Inter recruit De Vrij dismisses debate over Lazio loyalty after final day struggles

New Inter signing Stefan de Vrij insists his conscience is clear over a controversial final performance for Lazio at the end of last season.

De Vrij was widely believed to be on the verge of signing for Inter on a free transfer when he lined up against his future employers on the closing day of the Serie A season in May.

The defender gave away a penalty which sparked the Nerazzurri's comeback for a 3-2 victory, with the result sealing their Champions League qualification at the expense of Lazio.

Inter ultimately confirmed the move in July but, speaking to the media on Wednesday, the 26-year-old insisted he had given his all for his old side.
