What Rafael van der Vaart doesn’t know about Cristiano Ronaldo

by time news

There are titles that ‌are ⁢a ⁣little more ​surprising than others, even ones you would‍ never expect too see. Such a headline is undoubtedly‌ the one that the newspaper‍ “Bild” dedicated to an article⁣ on the former footballer Rafael van der Vaart: “I have ‍never​ seen Ronaldo’s penis”, ‍we read⁣ – and, sorry, we are ⁤only quoting. One would never have thought that such a statement could become a front⁢ page headline because‌ the⁤ vast majority of the world population, at least the male​ population, would have signed⁤ the​ sentence.

But van der Vaart once played at a club with Cristiano Ronaldo and came close to ‍that. But not close enough: “I always jokingly say that Ronaldo is the only player whose ‌penis I have never seen!”, he ‍told ‍“Bild”. And⁣ why? ⁤Why Ronaldo‍ didn’t ⁤give him the⁢ chance: “He entered‌ the ‌pitch first. And⁤ the last to leave.” And ‌it‍ wasn’t worth van ⁣der Vaart staying ⁢longer in training just⁤ for‍ this. As for Ronaldo, the question arises: ‌was what was widely praised as ⁢the highest ‍level of professionalism actually just a​ secret?

Dieter‍ Hermann, Uschi Glas’ husband, comments on this topic -⁤ no, not about Ronaldo, ​but about secrets – in ‍“Bunte”: “The⁣ only secret I have from ⁢my wife:⁤ that I ​love ⁤her even more than I⁤ always ‍tell her. Very heartfelt, even if not exactly courageous as a public⁣ confession. Surely ⁤for the​ readers of “Bunte” the sentence would have been more ‍emotional: “That I ‍love her⁤ a little less than I​ always tell her”. But‍ we fear ⁣that Uschi Glas also reads⁣ the “Bunte”.

Who wants cute gnomes?

“The Golden leaf” informs us⁣ about the Christmas customs of the kings of this world, including⁤ Margaret of Denmark: “And during the holidays she⁤ always creates sweet ‍paper elves for‍ her family. Can there be ⁣a better gift?” After looking at the photo ‌with ‍the elves,we would say: ‍yes,yes. Certainly.

Joey Kelly ⁤just met his brother Jimmy at Florian Silbereisen’s “100,000 ‌Lights⁣ Advent Festival” and told ⁢the newspaper “Bild”: “As our return with the Kelly ⁤family in 2017, ‍one⁣ of us ⁣has ⁢been in every⁣ show of Florian”. It’s just a pretty‍ big family. However, there are probably⁣ no ⁣plans⁢ to⁤ rename the show ⁤to “100,000 Kellys advent ‍Festival.”

We have “Gala” to thank for a fashion tip: “Mustard is the appetizing alternative ‍to brown.” ⁤We weren’t ⁢even aware⁤ that brown ‌was considered unappetizing,‍ and I have no idea what⁣ associations “Gala” has ⁢with⁤ it. ⁣In⁢ any case, millions ⁤of Germans‍ can now safely munch on their​ bratwursts at the Christmas markets,‌ because‍ an accident with the⁣ mustrich ⁢will make​ their outerwear even more‌ appetizing in case of doubt. ​True trendsetters add a few splashes of mulled wine.

Talk about⁤ appetizing. According ‌to the​ “Neue‌ Blatt”, Jan Josef Liefers saeid⁤ that ‌when he was‍ studying in Berlin he “I think he​ had an addiction”. Namely the garlic: “I took some slices⁤ of dry bread, rubbed them with garlic and arranged them in my room like aroma lamps. Considering the typical Berlin student habitat, ⁢where ⁢one‍ can conjure up a appetizing ‍brunch with noodles instant and ⁢pizza crusts.” ‌liefers‍ will hardly ‌have ⁢noticed.​ It’s also practical: ⁢unlike‌ scented candles, if you ‌get hungry you can always eat one of the loaves.‍ As far ⁤as is⁢ known, ​Liefers in Berlin ​were also⁢ spared from vampire bites.

Pocket money for drinking

A pop singer continues another culinary tradition today: “GG Anderson‌ receives ‌an allowance for alcohol,” says “Bild,” and‍ his‍ wife allows him “three accidents in total ​per month.” Anderson himself says: “Every ten ‌days Monika gives me 500 euros and takes me⁢ to the bar ⁣under her house. From five in‌ the afternoon​ to five⁣ in the morning he drinks “20 beers, a grappa for each and smokes a ⁢chain”. After that “I stay⁣ in bed for⁢ two days and don’t drink alcohol for ten⁣ days”. Compared to how anderson’s room will​ smell‍ after‌ two ⁤days, ⁢Liefer’s Knofibude probably smelled like a Douglas fir. For us, intermittent‍ drinking ​doesn’t​ feel ​like pleasure, but ​rather⁤ real⁤ hard work.

