Lukas Podolski’s adventure in Inter starts with a hitch, as an old interview reveals him praising Juventus at Inter’s expense. The striker flew in on Friday and underwent his medical Saturday before visiting the Appiano Gentile training ground. He is due to complete the loan transfer from Arsenal with option to buy at the end of the season.
However, the German international is being bitten by past comments he made to La Gazzetta dello Sport in 2007, soon after the Calciopoli scandal that saw Juventus demoted. “In Italy I support Juve. As a kid I was so enthusiastic about Zidane and Del Piero,” said Podolski at the time.
“Now they are in Serie B – and that’s why Inter are winning the Scudetto. I’m a real fan of Italian football and love Juve. Ah well, Inter deserve it…”
The comments are particularly ill-timed considering Podolski could well make his Inter debut against Juventus on Tuesday night.

The title of this article is annoying, Better to change or correct it though, A “PAST” word can makes it looks better
So..? I loved watching Zizou play too. Who in their right mind didn’t?
Well, pirlo is an inter fan too
Remember
Leonardo Bonucci is inter fan till inter don’t need him so he is gone to cheaters
Oh no! That means he will be a jube spy!! He will steal our players shoes, so they can’t play!!! HELP US GUARIN! SHOOT HIM OUT OF THE PITCH!!
At least he stands up for Inter when Mattheus called us mediocre and I know this guy has balls and a fighting spirit. JJ5 has a new warrior in the team!
I read this somewhere else and I was mad but didn’t expect ot read it in Inter site. 😀
He can’t be blamed for a thing he said SEVEN years ago. Plus he was a fan of Del Piero and Zidane which everyone are. Newspapers just wanna stir things up -.-
He was young and blind and now he has become a man. That why he is at inter
best. answer. ever
And? Every player has the right to have a favorite team just like every player. He is getting paid for his services, so he will perform as expected by the coach on the pitch. It’s not like he insults the team in any way, just states his opinion. Sometimes media tries too hard to dig something up from a player’s past.
