Wesley Sneijder

[Executioner93]

idk anything about this but according to 24 ore di sport Sneijder Materazzi and Quaresma are not coming for the derby they are not picked.

Can't be true because they just asked him in the press conference if he'll play tomorrow he said that he would love to and it's up to Mourinho....So if he wasn't chosen they wouldn't have asked the question...anyways Mourinho's press conference is now

INTER FINALLY HAS A FREE KICK SPECIALIST AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS INCREDIBLE, TEAMS WILL NOT LONGER FOUL US TO STOP PLAY KNOWING WE WONT SCORE, THIS along with a creative spark have been a huge buggaboo for inter. Im glad he's here!!!

There are no call ups, and they are usually told before press conference, so maybe Jose didn't do it this time(he doesn't have to after all, it's not champions league).

As for him not playing, like I've said in match thread, Branca said something about transfer papers not arriving yet at Inter, so maybe that is the reason. He also said at the same time, that he hopes they will arrive this evening.

Yes i know but the question was not longer than 25 minutes ago, I don't understand why they'd ask the question and he'd answer it the way he did (without any input from Jose) if they knew he was out of the squad list.

Edit: Mourinho just said that Muntari and Quaresma aren't on the squad list for the derby

 

[Luka]

The way they juggle with 4/5 years(Wes saying it is 5 year decision etc.), it seems, he indeed signed 4 year deal, with an option for 5th year, as was reported somewhere.

Press conference

Sneijder: "Finally I am here"
Friday, 28 August 2009 14:58:32

APPIANO GENTILE - Accompanied by José Mourinho, technical director Marco Branca and transfer market consultant Gabriele Oriali, Inter's latest signing Wesley Sneijder was unveiled to the Italian media in today's press conference at the training ground.

This is what the 25-year-old Dutch midfielder, who underwent his first training session with fitness coach Rui Faria this morning before making his way to the press room, had to say:

We know that the operation for your signing has been quite a contest. Are you happy to join Inter?
"Well first of all thank you. I think Inter is an amazing club, one of the biggest clubs in the world, so I'm very happy to be a player of Inter. It has been long, but finally I am here."

How much do you like pressure. You're not here to be an ordinary player.
"Well, to talk about pressure... I've been a player of Real Madrid and there was pressure there too. I can handle the pressure. I want to play games now and prove myself to all the people here."

What is your opinion of Mourinho?
"Of course he's one of the biggest coaches in the world. I saw him in Chelsea and here at Inter as well, I'm very happy to be a player of Inter and a player of Mourinho and I want to prove myself even more."

Your shirt is the number 10. What is your favourite role?
"I think I'm an attacking midfielder, so playing behind the strikers, yes, it's my position. The shirt number? If I start playing in this position it will be perfect."

The last Dutch number 10 at Inter was Bergkamp. Did you talk to him? Did you know that his adventure here was full of ups and downs? Are you ready for the derby?
"Actually I didn't speak to Dennis Bergkamp before but I think he's an example for every young player. He's an amazing player with lots of qualities. I hope I can do the same as what he did here during the good times. My shirt number isn't important. I just want to help the team. The derby? Yes, I would obviously like to play the derby. Everyone wants to play the big games. Will I play? I can't say anything about this game. We will see tomorrow."

Could you please explain to us why the negotiations were a bit slow?
"Yes, I know but I think that life at Real Madrid was perfect. My situation changed a lot in the last week. You have to talk about your future, think about your future. If you sign a four or five-year deal you have to be one hundred percent sure. Last week I was one hundred percent sure and the deal went through."

What do you know about the Italian championship and Inter?
"Like I said before, Inter is one of the biggest teams in the world and for sure in Italy. There were some Dutch players before in this club and some big players before. We have a great team in this moment so I think I will have a great time here. I had one guy in Ajax before, the team manager, his name was David Endt and he said 'one day you will play for Inter'. Yesterday he called me and said 'finally you have joined my club'."

When you arrived you said you had already spoken to Mourinho. What did he say to convince you to join Inter?
"It's important when you make decisions that the coach is 100% behind you and I can say that Mourinho is 100% behind me so this was a very big part of my decision."

Did you choose the number 10 shirt or did Mourinho give it to you?
"It was given to me. I don't know if it was the coach, but I suppose so."

How much did the 2010 World Cup influence your decision to join Inter? Were you given any advice or pressure from the Dutch national team coach?
"Actually I was thinking about my future and to sign a new contract for a new team for a long long time, not just for one tournament. I wasn't thinking about the World Cup, I wanted to be sure about my future. If I stayed at Real Madrid and didn't play that would have been another thing, but now I'm at Inter and I have to play my game. The World Cup wasn't the biggest point that influenced my decision."

Would you have preferred Real Madrid to Barcelona in the first Champions League game?
"No. I don't mind. It's nice to play against a Spanish team and to play against Barcelona will be amazing. I'm happy to play against Barcelona."

Number #10 is Officially Wesley Sneijder's...

Finally we found a perfect number 10 in our team after Ibra's leaving, and I just hope he will do great job and will support us to win a lot of trophies

Forza Sneijder :star: !!!!

 

[crzdcolombian]

Finally this soap opera is over hope it ends at the end of hte season better than the Queresma one did

 

[Principe]

There was a funny question, where the translator said Who's Jose Mourinho, and he answered, Jose is the man that's sitting over there to my right.

 

[Michael]

Welcome our long waited playmaker. Now make us proud.

 

[jamsieboy86]

I hope Sneijder can do the business for us, our team is practically complete, very optimistic for the new season ahead now.

 

[kova9]

Welcome Wes! I'm very excited, we finally have a no. 10.. I'm sure I'm gonna enjoy your free kicks!

Good luck!

 

[edi-inter]

Welcome WESLEY SNEIJDER

 

[K.I.]

Holy crap that shirt looks great...

 

[Interista Gallese]

Benvenuto Sneijder ma spero che tu sarai un bellissimo giocatore per l'Inter!

I don't think he should start tomorrow though he should be on the bench maybe.

 

[The_Emperor]

Any video of the presentation?

Oh and of course Welcome Sneijder.

INTER FINALLY HAS A FREE KICK SPECIALIST AGAIN THIS IS INCREDIBLE, TEAMS WILL NOT LONGER FOUL US TO STOP PLAY KNOWING WE WONT SCORE

First of all i wish shneijder all the best and let's hope he will be the famous number 10 we were looking for (as for this i'm sad that he underestimates so much the fact that he has been given this number by mou).
As for the free kick stuff , honestly first of all i wish that he could be the one to give the important through balls that our strikers need so much because we already have a specialist in free kicks in mario but ibra's egoism last year didn't give him the possibility to prove himself but the main problem in my opinion is to get this free kicks because in the last 2 matches i don't remember any of them given to us except the one shooted by eto in the supercopa.

 

[vitomins]

Balotelli had one against Bari...he is very good at free kicks, but Sneijder is a specialist! Hopefully he will prove this to you!
