¿Sylvie, you like Spain?
I am very happy in Spain. First I came to Madrid and we were Furthermore, Rafa's family lives in Chiclana, and are very happy because he finally has come to live here. It's great.
What do you think you compare with David and Victoria Beckham?
I do not care that we compare with them. I do not look at anything in Victoria. Neither the 'look', nor in the way of being, and I like garlic. And Rafa is a soccer player David Beckham to very different. I think we compare because I too have made a career within the world of doing many things, such as presentation at Real Madrid, which was like a dream, and then we were living in a hotel while looking for a house. That was difficult, because Rafa speak the language and I did not. But people were very loving and kind to us. We have already found a house and I have to say that the quality of life in Spain is very high, not only because the climate is better than in Germany or Holland, but also by the pace of life, food, and because people are real. spectacle and the two are married to footballers. At first you may have seen us as the new Beckham, but we are Van der Vaart and we are completely different.
Will you be going and coming, or you staying in Spain forever?
Now I am still working in Germany on a television in the RTL and that's why I'm traveling a lot and between Madrid, Munich, Hamburg, Berlin, you will have to organize because I have a small child, I am mother and of course, I want to take care of him. In addition, in November we will start doing some TV programs live and we are also moving to our new home. We have found a home in La Moraleja and I'm very happy because it is a very nice place to live. The start decorating in a couple of weeks and may be ready in early November. Since I arrived I was a lot of time looking for a house because he wanted to have a home for the whole family. It really is Spanish. We wanted to go to a college Spanish, because it is a language that is spoken throughout the world, not just English is important.
How vivisteis Rafa by the signing of Real Madrid?
We hear during the holidays that Real Madrid was interested in him. We are very happy, but you never know what will happen and there was nothing safe. One night we called on the two o'clock and told that he had signed for the club and away difficult to find and furnish the house with my work in Germany but I try.
How does your child change?
Now the school has begun and has a very nice teacher who is called Natalia. Gets up every morning when I said (in Spanish): 'Mommy, college! ". And when you come home in the evening said: 'Hi, how are you? Well? '. I'm very proud of him because he was trying to learn a lot in his father's words and also speaks a lot in we opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate, and we spent the whole night without sleep. The next day, we were on a plane journey from Madrid. It was a dream come true.
How do you take with women of other players?
The women and girlfriends of the other players are very nice, I 'received' very well and gave me their phone numbers in case you needed something. I have to say that they are very kind. In addition to sometimes go out to dinner after the parties, especially when they win, and we welcome all together. It's like a big group and is a bit difficult to be in it without speaking the language, but what I will soon, the majority of the girls know English.
Would you like to give him a little brother Damian?
I would like very much, but at this moment not because we enjoy it and it still has to habituate to Spain, has to learn the language ... But in a couple of years we want to have a child Spanish.
How would you like Rafa that his son would be devoted to football?
Of course, would love Rafa. In addition, we played football in the hotel room.
