Schelotto and Kuzmanovic were presented today and here is what the two players had to say. They were first asked about the numbers they’ve chosen and what Inter means o them:

Schelotto: “I want to thank everyone because it’s fantastic to arrive at Inter. Thank you Moratti and the teammates. I chose number 7 since I’ve allways chosen it in Italy and it’s a great satisfaction to be able to wear it at Inter.”

Kuzmanovic: “I want to thank Branca, President Moratti, my agent and the team that welcomed me well. Number 17 was free so I chose it.”

How is the Italian football you return to Kuzmanovic?

“I chose to change because I wanted to play in the Bundesliga, but after 3.5 years I wanted to come back to Italy. I love this championship, Inter wanted me and I told them straight away I wanted to come here. The championship here is different from the Bundesliga. In the Bundesliga is more about physics and speed, here it’s more about technique and tactics.”

Was Inter the only big team in Italy who wanted you Schelotto?

“I heard from Inter a lot so it was hard to wait during this time. I don’t want to complain and I’m very happy to be here. I recently arrived but it feels like I’ve been here for a life time, my teammates and the coach have been close to me.”

Kuzmanovic, did you talk with Inter about joining them free at June?

“Yes we talked about it but everything changed in two days and I arrived straight away. I’m very happy about it and now I can get to know Inter better during these months.”

Schelotto, do you think you’ll fit in well in a 3-5-2?

“The most important thing is to play, Stramaccioni has told me what he wants from me and I can surely play on the wing without any problems.”

Kuzmanovic, what’s your role?

“I can play in more roles, I’ve talked to Stramaccioni as well and he has made me understand what he wants from me. I’ll do everything to make him happy.”

Schelotto, were you afraid that the negotiations wouldn’t finish well?

“I knew it’d all finish well and it did at the end. Now I’m just happy to finally wear this shirt.”

Kuzmanovic, are you afraid of the pressure from San Siro?

“I’m never afraid. Many champions have played at the San Siro and I want to show the supporters that I can do well. In Firenze and Stuttgart I had a tough crowd as well but I’m very happy and I want to prove myself.”

Our colleagues on Fcinternews.it ask what Schelotto would like to say to the Atalanta supporters that asked him to give everything or leave

“I felt well at Bergamo, then Inter gave me this opportunity. I can only thank the Atalanta supporters and I always gave my everything for that shirt. Now I’m wearing Inters shirt, I’m sad for the Atalanta supporters but this trains doesn’t pass often.”

Fcinternews ask Kuzmanovic if he’s ready to adapt to a role as a playmaker

“At Stuttgart I played in front of the defense. I’ve played there for three and a half years and I can do it. We’ll see what happens but I’m ready and I want to give my all.”

Schelotto are you ready to play straight away?

“Yes I’m ready but it’s up to Stramaccioni to decide. I want to prove for everyone that I’m ready for these colors.”

Kuzmanovic, what did you learn in Germany?

“I improved pchysically and in speed. I’m more mature now in difference from at Fiorentina when I was younger. Now I feel like a better player.”

Schelotto, here you’re back with Nagatomo who was your teammate at Cesena..

“Yuto is a very good player and I’m happy to be back with him. He has improved a lot.”

Schelotto, do you have a role model who you follow?

“Yes, Zanetti. I’ve always said it. I don’t need to tell you who’s the captain, I hope to follow his steps.”

Kuzmanovic, your idol?

“I dreamt about playing with Stankovic, now it’s a reality. He’s a phenomenom, he has won everything and has been the captain of the Serbian national team. It’s an amazing feeling to play with him and I want to do what he has done.”
