The Inter midfielder Nicolò Barella spoke on the talks team of Betsson Sports touching on various topics related to his role in the Nerazzurri group:
Are you one of the veterans, do you feel this responsibility within the group?
“I’m getting older… everyone is important, both the young people and those who have been here for a long time. Those who have been here for many years can convey what it means to play for Inter but even those who have recently arrived have immediately understood the mentality of this team and the desire to win that is in all of us. It’s easy to fit everything together.”
Best moment with the Inter shirt?
“There are many good memories, the victory of the scudetto in the derby will remain written in the history of Inter and in our hearts. We remember it with pleasure”.
Frattesi is passionate about tennis, imagine challenging him in another sport to beat him
“I choose the paddle, we change the racket and we put him in difficulty.”
Best adjective to describe Darmian?
“Gentleman”.
Any special rituals before entering the field?
“Darmian is our cabal. In the heating there is one…”.
A teaching from Riva that you hold dear?
“It’s a relationship that I carry with me very willingly, before talking about the player he always told me how I should be on the outside, he conveyed to me what he thought. It was very important, as a figure off the pitch he was an example that I have tried to follow.”
If you could talk to yourself as a child, what advice would you give yourself?
“I would tell him to live football as I have been doing in recent years and not as I did before, it has always been a passion but when it gets too much into private life it’s not good. Go to the pitch, have fun and always give your best in the 90′ or training but then when you switch off you think about your private life. This is the path that always takes you with football in mind but you also have to enjoy the moments and not be too focused.”
A special moment with the San Siro fans in recent months
“The greatest emotion was the Champions League semi-final with Milan, I will never forget the roar after the victory and the passage to the final.”
