The lack of fans in the stadium certainly makes it a lot easier to hear the 34-year-old.

When the clip done the rounds on social media, Sneijder quickly tweeted an apology from his official account.

SNEIJDER RESPONDS

Sneijder wrote: "While playing a football match I reacted in the heat of the moment to a red card I did not deserve. However, to counter any false media speculations: I enjoy living and playing football in Qatar!"

Well, at least he's apologised.

Sneijder is just one of many European stars have who have decided to make the move to Qatar to see out the end of their careers.

Former Barcelona stars Xavi Hernandez and Samuel Eto'o are both there, with the former really excelling with Al Sadd.
