Moses, Eriksen motivate teammates with initiation songs at Inter dinner
Nigeria’s Victor Moses and Christian Eriksen lifted the souls of their teammates with songs at a dinner organised by Inter Milan of Italy.
The duo had the daunting task of singing their initiation songs in the presence of other top brass of the club and their girlfriends.
The players arrived at the San Siro in the January transfer window and are still getting to know manager Antonio Conte and their new colleagues.
But no new signing is fully integrated into a squad until they are put through a horrendously embarrassing moment and both Eriksen and Moses had theirs in a plush Milan restaurant.
Eriksen, who left Tottenham for £17million in the final few days of the transfer window, was up first and performed the Oasis classic Wonderwall with confidence.
But former Manchester United pair Romelu Lukaku and Ashley Young were not impressed with the song choice – Liam and Noel Gallagher of Oasis fame are huge City fans – or Eriksen’s execution, laughing as the Dane encouraged his team-mates to clap along.
Moses’ performance was a lot more subdued, working his way through Dizzee Rascal’s Chillin’ wiv da Man Dem as his team-mates once again upped the tempo by clapping to the beat.
Young has made three appearances for Inter so far, playing 90 minutes in all three games.
Moses, who arrived from Fenerbahce, made his debut in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia last month before starting for the first time in Serie A in last week’s win over Udinese.
It comes after Young drew criticism for flying his preferred barber over 700 miles from Manchester to Milan just for a hair cut.
The former United man clearly loves the work of stylist Daniel Johnson but bizarrely opted for just a shaved head, something that surely could have been done by a local.
Young was ridiculed on social media, with one user commenting: ‘Might as well shave it all off it’s not hard’.
Johnson looked delighted at the free trip to Italy, smiling for a picture of the pair that he posted on Instagram, captioned: ‘Anywhere in the world’.
Young has made an impressive start to life in the Italian game, providing an assist on his debut against Cagliari at the San Siro.
