Christian Eriksen says he was “the black sheep” at Tottenham for being “very honest” over running his contract down at the club.
Denmark midfielder Eriksen joined Inter Milan for £16.9m last month, ending six and a half years with Spurs.
The 27-year-old’s admission he wanted to leave in the aftermath of the Champions League final defeat by Liverpool led some fans to turn on him.
“I did get the blame for a lot of stuff, for being the bad guy,” he said.
His contract at Spurs had been set to expire this summer.
By the time Inter boss Antonio Conte offered an exit route, Eriksen says he had grown tired of the speculation about his future and weary of the finger-pointing from the stands.
In an exclusive interview with BBC Sport, Eriksen outlined his frustrations. In addition, he explained why he feels the treatment he received came because he wanted to be honest, the excitement he feels at joining Inter and Sunday’s derby with AC Milan at the San Siro.
