Fredy Guarin is looking forward to the match against Fiorentina. However, when he was interviewed by Corriere dello Sport he spoke about the stunning 7-0 victory against Sassuolo : “Stay at 4-0 ? I’m sorry for my colleagues’ sake, but in football you have to commit to the maximum. The World Cup in Brazil? First we have to qualify, but Colombia can do well because it is a very good team with a coach that has given us so much. Roma and Cagliari ? We can go far if we focus on one game at a time,” said Guarin and repeated the mantra that coach Mazzarri is trying to instill in the squad.

Remember 4-1 on Franchi ?

“I remember that game, it was a difficult time for us and we had many injured players. Fiorentina, on the other hand , was very good and had confidence. This was a horrible loss.”

Ready for revenge tomorrow?

“We go out on the pitch to do well and win. So far, our results have been positive, but we can not release the pressure. We are just at the beginning of the season.”

How much will the absence of Gomez, Pizarro and Cuadrado affect?

“They are three important and crucial players for their team, but in Bergamo they won and played well despite their absences. Montella’s team is playing some good football.”

Is Cuadrado the best winger in the league?

“He is different from all the others, he is an impressive ability. When he changes direction, you can’t catch him. I appreciate him even in the national team and he is really good.”

What kind of duel will it be with Borja Valero?

“I think the Spaniard is Viola’s most important player right now, he decides the team’s rhythm. Facing him will not be easy.”

In the attack , on the other hand , you need to be alert to Giuseppe Rossi.

“In Spain, he did a lot and showed his value. After the injury, he has now returned to his level.”

Even Milito, with two goals on Sunday, proved to be back in his old form.

“Diego’s recovery is very important for the team and the fans. Having him during training camp was good for us because he has a big impact on our team, even as a person.”

Compared to last season’s disappointment, what has changed in Inter?

“First and foremost, we have a new coach, the starting point for a fresh start. Then we work very differently from the way we did earlier: Mazzarri is meticulous with details and makes sure we are prepared for every game.”

After having conceded 57 goals last season, you have now only conceded one in four games…

“During each training session , we work hard to improve. We have done it since the first day of training camp and the results have shown that we have done it right, but we can’t stop there.”

Are Inter battling for one of the three places that qualify the team for the Champions League ?

“To return to the Champions League is a big motivation, but we must not think too much about it. Our goal is to make the best of every game.”

After 7-0 against Sassuolo there were some who talked about the Scudetto . Is it too early?

“When the team is doing well , some predictions are inevitable, but we must not be distracted. If we work hard, always think as a team and sacrifice ourselves for each other, the results will come.”

What do you think of the fight for the Scudetto, Juve or Napoli?

“Juve are a strong team and have the advantage that they have been together for several years. Hard work and continuity will be vital from now until the end of the season. At Napoli, they have a great squad, but must maintain the current level. It will not be easy even if Napoli are strong and have a coach who is capable enough to achieve great results everywhere.”

Has the distance to Juve decreased?

“We are working to become a better and more consistent team. We can reach a high level if we follow the coach.”

Have you been surprised by Roma’s performances?

“Four wins out of four is not a coincidence. You can see Garcia’s influence, but also the signings of Maicon and Gervinho have been important.”

Then there’s Totti, who at age 37 still makes the difference…

“At his age I don’t know if I’m still on the pitch. It ‘s amazing how he can make the difference, he’s a champion.”

You seem to be in better shape and more lean than before. Is it thanks to Mazzarri’s treatment?

“As a player, I am always the same. Right now I work a lot on the individual level and as a team to integrate in the best way with my teammates. At my age I’m still learning many things and I can easily put them into practice. My goal is to always get better, even when it comes to playing without the ball.”

Will it be clearer where Inter are standing after the matches against Fiorentina , Cagliari and Roma?

“We will face great teams and I think maybe we will do an even better job than we did in the previous games.”

Are you having any thoughts about extending the contract beyond 2016?

“You have to ask the club about that, but I feel very good here.”
