🗣️ Wesley Sneijder: “The worst moment of my career was when I left Real Madrid. I felt humiliated because when I went to the training ground I saw that my locker had been emptied and my things had been put away.
I went to talk to the president. He didn't give me much time and just told me that I was no longer in their plans and that they wanted to win the Champions League.
Before I left his office, I told him: 'Just know that no matter where I go, I'm going to play to win.'
Two days later Mourinho called me. I think he got my number through Chivu because I had never met him before.
He said to me: 'Wesley, I know your situation there is difficult. Come to Inter, together we will win everything.'
Mourinho and I had a connection at first sight. He told me that I was one of the most important players in his team and that together we would win the Champions League. Maybe he said this to everyone, but believe me, a year with him was worth ten years with someone else.
“So how did it end? You know… I won the Champions League at the Bernabéu. I put the trophy in front of my cupboard and said: ‘I keep my promises.’ It was the best moment of my career.”
