In order to be able to make a debut in the Milan derby and sign with Inter Milan, Sneider rushed to the Pinetina training base without stopping to participate in Inter Milan training classes.

Pandev had a few acquaintances when he came to Inter Milan, but Sneider was "unfamiliar" in Inter Milan. Most of the players who arrived at the training base in advance saw Sneider, but no one greeted him.

"That's Xiao Donggao."

Agent Learby pointed to Gao Xiaodong, who was walking the monkey with his teammates, and told Sneijder.

Just at this time, Gao Xiaodong was a little distracted when receiving the ball. He passed the ball in a hurry but was cut off by Stankovic. Gao Xiaodong refused to rob the money, and was chased by several teammates and caught in the circle.

Sneider frowned slightly and said, "He has a very harmonious relationship with his teammates."

Learby said: "I heard that this Chinese child is very cunning and performs well, and it is normal to have a few friends."

Sneider said: "That's Balotelli, that's probably Mota. The captain Sanetti touched his head. The people from the three gangs have a good relationship with him. It seems that we underestimated him."

Learby also said with a worrying look: "Actually we should come to Inter Milan in the summer, and now you are a little passive."

Sneider and Learby were talking, and Mourinho and the assistant coaches came. He smiled and greeted Sneider and Learby, "Welcome, you are tired of traveling, just take a break in the afternoon and don't need to participate in the competition."

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

Mourinho laughed and said, "Let's do this, I'll take you to meet your teammates first, and then you practice your physical fitness with Faria."

Sneider said: "Okay."

Mourinho and Sneider came to the court and called the players who were playing the ball from each other to meet Sneider.

Sneider's arrival made the midfield, which was already fiercely competitive, and he became nervous. In addition, he was not weak but not famous. Inter Milan players were not interested in him. When they met, except for the good captain Zanetti, everyone else just dealt with it and reacted coldly.

When Sneijder first saw Gao Xiaodong having a harmonious relationship with his teammates, Sneijder had a bad premonition. Now his teammate's reaction really confirmed his speculation that Inter Milan players did not welcome him.

However, Sneider did not regard this as a big problem. He believed that with his ability and his identity as a European indigenous, he would definitely have no problem winning the respect and friendship of his teammates, at least he would not be worse than Gao Xiaodong from China.

Although there will be a derby battle tomorrow, Inter Milan is currently leading AC Milan by 8 points. The Milan derby in the first round has another great victory in the score. The players are very relaxed. In the fast and compact training, the players will also do some improvisation performances. Head coach Mourinho believes that a slightly relaxed mentality is more beneficial to the performance of the game, so he did not stop them.

Sneider did not practice with the whole team. He just followed physical coach Rui Faria to train alone, familiarize himself with tomorrow's tactics, and prepare for tomorrow's play.

After the afternoon training, technical director Marco Blanc and transfer market consultant Gabrielle Oriali came. Sneijder officially met with the media and fans, accompanied by coach Mourinho and two club executives.

Sneider's transfer can be said to be ups and downs. He can join before the Milan derby starts, which is also a race against time. Sneider first expressed his mood at this moment, "First, I want to thank all those who participated in this transfer. Inter Milan is an amazing club and one of the largest clubs in the world, so I am very happy to be a member of Inter Milan. The transfer process is indeed long, but I finally came."

"Inter Milan's midfield and frontcourt players are excellent. They have extremely strong strength. I believe I will cooperate with them. Now I want to play. I want to prove my strength here and I want to prove it to everyone."

When an Italian reporter asked Sneijder why the transfer was delayed until now and whether he was unwilling to join Inter Milan, Sneijder explained, "Not that, I think my life at Real Madrid is perfect. But last week my thoughts changed a lot. You have to consider your future and think about the future. If you want to sign a four-year or five-year contract, you have to be 100% sure. Last week, I was finally 100% sure to transfer to Inter Milan, so the transfer was completed. When you make a decision, the coach supports you 100% and it is very important. I can say that Mourinho supports me 100% and this plays an important role in my decision. He is one of the best coaches in the world. I have noticed his coaching performance at Chelsea and at Inter Milan. I am very happy to be a member of Inter Milan, become a Mourinho player, and I am more eager to prove myself."

Speaking of the understanding of Serie A and Inter Milan, Sneider talked freely, "As I said before, Inter Milan is one of the largest teams in the world, and of course the same in Italy. Serie A has had some Dutch players and has produced many big stars. At this moment, we have a great team, so I think I will have a good time here. In Ajax, there was a team leader named David Ent, who once said to me, 'One one day you will play for Inter Milan'. Yesterday, he called me and said 'You have finally joined my club.'"

In Inter Milan, Sneider will wear the No. 20 jersey. Italian journalists obviously will not miss the opportunity to raise trouble and asked Sneider if he wants to wear the No. 10 jersey more.

After an afternoon of observation and understanding, Sneider had a deeper understanding of Gao Xiaodong's status in Inter Milan. When he was just a newcomer, he certainly would not say anything that might cause Gao Xiaodong to be disgusted.

"Although I wear a No. 10 jersey at Real Madrid, I prefer No. 20 in Inter Milan because the last Dutch player with No. 10 was Borgkamp. He did not perform well in Inter Milan. He proved himself at Arsenal. He is a role model for every young player. He is an amazing player. I hope I can perform well here when he is in good shape."

Speaking of his favorite position, Sneider explained, "I think it's an attacking midfielder, that's behind the striker, and that's where I'm. If I play the front midfielder at the beginning, it would be perfect."

Speaking of tomorrow's Milan derby, Sneider said, "Derby? Yes, of course I want to participate in this game. Everyone wants to play an important game. Will I play? I can't talk about this game yet. Let's take a look tomorrow."

Sneijder stressed that the 2010 World Cup did not have much impact on his transfer. "In fact, I have been thinking about my future. I have not considered the World Cup, I just want to clarify my future. If I stayed at Real Madrid and couldn't play, that's another matter, but now I'm here to Inter Milan and I have to perform well. The World Cup has not had a big impact on my decision."

When asked whether he wanted to meet Real Madrid in the Champions League knockout stage, Sneijder responded simply, "It would be great if he could meet Real Madrid. Although Real Madrid has many big-name stars, they are strong outside and play at the middle, and are not the strongest opponents in the Champions League. However, we must first pass the Chelsea level. Chelsea is one of the strongest teams in the Champions League. Inter Milan and Chelsea may win, but I believe we will advance."

Sneijder's performance at the press conference was very low-key, and his praise for his teammates and coaches made Inter Milan fans' favorable impression of him a lot. Although fans had controversial about his joining before, the transfer has become a certain fact. Everyone wants to see how the dual-core-driven Inter Milan performed in the Milan derby...
