On the last day of the summer transfer window, Davy Klaassen (31) traded are Ajax for Inter Milan. While a disastrous season subsequently took place in Amsterdam, the midfielder experienced a special championship year in Italy as a substitute. The 41-time international about the historic success in Milan.
Eand soaking wet Tuesday in Milan. The blue-black part of the city wakes up in a euphoric state. Finally the time had come last night, Internazionale’s twentieth national title. The players proudly showed the Scudetto with the number 20 to their own supporters after an intense city derby. The victory over arch-rival AC Milan meant the coveted national championship for Internazionale.
An open bus ride through the city was planned for this Wednesday, a day after the historic success. But due to heavy and prolonged rain in Milan, the triumphal procession has been moved to Sunday. It does not detract from the festive spirit in the Inter part of the city. “People really feel this championship as a liberation, a very special experience,” Davy Klaassen describes the prevailing sentiment in Northern Italy. ‘It had to happen this season, you noticed that for a long time. The fact that it has now succeeded really creates a madhouse.’
The second star makes a lot of noise?
‘Yes, it really feels like a milestone for the Italians. It is comparable to Ajax’s third star. That was also such a historic moment. And then there were some other factors involved, such as the fact that the Derby della Madonna was also the championship game. That had never happened before. Moreover, in recent weeks, the thoughts of the supporters have regularly gone back to two years ago. At the time, Inter was also in pole position just before the end of the competition, but the lead position was still lost. So the emotions were logically deep and the discharge came out completely after the final whistle.’
‘I have a better feeling about the people who are now at Ajax. I think the coming transfer summer is crucial’
