The midfielder ofInter, Piotr Zielinskigave an interview to Sports newspaper on newsstands today, in which he spoke both about his present at the Nerazzurri and about his farewell to Napoli. Starting from the competition he found in Milan: “It’s okay, it’s a pleasure to be in a team with people like Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan. In the end I play anyway. We have so many games… I know I will be satisfied with the appearances at the end of the season “.
But De Laurentiis, a year ago, “took” Europe away from her by excluding her from the UEFA list, when he found out about Inter: was it the biggest disappointment from a human point of view, not just a sporting one?
“I think so, there was the match against Lewandowski’s Barcelona for the round of 16, a highly anticipated ‘derby’ in Poland. I accepted that decision, even if I was very angry, but De Laurentiis doesn’t like certain things…”.
He took great revenge: he is among the players most used by Inzaghi in the Champions League…
“These are the coach’s choices that make me happy, I’m happy to often have the opportunity to play.”
What if he had to choose between a second scudetto in Italy or the first Champions League final?
“The final, hoping to win it. But I certainly won’t put the scudetto aside.”
Is Inter capable of pulling off the double blow?
“Why not? We have a very strong team. And we will try to go all the way in every competition.”
Does Inzaghi see him only as a coach or also as a former colleague?
“He’s our coach. And he has excellent relationships with everyone. He jokes but at times he’s also tough, he knows how to explain and is very prepared. It’s a pleasure to work with him.”
Would the Scudetto against Inter be different from the one against Napoli?
“Not for me. Maybe it changes due to the clubs’ histories. In Naples they have been waiting for many years. Napoli-Inter will be different instead of Inter-Napoli. There will be many of my friends at the stadium. I hope to win, but for the rest I wish them all the best.”
What do you expect from 2025?
“I would like to win many trophies with Inter, I hope for a year full of satisfaction, glory and goals. One of these maybe in the return derby. But if it already arrives in the Super Cup I’m happy anyway.”
