Guys, let me tell you that I AM SO HAPPY for having shared a great moment today with INTER MILAN players in their first official training in Los Angeles, California towards their 2009 World Football Challenge games.  I have to say that all Inter players were super nice with fans, especially SUPER ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC AND MARCO MATERAZZI.

I've got almost all INTER PLAYERS dedicating autographs for our blog " Italian Soccer Serie A"  Wow, that's so cool and I really appreciate it. I want to thank Inter Milan doctor Franco Combi who was the first person I met from Inter  welcoming me with a happy smile. I thought about my Inter fans visitors Vito Intermobiliare, Mark the Interista, Greg, Hannah, Chrisa, and Yvette while sharing this moment with their team.   

I also thought about MILAN99 when meeting all the Argentinian guys: ESTEBAN EL CUCHO CAMBIASSO, NICOLAS BURDISSO,WALTER SAMUEL...  Javier Zanetti was not present today...  Same thinking about NINA and her babies DAVIDE SANTON and MARIO BALOTELLI.  Smokey 66 it was a SUNNY LOS ANGELES. I know Pietro also like MARCO MATERAZZI, so guys, each one of you werepresent today with me! Sharing with some of my readers here was awesome too.

As a blog, Italian Soccer Serie A,  supports all Italian clubs whenever they play at the international level and I give as much coverage as I can for their Serie A games too. As usual, Coach Jose Mourinho very nice since I met him when he was coaching Chelsea.  It was just a great moment guys to welcome him now as Inter Milan coach. 

Wow, I have to tell you that Italian and Inter defender Marco "MATRIX" Materazzi is just pure honey!   My gosh, he took time to take photos, dedicate autographs for our blog.  I was so impressed to meet him and even told him that "NON CI CREDO, MA QUESTA NOTE NON RIUSCIRO A DORMIRE PER L'EMOZIONE" hello, are you kidding me!!!!  I met my favorite Inter player MARCO MATERAZZI and he was just so nice!!!!   Materazzi just told me  it s' ok and he had a laugh when I was telling him that I was not going to be able to sleep after meeting him LOL. Go Matrix, Go Matrix, Go Matrix!!!!  Awesome.

I must say that Zlatan Ibrahimovic was also super nice and the two just made my day with their kindness and interest  to make sure the photos and dedication for our  "Italian Soccer Serie A," blog came out nice.  wow, just U N B E L I E V A B L E.  Ibrahimovic was very accessible with the fans. I was in heaven walking side by side with Ibrahimovic wow!!!! 

Guys, most fans thought that Ibrahimovic and Materazzi were going to be hard to get, instead, we were all SURPRISED with their dedication to the fans.    I used "not liking Materazzi with Inter, BUT LOVING HIM WHEN PLAYING FOR THE ITALIAN NATIONAL TEAM." Now, hello, ask me and I am a super fan of MATERAZZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIi

Morning training started around 10 a.m. and I was the first one to arrive in the dressing room area. You bet I took all kind of photos and the arrival of the bus. It was just U N B E LI E V A B LE... so excited to see and meet our Serie A players.

The fist person I met from INTER MILAN was Inter doctor Franco Combi. You can see the place was empty... I was the first one to arrive and Iasked Combi whether I was on the right place LOL.  He kindly said, yesyou are.  Players will be here soon.  Hey,  imagine my enthusiasm when he took time to talk and responding to all my questions !!!  Grazie Doctor Combi per essere gentile.



Here are the photos guys. I shared a great moment with the players before and after the training.
