Instead, a lack of playing time pushed him to the precipice.<\/p>\n<p>The 46-capped Netherlands international started just 17 Ligue 1 games in his maiden season at the club, followed by 24 in 2013\/14, 22 in 2014\/15 and eventually just 16 in 2015\/16. He subsequently left for Fenerbahce and ended his playing career at Toronto FC, after a brief stint at Cagliari.<\/p>\n\n<p>Van der Wiel departed PSG at the age of 28, which should have been the prime years of his career. He would go on to play just 57 more professional games before bowing out in 2020, <span>having been a free agent for a year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He has now revealed he became disillusioned with the sport following his time in Paris, <\/span>telling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bwy9zcqtiQY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>Kick\u2019t Net<\/strong><\/em><\/a>: &#8220;You land in France, with different players, different coaches, different tactics. I arrived in a team full of stars, guys that you often play with on Playstation. I arrived as a young guy, with my eyes wide open, shaking their hands. It was crazy, really incredible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I received an offer to extend my contract by three years, that&#8217;s true, but I decided not to extend it. I wasn&#8217;t very happy there. I wasn&#8217;t always playing. I didn&#8217;t have the security of playing regularly.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"No Jorginho?! - Picking the 2020\/21 FIFPro World XI | Squawka Talker\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/16qvQfC6NG0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There were also some incidents in my last season [2015-16] that annoyed me. Serge Aurier&#8217;s live Periscope video, for example, where he spoke about the coach [Laurent Blanc] and about me in particular, two or three days before an important Champions League match against Chelsea. He was punished for that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone sent me messages of &#8216;Get ready, you&#8217;re the one who will be playing&#8217;. Of course, it was an opportunity for me. In the end, I didn&#8217;t even play. They put Marquinhos in my position even though he is a central defender.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were difficult moments to experience, where you feel bad, and you say &#8216;Guys, do you think I&#8217;m that bad that I am second choice at right-back with a central defender in my position?&#8217; It made me not want to stay there. To be honest, at that time I was sick of football.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>READ MORE: Premier League previews \u2013 odd, tips and predictions<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/watford-vs-liverpool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watford vs Liverpool<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/leicester-vs-man-utd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leicester vs Man United<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/manchester-city-vs-burnley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Man City vs Burnley<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/william-hill?q=uk-all-all-bst-s-sqb-newvspu\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1229017\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet-815x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"815\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet-815x1024.jpg 815w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet-239x300.jpg 239w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet-768x965.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet-110x138.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet-56x70.jpg 56w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet-52x65.jpg 52w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet-80x101.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet-180x226.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet-191x240.jpg 191w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet-478x600.jpg 478w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet-240x302.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet-795x999.jpg 795w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet-85x107.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet-16x20.jpg 16w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet-330x415.jpg 330w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/10\/15114835\/1228999_1228999_Screenshot_20211014-174450_Samsung-Internet.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 815px) 100vw, 815px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How William Hill&#8217;s Newcastle vs Tottenham betting Offer works:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Eligible readers* <a href=\"http:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/william-hill\/che-mancity-both2score\/SQBTips\"><strong>need to sign up on a mobile device<\/strong><\/a>, making sure t0 use EPB30 in the Promo Code section.<\/li>\n<li>Once registered, click the link to add both teams to score @ 30\/1 to your bet slip and place a \u00a31 bet.<\/li>\n<li>If the bet wins: A) Your \u00a31 bet will be settled as void and B) your account will be credited with 3 x \u00a310 free bets (total value of \u00a330), paid within 48 hours of the event ending.<\/li>\n<li>Illustrated instructions showing how to redeem your free bet <a href=\"https:\/\/williamhill-lang.custhelp.com\/app\/answers\/detail\/a_id\/5652\/kw\/redeem%20your%20free%20bet?_gl=1*nonpaf*_ga*NjkzMjkyMTYuMTYzMTI2OTYxNQ..*_ga_H808RLB5WC*MTYzNDMxNDM5Ny45LjAuMTYzNDMxNDM5Ny42MA..\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><em>*18+.
