Never Give Up

Just 120 seconds to turn the game. 120 seconds to destroy the opponents.

You need character to continue believing after 85 losing minutes. But if you are Inter Milan you can’t give it up.

The first to believe is Wesley Sneijder, serving a perfect assist to his mate. Then he fights to reach the ball and score the second goal.

This crazy Inter Milan never gives up.

Keep Believing

You are deep into injury time and you are tied. Not a bad result. Your legs are heavy and you've given it everything. Do you settle for what you've got?

Not if you're Wesley Sneijder.

The Dutch star fired in the winning goal deep into injury time to give Inter a vital three points in the dying seconds of their game.

Because that's what champions do.

Sneijder has arrived

Challenges keep a footballer fresh, hungry, determined. And challenges come no bigger than setting out to improve a team who last season conquered the Italian triple.

What better way to start than to help demolish their bitter city rivals 4-0? In his first game.

After an influential performance in an attacking midfield, Sneijder had made his point – new challenge, same winner.

Derby Demolition

The best teams learn from experience and build upon the past. Inter Milan did just that in only the second week of the season, and against their crosstown rivals, with whom they share a stadium. How’s 4-0 for a derby thrashing? If week one had Italian football fans questioning the defending champions, week two provided all the answers.

Inter’s new signings made the difference on Saturday, having a hand in nearly every goal. Wesley Sneijder, only signed by the team on Friday, was a surprise starter and tested the goal early. From their it was engineered destruction. Inter never let up. All that preparation showed from tactics to the intangibles. From building the squad, to preparing them properly, Inter were kings for the day, an unstoppable machine every team in Italy will now be fearing.

Dutch Master

The whistle blows for a free kick just outside the box. You're handed the ball. So what's it going to be? Power or placement?

For Wesley Sneijder, the answer is easy. Don't choose between the two when you can deliver a killer combination of both.

Give Sneijder a set piece and his brain's already whirring. How far out is it? How hard is the ball? What's the angle? The wind speed? What boots is he wearing?

Being one of Europe's dead ball masters isn't easy. But when free kick magic happens this often, you know it's not coincidence anymore. It's next level skill.