Marc Terenzi seems to be one step ahead.After all sorts ⁢of ⁣excesses, a toxic relationship ​experienced with​ great tabloid attention and retirement, the former boy band singer arrived at⁢ a ‍training camp ​in ‍turkey. “Yoga, ‌running, no⁣ more drinking,” “bild” writes about the ⁣program on Monday this week. On Wednesday we ‍see Terenzi’s back ​decorated with​ a tattoo of ⁣a tree: “He has yet to find his roots”, he describes “exclusively what this motif means to him”,⁢ obviously ‍always in “Bild”. Let’s keep our ⁤fingers

crossed that Terenzi can put an end‍ to this toxic ‌relationship as soon as possible.

How do personal anecdotes from celebrities affect public perception according to dr. Blanchard?

Interview Between Time.news Editor and Celebrity Culture Expert⁤ Dr. Eliza Blanchard

Time.news Editor (TNE): Welcome, Dr. ⁣Blanchard!​ Today,we’re diving into a rather intriguing headline from the German newspaper “Bild” that features former footballer Rafael van der Vaart.‍ He famously stated, “I have never seen Ronaldo’s penis.” What is your first reaction to such ⁤a⁣ surprising headline?

dr. Eliza Blanchard (EB): Thank you for having me! My reaction is a mix⁤ of amusement and disbelief.⁤ It’s not ⁤every day that a sports figure’s personal anecdotes become front-page news, ‌especially​ something so… candid. It’s interesting how the boundaries of celebrity culture ‍have⁣ shifted, allowing for such private comments to ​permeate public discourse.

TNE: Absolutely! What ⁢do you think drove​ van der Vaart to share such a statement? Is there a cultural context behind ‍it?

EB: Van der Vaart’s quip is likely intended in a light-hearted and humorous manner. In the sports world, especially among footballers, there exists a ​camaraderie that often leads to banter. However, it ⁢also sheds light on the ​extreme professionalism of players like Ronaldo, who are almost ⁣mythical in their discipline. He enters and leaves the pitch⁢ with such intensity that it leaves little⁢ room for the casual ‍interactions that ⁣might normally occur in team environments.

TNE: That’s an interesting observation about ⁣professionalism. ‌do you think Ronaldo’s behavior, while of high professional standard, serves to isolate him in some ways?

EB: It ​certainly can. While professionalism is vital in high-stakes sports, it ⁤can create a barrier between athletes. When players are so focused on maintaining their image and ⁤performance, they may miss out⁣ on building personal⁤ connections. Van der Vaart’s comment humorously highlights this tension; while they ⁤where teammates, their interactions were limited⁣ by Ronaldo’s own​ level‍ of discipline.

TNE: Speaking of secrets, the article also touched ⁤on Dieter Hermann’s comments regarding love and familial relationships. How do you see this‍ connect with the themes of revelation and privacy in celebrity culture?

EB: Hermann’s remark is a perfect ‌counterpoint to van der Vaart’s revelation. while one speaks to the playful side of probing into personal lives, Hermann’s admission is much deeper‌ and speaks⁤ of vulnerability. ‍It ​suggests that ​even in the realm of public figures, there exists a level of intimacy that rarely makes headlines.‌ This duality— where some choose to reveal extensively while others hold their feelings close—reflects ⁤a broader trend in celebrity culture,where authenticity is both sought after and together ​guarded.

TNE: Intriguing! Moving on to lighter ⁤subjects, the article mentions holiday customs, specifically about Margaret of Denmark creating sweet paper elves. How do you view the blend of personal traditions and celebrity culture in this narrative?

EB: The inclusion of such personal traditions ⁤allows the public to connect with celebrities through ⁣relatable, everyday activities. Creating paper⁤ elves for Christmas is charming and trivializes the often grandiose lives of public‌ figures. It humanizes them and reminds us that beneath ⁢the fame, they ‍participate in the same cultural practices and rituals that many of us do.

TNE: Indeed! It‌ truly seems that both humorous and ‍heartfelt revelations play significant roles in how we perceive our ‍public figures. As we conclude, what do ⁣you think the future holds for celebrity culture in the context of privacy and public persona?

EB: As society becomes more digital and interconnected, the​ lines between public and private life will continue to blur. We’ll likely ‍see more instances where public figures share personal anecdotes—both profound and mundane—shaping‍ our⁣ understanding of ⁤them. However,‌ it’s essential for ‌celebrities to maintain some degree of privacy to keep their identities intact and avoid becoming caricatures of themselves.

TNE: ​ Wise words, Dr.‍ Blanchard. Thank you for sharing your⁣ insights with us today!

EB: ​ Thank you‍ for having me!‍ Always a pleasure to discuss​ the dynamics of celebrity culture.
