squads

Xhaka has represented Switzerland’s junior team at the U-17 level. At 2009, he competed in the Under-17 World Cup in Nigeria. The Swiss national team won the World Cup.

He made his debut for the Switzerland national under-19 football team as a replacement on May 25, 2010, as the squad defeated the Austria national under-19 football team 3–2 at the Schwaz, Austria. On September 7, 2010, he scored his first goal for the U-19 squad in a 3–0 victory over the Czech Republic.

Switzerland under-21

Granit Xhaka made his debut for the under-21 squad as a substitute on September 3, 2010, when the team defeated the Republic of Ireland 1–0 at the Cornaredo Stadium in Lugano. This was the last game in Group 2’s qualification for the 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship.

Xhaka was a part of the Swiss U-21 squad that competed in the final event, which was hosted by Denmark from June 11 to June 25, 2011. The Swiss squad reached the final without surrendering a goal, however they were defeated 2–0 by Spain.

Senior Team

2011-2017

Granit Xhaka was uncertain whether to play for his own country or Albania before making his international debut for Switzerland, and he complained to the Albanian sports media that the FSHF was neglecting him while the Swiss Football Association was showing considerably more interest.

On 4 June 2011, Xhaka made his debut for Switzerland against England in a 2–2 UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying tie at Wembley Stadium. In his sixth international game, he scored his first international goal in a 1–0 away win over Luxembourg at the Stade Josy Barthel on November 15, 2011.

Switzerland again attempted to recruit Xhaka to compete in the Olympic Football Tournament in 2012, but he chose to stay at his current club for pre-season training.

He played in all ten of Switzerland’s 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches, scoring both goals in a 2–0 win against Slovenia. Xhaka became a part of Switzerland’s 2014 World Cup roster by national coach Ottmar Hitzfeld on June 2, 2014. Xhaka scored in the team’s second encounter, a 5–2 loss against France.

Granit Xhaka was included to Switzerland’s Euro 2016 squad, which kicked off against Albania in Lens. Xhaka faced up against his brother Taulant, whose team won 1–0. He was named the match’s MVP. Xhaka played every minute of Switzerland’s campaign, which concluded in the round of 16 with a loss to Poland at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard; following a 1–1 tie, he was the only player who did not score in the penalty shootout.

2018-present

Before the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, there was talk that Xhaka may transfer allegiances to represent Kosovo, which had been admitted as a full member of FIFA and was now permitted to play competitive matches for the first time.

Granit Xhaka, on the other hand, released an open letter in which he stated that his participation in Euro 2016 barred him from changing his allegiance. Therefore, he was bound to Switzerland.

Xhaka was nominated to Switzerland’s 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia by manager Vladimir Petkovi. On June 22, he equalised with a long-range shot as the Swiss rallied from behind to overcome Serbia 2–1.

He and teammate Xherdan Shaqiri, who is also of Kosovar heritage, celebrated their goals with an eagle gesture like the Albanian flag’s double headed eagle. FIFA penalised each player 10,000 Swiss francs for “unsporting behaviour according to fair-play rules.”

In the absence of Stephan Lichtsteiner, Vladimir Petkovi appointed Granit Xhaka as a temporary captain, which drew criticism from former Swiss international Stéphane Henchoz, who claimed that Xhaka could not properly represent Switzerland due to his Albanian heritage.

He instead suggested that Lichtsteiner, Yann Sommer, or Fabian Schär serve as captain. In an attempt to entice Xherdan Shaqiri back to the national team, Xhaka offered him the leadership in September 2019.

Granit Xhaka FIFA 22 Stats

Facts about Granit Xhaka

• While he is a solid player at the base of midfield, Xhaka is also not exactly a tidy player. Xhaka is not one of the fastest players on the pitch. Teams tend to try and expose that weakness by getting midfield runners to run at him.
• He also has trouble keeping his temper in check at times. He finished the 2016 Bundesliga with three red cards. Nobody else in the league had three.
• Xhaka’s parents are originally from Kosovo, but they moved to Basel, Switzerland where Granit was born. Football runs in the family and his elder brother Taulant Xhaka, one-and-a-half years older than him, is a defender for Albania.
• After a terrible start to the 2015-16 season, Manager Lucien Favre resigned. The new manager Andre Schubert’s first move was to replace the injured captain Tony Jantschke with Granit Xhaka. This happened right before his 23rd birthday. To lead a team at just 23 is no joke.
• Xhaka loves the number 34. It was his jersey number back at Basel. He even has it tattooed on his back.
