Mateo Kovačić is called to Croatia’s friendly against Switzerland and in an interview with Croatian gol.hr he talked also about his situation at Inter. Kovačić has played in a total of 25 games , but only 10 from the start and in 6 of these , he has been replaced.
“I feel good even though I haven’t played in a while. I’m ready for all the games. I didn’t expect this situation, in the recent past I haven’t played much under the current coach and therefore I’ve spent a lot of time on the bench. But I want to work well anyway to prepare for the World Cup. If I play well with the national team in this game, it could give me more space at Inter. I can’t expect a big change after one game but coming back will certainly be beneficial.”
To a question about Mazzarri’s criticism of his play Mateo replied: “It’s not for me to comment on the coach’s decisions, he arguably prefers a more defensive style, while I prefer a more attacking football. I have to get used to it, I have no choice, but I need time. Sooner or later there will be room for everyone.”
On Inter’s recent signing Hernanes who will be his opponent in the World Cup: “We haven’t talked much about the game, but when it comes to Inter, I can say that he is the right reinforcement for us, he’s a top player and a very good buy.”
On the situation at Inter: “It’s a difficult time for me, I’m not used to being on the bench. I need time to readjust myself, I think I can do it.”
