Chapter 566: Low Profile

In order to be able to play in the Milan derby, after signing with Inter, Sneijder, accompanied by his agent Leerby, rushed to the Pinettina training base to participate in Inter's training sessions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Pandev came to Inter Milan, he still had a few acquaintances, but Sneijder was "unrelated" at Inter Milan, and most of the players who arrived at the training base in advance saw Sneijder, but no one greeted him.

"That's Xiao Donggao. ”

Agent Leerby pointed to Gao Xiaodong, who was walking monkeys in a circle with his teammates, and told Sneijder.

At this time, Gao Xiaodong was a little distracted when he received the ball, but the hurried pass was cut off by Stankovic, Gao Xiaodong didn't grab the account, and then was chased by several teammates and caught in the circle.

Sneijder frowned slightly and said, "He has a good relationship with his teammates." ”

Leerby said: "I heard that this Chinese kid is very cunning and behaves well, and it is normal to have a few friends. ”

Snead said: "That's Balotelli, that should be Motta, it's the captain Zanetti who touched his head, the people of the three gangs have a good relationship with him, it seems that we underestimated him." ”

Leerby also said with a worried face: "Actually, we should have come to Inter Milan in the summer, and now you are a little passive. ”

Sneijder and Leerby were talking, Mourinho and the assistant coaches came, he smiled and came over to greet Sneijder and Leerby, "Welcome, you are tired, just rest in the afternoon, don't use it to play." ”

Sneijder shook Mourinho's hand and said: "Coach, I'm not tired, I feel in good shape and can participate in training." ”

Mourinho laughed and said, "Well, I'll show you your teammates first, and then you and Faria will work on your fitness." ”

Snead said, "It's fine." ”

Jose Mourinho and Sneijder arrived at the pitch and called the players who were playing their respective balls to meet Sneijder.

Sneijder's arrival made the already competitive midfield nervous, plus he was not weak, but not well-known, Inter Milan's players were not interested in him, and when they met, except for the captain and good man Zanetti, everyone else just coped with it and reacted coldly.

When he first saw that Gao Xiaodong had a good relationship with his teammates, Sneijder had a bad premonition in his heart, and now the reaction of his teammates confirmed his suspicion that the Inter Milan players did not welcome his arrival.

However, Sneijder did not regard this as a big problem, and he believed that with his ability and identity as a native of Europe, there would be no problem in winning the respect and friendship of his teammates, at least no worse than Gao Xiaodong from China.

Although there will be a derby tomorrow, Inter Milan is currently 8 points ahead of AC Milan, and the Milan derby in the first round has won by a historic score, the players are very relaxed, and in the fast and compact training, the players will also do some improvisation, and the head coach Mourinho believes that a little relaxed mentality is more conducive to the play of the game, so he did not stop them.

Sneijder didn't train with the whole team, he just trained individually with his fitness coach Rui Faria to familiarise himself with tomorrow's tactics and prepare for tomorrow's play.

After the afternoon of training, technical director Marco Blank and transfer market adviser Gabriele Oriali arrived, and Sneijder was officially greeted by manager Jose Mourinho and two club executives.

Sneijder's transfer can be described as a race against time, and his ability to join before the Milan derby kicks off is a race against time. Sneijder began by expressing his feelings at the moment, "First, I would like to thank everyone involved in this transfer. Inter is an amazing club, one of the biggest clubs in the world, so I'm very happy to be a part of Inter. It was a long transfer process, but finally I came. ”

'Inter Milan's midfielders are very good, they have a lot of quality and I'm sure I'll work well with them and now I want to play and I'm going to prove myself here and I'm going to show everybody. ”

When asked by an Italian reporter why Sneijder's transfer had been delayed until now and whether he was reluctant to join Inter Milan, Sneijder explained, "No, I think my life at Real Madrid is perfect. In the last week, though, my mind has changed a lot. You have to think about your future, think about the future. If you're going to sign a 4-year or 5-year contract, you have to be 100% sure. Last week, I was finally 100 per cent convinced that I was going to move to Inter, so the transfer was done. It's important that the coach supports you 100% when you make a decision. I can say that Mourinho supported me 100 per cent and that played a big part in my decision. He's one of the best coaches in the world and I've looked at his results at Chelsea and at Inter and I'm very happy to be part of Inter and to be a player for Jose Mourinho and I'm more eager to prove myself. ”

Speaking about his perception of Serie A and Inter, Sneijder said, "As I said before, Inter is one of the biggest teams in the world, and of course in Italy. Serie A has had some Dutch players before and there have been a lot of big stars. At this moment, we have a great team, so I think I'm going to have a good time here. Before, at Ajax, there was a team manager called David Ente who said to me 'one day you will play for Inter'. Yesterday he called me and said, 'You're finally joining my club.' ’”

At Inter Milan, Sneijder will wear the number 20 shirt, and the Italian reporter will obviously not miss the opportunity to stir up trouble, asking Sneijder if he would prefer to wear the number 10 shirt.

After an afternoon of observation and understanding, Sneijder has a deeper understanding of Gao Xiaodong's status at Inter Milan, and when he first arrives, he certainly won't say anything that might cause Gao Xiaodong to be disgusted.

"Although at Real Madrid I wore the number 10 shirt, at Inter I preferred the number 20 because the last Dutch player to wear the number 10 at Inter was Bergkamp, he didn't do well at Inter, he only proved himself at Arsenal and he was a role model for every young player. He's a fantastic player and I hope I can do as well here as he did when he was in good form. ”

Speaking about his favourite position, Sneijder explained: "I think it's an attacking midfielder, behind the striker, and that's where I am. If you play as a midfielder at the start, it will be perfect. ”

Speaking about tomorrow's Milan derby, Sneijder said: "Derby? yes, of course I want to play in this game. Everybody wants to play big games. I'm going to play? I can't talk about this game yet, so we'll see tomorrow. ”

Sneijder stressed that the 2010 World Cup did not have much of an impact on his transfers: "Actually, I have been thinking about my future. I'm not thinking about the World Cup, I just want to be clear about my future. If I stay at Real Madrid and don't play, that's a different story, but now I'm at Inter and I have to perform well. The World Cup didn't have a big impact on my decision. ”

When asked if he would like to meet Real Madrid in the Champions League knockout round, Sneijder responded very dryly, "It would be great if we could meet Real Madrid, although Real Madrid is full of big stars, but they are strong on the outside and are not the strongest opponents in the Champions League, but we have to pass Chelsea first, Chelsea is one of the strongest teams in the Champions League, Inter Milan and Chelsea can win anyone, but I believe we qualify." ”

Sneijder's low-key performance in the press conference and the praise of his team-mates and coach have boosted the goodwill of Inter Milan fans, although there was controversy about his joining before, and now that the transfer is a given, everyone wants to see how the duo-driven Inter Milan perform in the Milan derby.
