As a 17-year-old Martin Bengtsson joined Inter, the 26-year-old now describes his time at the club as being in prison. Ahead of the derby on Sunday the Swede got interviewed by BBC and revealed some shocking details.
“Inter’s academy was like a prison, it was like going into a big cloud where I could not get out. It was very sad. I heard voices and I started to lose the feeling of whether it was night or day. I needed to escape and the razors became my way out. I cut as hard as I could, I needed to get out.”
Bengtsson also revealed how his time at Inter became unbearable after some youth players were caught smoking marijuana.
“They had a problem at the training camp and we got punished because (some players) had smoked marijuana on a balcony and we got a punishment, all the players, even those who hadn’t had anything to do with it.”
“For a couple months we almost lost our freedom to go out of our house in Milan and to buy groceries. I got very depressed by the feeling of being in a prison and being locked in.”
In 2007 Martin published his autobiography, In the shadow of San Siro, where he wrote about his time at Inter. He now lives in Berlin and makes music under the stage name Waldemaar.

Vad vet ni? Bara för att ni hejar på Inter behöver ni inte försvara allt som förknippas med det?
Om man tar sig så långt att man blir utlandsproffs är man nog “gjord för att spela fotboll”. Mental avlastning/idrottspsykologi mm är ju något som dyker upp mer och mer även i fotbollen.
Och sedan när blev kollektiv bestraffning något försvarbart och något som hör till “tuff mentalitet”?
Har sett föreläsning med honom och måste säga killen var inte gjord för att spela fotboll. Tuff mentalitet ingen jäkla pingis förening han kommer till! dock synd att han mådde dåligt osv.. men krydda på krydda brukar bli en stor gryta dvs “för mycket skitsnack”
Haha vilken skojjare han va skit
