  FIFA.com - Sneijder maturing nicely
Wesley Sneijder picked a memorable moment to prove he could be the natural leader on the pitch for the Dutch at UEFA EURO 2008.
Sneijder showed everyone that night in Berne something the confident Dutch player already knew, namely he was "no longer just the midfielder with the nice free kick".
Sneijder left Ajax Amsterdam for Real Madrid at the start of last season and during his first year in the Spanish top flight became a more complete player capable of driving his team to victory instead of only thinking about his own game.

 Milan in Sneijder talks - Soccervision
Sneijder, despite his young age, has become a mainstay in both the Ajax and the Holland national team, where he has been preferred to Clarence Seedorf by national Coach Marco Van Basten.
I rekcon Sneijder would get the best out of a move to Milan because much as he is still a prolific player in Holland, he can raise the stakes in Italy by working alongside bigger players in the game.
Sneijder can play as a striker, which means he can be used as backup in case the first choice strikers pick up an injury.

 Sneijder signs as Real go double Dutch - CNN.com
While Robben is a more direct attacking player, Sneijder prefers to operate in a playmaking role, prompting others with his passing and scoring most of his goals by ghosting into the penalty area in the style of Michael Ballack or Steven Gerrard -- a skill he has perfected to deadly effect at Ajax.
For now Sneijder's priority will be simply to play his way into a side already loaded with midfield talent at a club where even a $36 million price tag hardly means a guaranteed first team place.
With Schuster set to give Sneijder his competitive debut in Sunday's Spanish Super Cup second leg against Sevilla at the Bernabeu, the Dutchman does not have long to wait for his first chance to impress.
