Inter will win the scudetto and Roma will be the anti-Nerazzurri. Wesley Sneijder is convinced of this, and in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport he spoke about the Italian championship and Cristian Chivu, revealing a behind-the-scenes story about the historic Triplete chat.
The former Dutch playmaker recounted how the 2010 champions interact with Chivu. When he wins, especially against Juventus, the messages in the chat multiply: they tell him he is handsome, especially if the victory comes precisely against the Bianconeri. When he loses, instead, total silence. The most active member of the group remains Marco Materazzi.
Sneijder also revealed that he expected him to become this good. The two shared a room during their time at Inter and the Romanian defender was already thinking not only about his own role, but about the whole team, showing a broader tactical vision.
Among his fondest memories, the Dutchman mentioned the derby won 4-0 against Milan the day after his arrival and the Champions League final against Bayern Munich, the crowning achievement of an unrepeatable season.
