Playmaker Inter Milan, Wesley Sneijder, optimistis dirinya akan menyabet penghargaan FIFA Ballon d'Or tahun ini. Bagi Sneijder, raihan Ballon d'Or akan melengkapi raihan tiga gelarnya musim lalu.

Sneijder bersama Xavi dan Andres Iniesta menjadi kandidat utama tahun ini. Nama mereka bertiga menggeser pemain-pemain terbaik dunia macam Cristiano Ronaldo dan Lionel Messi. Xavi dan Iniesta masuk perhitungan karena mengantar Barcelona juara Liga BBVA dan Spanyol juara Piala Dunia.

Adapun Sneijder memberikan treble untuk Inter musim lalu. Ia juga membantu timnas Belanda ke final Piala Dunia. Jika berbicara raihan prestasi, Sneijder percaya dirinyalah yang paling pantas. "Treble bersama Inter, lima gol di Piala Dunia, dan final Piala Dunia, aku harap mereka menghitung keseluruhan musim," tutur mantan penggawa Real Madrid tersebut.

Jika menang, Sneijder akan menjadi pemain Belanda keempat yang meraih gelar prestisius tersebut. "Aku ingin memenangkannya, seperti halnya Johan Cruyff dan Marco Van Basten. Aku ingin dipilih sebagai yang terbaik di dunia," pungkas pemain bernomor punggung 10 tersebut. Satu lagi pemain Belanda yang pernah meraihnya adalah Ruud Gullit di tahun 1987.

Jika berada di urutan kedua, Sneijder hanya akan menyamai prestasi Dennis Bergkamp, 18 tahun lalu. Pengumuman pemenang sendiri akan dilakukan di Zurich, Swiss, pada 10 Januari mendatang.

Pelatih Inter Milan, Rafael Benitez, berjanji bahwa dirinya akan memimpin "La Beneamata" mempertahankan gelar scudetto musim ini. Tak hanya itu, Benitez bahkan yakin, dirinya juga bisa membantu Inter memenangkan Piala Dunia Antarklub.

Kualitas Benitez sempat dipertanyakan menyusul periode buruk yang dialami Inter. Untungnya, dalam dua laga terakhir Inter bisa menang sehingga Benitez dapat memperpanjang nafasnya di Serie-A. Benitez mengakui, timnya memang belum sebaik Inter musim lalu. Namun, ia percaya secara perlahan-lahan Inter akan dapat kembali menajdi Inter yang ditakuti lawan.

Ketika ditanya dari skala 1 sampai 10, berapa nilai yang ia berikan terhadap enam bulan pertamanya di Inter, Benitez menjawab, "Saya memberi nilai 6, 75. Tim ini masih berkembang. Banyak pemain cedera dan ketika kami semua siap, Anda akan melihat tim yang lebih baik," sebut Benitez.

"Saya senang dengan upaya yang telah dilakukan tim ini dalam dua pertandingan terakhir. Saya sangat bangga dengan pemain saya dalam periode ini."

"Partisipasi di Piala Dunia Antarklub diperoleh berkat usaha pemain yang masih di sini, berkat klub, dan bukan hanya usaha pelatih. Saya hanya perlu berpikir bahwa kami bisa menang. Saya memiliki keyakinan bahwa kami bisa memenangi trofi lain, bahkan scudetto," lanjut mantan manajer Liverpool tersebut.

"Pada awal musim, ketika semua pemain fit kami bermain sepak bola dengan baik. Banyak pemain yang sukses tahun lalu, sekarang sedang cedera, mulai dari Julio Cesar sampai Maicon, mulai dari Diego Milito sampai Thiago Motta yang baru saja pulih," tuntasnya.
