At the press conference on the eve of the match against Arsenal in the Champions League, the Inter defender Matthew Darmian he also spoke about the expectations and responsibilities of the Nerazzurri team after last year’s Scudetto:
Inter veteran, it is said that they remain the strongest team. The feeling is that you are not yet at last year’s level. What is hardest to replicate?
“The ambitions are always high, when you play in an important club like Inter you always want to achieve the maximum objectives. Every day we can improve and we try to do so, maybe in the championship this year we left a few points but we are there and we want to continue in the growth process that began years ago. Then the field will decide whether we are favorites or not.”
Is the weight of the shirt with the shield on the chest different?
“I think not, I think that the will and desire to defend a championship is an important thing. There must be a ferocious desire to defend it, I think it takes a great will to win: I know this group of lads well, the way they work I don’t have doubts about quality and determination”.
How do you feel physically and mentally?
“We feel good, we are coming from a positive period and we know very well that winning helps to win. We didn’t have many days to prepare for this match, but we did it in the best possible way. These are matches that prepare themselves, we will give our best “.
