The Polish midfielder Piotr Zielinski was interviewed by InterTV after the Nerazzurri’s 1-0 victory against Arsenal at San Siro on the fourth day of the Champions League. These are his statements: “We entered well and in the first 25 minutes we dominated, then they took the ball and created something, but it was important to win and we achieved a great victory. We knew that we were facing a great team, one of those that can win the Champions League. We are happy with what we did.”
How do you experience the new Champions League?
“Well, we have 10 points and we will try to win as many games as possible to get into the top 8.”
The next championship match with Napoli?
“It will be a great match, two great teams will face each other. We hope to win because it would be very important for our championship, I lived 8 wonderful years in Naples but now I’m at Inter and I will give everything for this shirt.”
