Wesley Sneijder

Inter Milan and Holland star Wesley Sneijder has spoken about his excitement about playing in the Dublin Super Cup this summer. The new pre-season tournament that will see Snejider and his Inter Milan team mates compete against Manchester City, Celtic and a team made of the best players from the Airtricity League.

Speaking ahead of the Dublin Super Cup, the Inter Milan stated that his team were determined to win the tournament, "I think to have an opportunity to play against the big teams that are going to be there is always nice and of course a tournament is always nice to win. It's always nice to win prizes like we did last year, even if it is just a tournament. We still want to win it of course. Of course I know the fans in Ireland love their football. I am looking forward to playing there because the country is so passionate about football," he said.

Sneijder insisted that playing big teams ahead of the start of the season plays a big part in their preparation for the season ahead, "It is always important to start directly against big teams which is better for everybody, to improve yourself. It will be hard. It will be hot in Dublin this time, during the tournament and I suppose it will not rain, but it will be great to play against big teams especially in pre-season."
