PORTLAND - Daniel Bessa has experienced something of a journeyman career but now he's back at Inter for the pre-season tour of the States and loving every minute of it.
"It's great to come back," the 23-year-old told Inter Channel after training with the team at the University of Portland. "It's kind of like a homecoming although lots of things have changed since I was in the academy. But it's always a great feeling to pull on the Inter shirt - I'm making the most of it in training."
The Brazil-born midfielder came through the Nerazzurri youth ranks and helped the Primavera clinch a NextGen Series and league double in 2012. Since then he has furthered his footballing eduction during loan spells in Serie B, Portugal and the Netherlands.
"I had some good times in the academy and we won a lot. I've matured loads since stepping up to the professional game but there have been a few disappointments along the way too.
"Last year I went back to playing regularly and that was good for my confidence. Now I want to push on from here.
"There are so many talented players at Inter and that makes it easier for you to play your game."
