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.

Life Journey

The Full Story of an Argentine Defensive Genius Known as “Becho” by Woodgram.

Marcos Rojo Biography Facts provides you with a detailed account of his life’s events from childhood to the present.

An analysis of Marcos Rojo’s life before fame, family life, and off-pitch facts is included. Marcos Rojo’s biography is quite interesting, although most people know about his defensive abilities.

Let’s get started now without further ado.

The Early Years

For starters, Faustino Marcos Alberto Rojo was born on March 20th, 1990 in La Plata, Argentina. He was born to Carlina Rojo and Marcos Rojo Snr.

He grew up in El Triunfo, an impoverished city 40 miles from Buenos Aires (Argentina’s capital). It’s known for its notorious criminal gangs and football fans.

At the tender age of 4, Marcos’ parents enrolled him at Estudiantes LP to kick-start his career in a non-crime-prone area in La Plata. The defender takes his first steps in the beautiful game as a child in the picture below.

For a long time, we rode bicycles. He used to sell stuff on the street and pick me up from home. It was quite a long trip and I would get pretty warm while he drives his bicycle!”.

Inigo Martinez Biography, Age, Parents, Wife, FIFA 22, Career, Net Worth & Wiki

Football’s Early Years

In order to get to training, Red had to cycle around 20 kilometers from home to his training ground. In order to become a professional footballer, he had to make a lot of sacrifices. “I could see his passion,” said Rojo Snr (his dad). Because he would go after every ball, I saw myself in him.

“He was always different from the other boys.” Gabriel San Millan, the club’s youth coach, also recognized Marcos’ potential and helped him develop his talent. “Technically, he was a good player,” San Millan said.

According to him, he had good skills and a good foundation. The one thing that always stood out about him was his desire to improve. Alonso’s evolution as a player was incredible. Physically, he began to develop when he was 18 or 19.

Getting To Fame Story

In his teenage years, Marcos played for Estudiantes, a team in the Argentinian First Division. Fighting blighted Marcos’s teenage years, and he quit school early. Robberies, fights, and even deaths are common.

His savior was football. Since he was a child, he has always played football. It’s always football, day or night. There were a lot of fights between Marcos and his friends. There are too many conflicts and he gets very angry.

On these streets, it’s the norm. It’s important to be strong. In his late teens, Marcos won the Copa Libertadores and then played for Spartak Moscow and Sporting Lisbon. Argentina went all the way to the final before losing to Germany at the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil.

This Is Eugenia Lusardo’s Story – Marcos Rojo Wife

Rojo is happily married to Eugenia Lusardo, a lingerie model from Lisbon. When Rojo was at Sporting CP, the lovers met and fell in love. Eugenia was working at the Lisbon-based lingerie company Dama de Copas at the time.

A lady of enamored beauty, she is. Morena (whom they affectionately call ‘More’), Martina, and one newborn girl are the couple’s daughters. Argentine Rojo’s life with his stunning model girlfriend Eugenia Lusardo is a world away from his upbringing in a poor neighborhood.

In The Affair

Rojo had an affair with a woman he met at a nightclub in December 2014. After accusing her of blackmail, he took out an injunction to prevent newspapers from publishing his name.

In April 2015, the injunction on his name was lifted due to concerns that other footballers might be suspected of the affair, but it remains in effect to prevent any images of Rojo from being released.

Family Life of Marcos Rojo

Football has saved Marcos from a life on the tough streets of El Triunfo and lifted his family out of poverty.

The sources show Marcos and his mother, Carlina, who is the greatest beneficiary of his wealth and success.

A little Bit About The Father Of Marcos Rojo

Rojo Snr, known as Titi, was a former amateur player with El Cruce who inspired his son to get into the game at an early age.

Marcos’ father sold street-corner churros for just £2.50 a day, enough to feed Marcos and his four siblings – Franco, Noelia, Micaela, and Sol.

An Attack On The Family Of Marcos Rojo

Due to his fame and fortune, Marcos Rojo’s family back home lives in fear of being murdered. His dad has already been beaten up by criminals in Argentina, and his mom has been shot.

A gang member who stormed into his childhood home threatened to kill his nine-year-old sister Sol and one-year-old Godson. Their goal was to get their hands on some of the millions of pounds he frequently sends back to his family.

A cleaner at Old Trafford famously revealed his colossal earnings.

Fear Of The Family

Franco and Noelia Marcos have bravely spoken out about their fears that their family is being victimized by Marcos’ success. An exclusive interview with media revealed that the family has stopped answering their door since he joined Man Utd in August.

From her home in La Plata, Noelia said: “We are always scared. Marcos is the reason they target us. Everyone knows the house. It is imperative that we take every precaution, and we don’t answer the door to anyone.

Bars had to be installed on all our windows – the front, the back, and the upstairs doors. Being Marcos Rojo’s family is dangerous. It’s our home, so we won’t leave.” Angry at the gang attack on her mother and father’s home, she posted a picture of the aftermath on her Twitter account.

Marcos, outraged, demanded the police find the perpetrators – they never did – and denounced them on Twitter. A work-permit issue caused by allegations of an attack in Marcos’ hometown held up the deal when Marcos joined United in the summer.

The Management Of Losing Situations

Franco, his brother, said, “He wanted to be Veron and would pretend to be him when playing football at home.” It is not uncommon for Marcos to stay alone for days after a defeat if his team has lost a critical game.

After Argentina lost to Germany in the 2014 World Cup Final, Marcos didn’t speak or see anyone for nearly a week. It is possible for him to be upset for many days at a time. Rojo remains angry.

He needs to be left alone for a while so he can come back calm. Rojo took about five days to recover after the World Cup. He turns off his phone and doesn’t speak to anyone. Manchester United hasn’t experienced it yet.”

The Controversy

He caused controversy once after posting a picture of Pablo Escobar on his Instagram page with the caption: “The only people who will be able to eat at my table are those who went hungry with me and stood by me during a difficult time in my life.”

When confronted, Marcos said the post was no big deal and added: “I liked the saying and the words.” Perhaps, he had seen Escobar’s life story on TV and liked the words. That doesn’t mean anything.

He actually supports what he did. Even so, Marcos hasn’t forgotten his roots and ensures that his success benefits his entire family. If he had followed his other passion in life, which is singing, that might not have happened. If Marcos couldn’t be a footballer, he wanted to be a singer. As a matter of fact, he sings and dances at all the family gatherings and parties.

Eating Banana On The Pitch

One of the major talking points from Manchester United’s Europa League victory over Rostov was Rojo eating a banana on the pitch! With Juan Mata’s second-half strike, Jose Mourinho’s side reached the quarter-finals 2-1 on aggregate.

Ashley Young was seen handing Rojo a peeled banana on the field of play, which mystified both sets of fans. Jose Mourinho admitted that the unusual sight was a result of fatigue, a factor that will likely play an increasingly important role towards the end of the season.

Mourinho said: “Marcos was tired many times.” He knows his body needs rest. It was just a simple request for a banana. I don’t find the banana situation funny at all. We have to respect a player’s physical condition.”

Marcos Rojo Tattoo

It appears that Red speaks English, as evidenced by his leg tattoos which have the words “Pride” and “Glory.”

Marcos Rojo Rabona Clearance

As evidenced by his ‘Rabona’ clearance at the World Cup, he doesn’t have much confidence in his right foot.

According to Mark Lawrenson, if he had messed it up, “he would have looked like an ass”.
