Saphir Taider was presented as an Inter player today and started with answering the question about if he thuoght that Inter could win the Scudetto:

“We all know Inter is a great club that is supposed to compete for the title, but we can’t think about that. We only have to focus on winning our games and working hard.”

What’s your prefered role on the midfield?

“I don’t prefer any role on the midfield. I only think about helping the team and give all I have, just like I’ve always done. Then it is up to the coach to decide when and where I’ll play. We must prove on the practice sessions that we want to play. We also know that the season is very long and that everyone will contribute.”

What do you think Inter has that could scare other teams?

“I don’t know if we’ll scare other teams, but we know what we can do. I’ve never feared anyone. We’ll enter the field to win, because this shirt gives us the power to give everything every game.”

Does it feel like the right time to join Inter?

“Yes it is the right time. My target has always been joining a great club, and Inter is one. I’ll do everything to take this club as high as possible and to remain at this club for as long as possible.”

Our colleagues on Fcinternews.it then ask if there was other teams that wanted Taider but that he prefered Inter:

“To be honest I don’t know. I played with my national team after the season was finished and I only concentrated on that. After the vacation and during the pre season I concentrated on Bologna. When I got to know that Inter and Bologna had agreed a deal for me I was very happy. I wanted to join a great club and now I’m here.”

Could the fact that you missed the pre season with Inter be negative for you?

“I’m in great physical form and we all speak the language of football. I am ready. I’m not worried that I’ve missed anything because “Il Mister” has already played me as well.”

You were owned by Juventus who didn’t buy you, why? Can you take revenge on them at Inter?

“I don’t know, that was something the clubs talked about. I only thought about doing well on the field for Bologna.”

You’re here in a co-ownership and need to prove your qualities, could it change anything in your style of play?

“When you know what you can do, you have no problems. I’m sure about my qualities and I have no problems. I know myself very well and these things don’t bother me at all.”
