So far, he has received very little playing time with Varese but Lukas Spendlhofer hasn’t lost hope to get more space for the following matches to convince the new coach Carmine Gautieri. The Austrian defender who is on loan from Inter was interviewed by calciomercato.com and talked about his situation: “I had hoped to play more up to now, fortunately I have been playing with the Austrian U21 national team. Even though I have gotten little playing time I like it in Varese, the team is good and the environment also allows you to work in the best way. I’m not in a bad situation, but I hope to get more chances to play. I’m sorry that coach Stefano Sottili had to leave because he is a very good coach, but since the results didn’t come, the club made the decision to make a change. On the new coach, I can’t say much because we only had two training sessions with him, but the impression has been good. I hope to play some more, then the decision is up to the coach and we’ll see what happens, I will always do my best.”
Spendlhofer then described himself as a player: “I like to anticipate the plays and read the plays before the attackers. I have a good eye for the game, I’m good at positioning and even though I’m right footed, I can play with both feet. I have an idol in football and always follow him, as a supporter of Borussia Dortmund and as a defender I always watch when Mats Hummels plays. For a defender like me, it’s normal to look at other defenders rather than the attackers. From him I always try to learn something more. then I cheer for Inter in Italy because I was there for two and a half years and it was in that team I started my career for real. Generally I cheer more for Borussia,” he added , laughing.
If he is still in contact with anyone at Inter: “I have contact with my teammates from last season and also my former teammates who, like me now are playing in Serie B, most recently, for example, I met Mame Thiam who now is playing for Lanciano. I often go to Milan and we all go together out to eat, to the movies, I have a great relationship with my former teammates in the Primavera.”
About his future goals: “Now I want to do well here in Varese and I don’t know what will happen in the future, I have a contract until 2016 and I really hope to return to Inter. But I have to grow here, I must prove that I deserve to wear Inter’s shirt. Of course, I hope to one day return to Inter, even 10 years from now…”
