The day before the meeting between Inter Milan and Parma, and after his first goal for Inter against Roma, Jonathan spoke to Inter Channel: “It’s true, that goal will forever remain in my mind. Too bad about the end result, it wasn’t what we wanted. If I could choose between scoring a goal and a win for my team, I would choose the second option, but it was obviously important for me to score to boost my confidence. I hope I will be able to do more for my team in the matches that are left.”
It was definitely one of the most beautiful goals this season and combinations like that are far easier to achieve during practice than during matches: “Yes, on the pitch its another story. During 90 minutes it’s more difficult because the opponents are more attentive, but we must always try. Rocchi was very good, I followed what was happening inside the penalty area and he did well when he gave the ball back to me. There was a need to score that way and I was also lucky because Stekelenburg is a good keeper, just like ours. It was a nice combination, it was the match that I was missing: I heard the fans screaming my name and this is fundamental for me, the most important thing.”
The first goal in Italy, Jonathan scored with Parma, Inter’s next opponent: “We hope to give continuity to our performances and make as good a first half as we did against Roma, but we hope to do it for the entire match. It is not easy, the number of injuries are many, but the ones that will be on the pitch will have the heart and desire to win. We know it’s difficult, but we will be playing at home with all of our fans and we hope to be successful in this and all upcoming matches.”
