Currently, Estavana Polman is making waves in the media as she promotes her biography. The topic was discussed recently on Shownieuws, where Brooks voiced her astonishment over the cover photo, claiming it does not reflect the image of Polman, who is known as the girlfriend of footballer Rafael van der Vaart.
Just Estavana
What are the thoughts of show expert Eline de Ruig on the book? She remarked, “It really is just like the title suggests: Just Estavana. It tells a very ordinary life story. Sure, she has a unique career, but you could easily see her as a friend from the ‘neighborhood’. I find it refreshing that her down-to-earth nature shines through.”
“There are also intense stories, like when she was pregnant and needed to play matches while sharing this exciting news with her teammates, only for RTL Boulevard to break the news in a major way. That kind of thing is quite captivating,” she added.
Down to Earth
Brooks remains critical, stating, “What I find unfortunate is that she seems so light-hearted, so ordinary, so down to earth, and yet I find the cover quite heavy.”
To this, BN’er expert Bart Ettekoven responded with surprise, questioning, “Why is that?” Eline interjected that she finds the cover quite beautiful.
Bart expressed disagreement, declaring, “Isn’t it a lovely photo?”
Icy
Brooks stood her ground, stating, “When I think of Estavana, I think of no-nonsense and straightforwardness. This photo feels icy and stately.”
Gordon’s close friend, Thom Goderie, added, “But she’s not smiling!”
Eline countered, saying, “I think it looks very natural.”
In conclusion, Brooks remarked, “It feels almost royal, while she describes eating a frikandel before a match. Seeing this, I think, ‘What a respectable lady!’ but it doesn’t entirely capture who she is.”
