Stefan de Vrij

This Dutch destroyer gives land a complete miss. Cruising on a boat is his favorite activity. He really likes the water.

This Inter defender's life is a truly inspirational story to all aspiring footballers. Born in a tiny village called Ouderkerk aan den IJssel in the South of Holland, his journey to stardom is nothing but spectacular. He began his career as a youth player at VV Spirit before he caught the eyes of Feyenoord. He would go on to spend the rest of his youth as a Feyenoord player before signing his first pro contract with them in 2009. He made 135 appearances for Feyenoord before Serie A came calling. Lazio signed him up in 2014. His Lazio stint lasted for four years during which he began garnering attention from clubs across Italy and even a few in Europe. He played 95 times for the Roman club. Inter Milan signed him on a free transfer from Lazio in 2018 and he has a contract with them that runs until 2023. This solid central defender has also appeared for his country, the Netherlands, since 2012 and even played in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He even made it to the prestigious team of the tournament by Castrol which consisted of the best players to have played in that edition of the World Cup. He is destined to make a lot of appearances for the Dutch team if his performances stay on point. It is only a matter of time before the bigger clubs of Europe come calling for this humble defender from Holland.
