Laxalt

He is waiting to go to Italy and Inter. Diego Laxalt, the young talent from Uruguay Inter locked during the January transfer window, talks in an interview with calciomercato.com about his childhood dreams: “As a child, my goal was to play in Europe and my dream was to wear Inter’s shirt. I could watch the games on TV and I really liked the way Inter played. So I became an Inter supporter. I chose them on the Playstation, I still play and now with greater right with Inter. As soon as I found out about their offer, after a brief consultation with my parents and my agent, I had no doubts. Lazio were also looking for me. But Inter is Inter…”

Laxalt also explained what his position on the pitch is: “I have always played as a midfielder. I’m a ‘volante’, one who likes both the offensive and defensive part of the game. I think I can be compared to Edgar Davids in terms of my style of playing.”

Comparisons with Alvaro Recoba is thus incorrect: “I don’t know what the reason for them is. But I want to point out that he and I play two completely different positions. Additionally, I want to get into Inter’s history with my own name and for what I do on the pitch for Inter. And not live in someone else’s shadow.”

Laxalt says he is ready for his adventure in Serie A: “Absolutely. In the end, football is always football. Certainly, the Italian league is faster than the Uruguayan, but I watch it a lot on television to ‘study’ your secrets. But I say it again, football is always football, and I believe in my potential. If I know someone at Inter? Personally, no. I’ve only seen a glimpse of Mateo Kovacic, I exchanged a few words with president Moratti. He immediately asked if I liked Inter and I got a good impression. Via Phone I have asked Alvaro Pereira about Italy. Palito had much good to say to me and I really hope it will be that way.”

The fact that Inter are not playing in the Champions League is not a problem: “There are seasons that are less favorable than others, but I’m sure Inter will get back where they belong next season to fight to win the Scudetto. I would like to score in the derby against Milan … and then also against Juventus.”
