Maxwell: “It

Inter Milan

MARRAKECH – Inter v Paris Saint-Germain is undoubtedly somewhat of a prestige friendly, one that promises to pose a stern test for Mancini’s men. Set to take place on 30 December at Marrakech’s Grande Stade, the match will provide the perfect opportunity to round off 2014 in style and look forward to a promising 2015.

“We’re all very pleased. PSG playing in Marrakech is a great opportunity for everyone. There’s a buzz of enthusiasm around and the stadiums in Morocco are really modern,” explained Maxwell, current PSG fullback and former Inter man.

“Our club has grown quickly and we need to engage with new fans the world over. We want to put on a good show and use the match to prepare well for our upcoming challenges,” continued the Brazilian.

The 33-year-old defender amassed 105 appearances during his time at Inter, plundering no less than five trophies in the process (three Scudetti and two Italian Super Cups). Tomorrow’s match will be the second time that Maxwell will have come up against his former club: “I’m delighted to be able to play against my old club, as I already did with Barcelona and Ajax.

“It’ll be really special against Inter because I’ll be able to see lots of old friends who work for the club and who helped me a great deal when I arrived in Milan. Of course, I’m aware that lots of the players have changed, but within the club there are still a lot of people I know well. I look forward to seeing them all!” concluded Maxwell.

Inter Milan

DAMMAM – Just two short months since the project was presented to local authorities in late October, activity is well underway at Inter Academy Saudi Arabia. “Our partners Aldowaly Sport Company are providing us with a cutting-edge sports complex where we can run activities under the supervision of our two instructors, Valerio Candido and Andrea Ratti,” explained technical director Marco Monti.

“For the moment, we’re working with three age groups (6-9 years, 10-12 years, 13-14 years) with the support of a team of local instructors overseen by managing director Khaled S.Al-Hawar.

“Ours is a very worthwhile project, something confirmed by the enthusiasm being shown by the children involved. This is testimony both to the technical quality of our service but also to the educational and social value of sporting activity,” continued Monti.

The Inter staff are currently back in Italy enjoying a well-earned Christmas break. Activity will resume on 11 January, with a visit from Monti and technical coordinator Aldo Montinaro mooted for some time in the New Year.
