Van der Meyde is a former Inter and PSV player so tonight's Champions League game will be special for him. He got an ovation from the Nerazzurri fans during the first leg at PSV's home: "I hope Inter qualifies for the next round, I'm still an interista. It will be difficult for Tottenham to beat Barcelona at Camp Nou but everything's possible in football. They also will have to be careful against PSV, they have nothing to lose and have quality youngsters like Lozano. I'm sure of one thing though: when Inter plays home and need a win, they'll get it in the end. Spalletti has character and you can see he has a good relationship with the team".
"I've had Cuper, Zaccheroni, Mancini as coaches but I didn't like any of them. They were saying "we have to play with the wingers, but you have to defend". I was playing as a midfielder but I was a right winger. I never had defended, here's why it was difficult for me. Life as a star? I was blessed with my talent, but I've lived three years in a hospital because of my daughter's illness. I had money, I thought I could do everything but couldn't help her. Regrets? I have many, but feel good today. I thought I was always right, thinking the world was against me: I didn't listen to anyone and that's how I threw myself away. There still are players today who make mistakes like I did, I'd like to help them so they wouldn't".
