One of the most complete central midfielders in the world, Patrick Vieira joins Inter after two seasons at Juventus, nine at Arsenal, one at AC Milan and two and a half at Cannes, where he captained the team aged just 19. Vieira made his international debut in a match against Holland on 26 February 1997, and took over from Zidane as captain of France after the 2006 World Cup. In between he won a World Cup in 1998 and a European Championship in 2000. Strength, precision, elegance and character. Vieira is a hard tackler whose distribution is excellent. He often scores vital penalty-area goals with both his head and feet. A charismatic figure on and off the pitch, he is an example for his team-mates. Patrick Vieira scored twice on his competitive debut for Inter as the Nerazzurri came back from three goals down to beat Roma and lift the 2006 Italian Super Cup.
