Well it's normal that for a player who has just been given the opportunity of a lifetime, he comes out and praises the club that gave him that chance. Of course he was going to say that Internazionale Milano is the best club in Italian football, but we all know that is just not true. If we go and look at the present, it's Juventus FC the club worthy of that title. If we look at the historical side of things, it's AC Milan and not Inter the club that deserves that distinction.
But on the day of his presentation, saying another one of these clubs is better than Inter isn't politically correct. Gabigol said this: "I'm very happy to be part of the history of this club. The whole project at Inter convinced me, from the coaches to the players. This is the biggest club of Italy. I turned down a big offer from China in favor of Inter. Other clubs wanted me as well, but the fans' affection made the difference for me. I'm here to help them win.
"Everyone has been so kind to me. I can't wait to play with my new team-mates. I want to give my contribution. I feel in good shape and I'm available for selection for this weekend's match against Bologna. It was an intense summer but Inter gave me time to rest and ease myself into the squad. I want to help my team-mates and I can't wait to start. My position isn't important, helping the team is. The treble-winning Inter gave everything in games. That's what I want to do. We have great players here."
