Dodò: “We have a responsibility to write history, because now the treble is in the past”

He has shown character and personality on the pitch in a pre-season as a protagonist, but also in front of the camera. José Rodolfo Pires Ribeiro, one of the new faces of Inter is looking forward and setting his sights on… Stjarnan and a treble. Dodô is winning over fans and a Walter Mazzarri, who in the first leg of the Europa League preliminary will put his trust in him on the left from the first minute. But watch out for surprises: “The fact that we don’t know the opponent could well be a factor, but we have to be good at understanding their movements right now,” the Brazilian explained in an interview with Sky Sport.

He then continues to talk about past, future and… Diego Milito: “We have a responsibility to write history because now the treble is in the past. It’s logical that fans remember that season fondly, but now they want a new team. The number 22 of Milito on his shoulders? It weighs like all the others, but the important name is not the one behind the shirt, but the one in front (‘Inter’, ed.) Milito is the past and after me there will be a new number 22.”

The response of the 22-year old from Campinas to those who criticize the team because of a possession of the ball that is judged ‘sterile’: “This probably happened because the coach didn’t have all the players available from the very beginning. On the contrary, the defensive department was complete from the beginning and thus Mazzarri has focused a lot of attention on defense and we’ve learned his ideas and what he wanted.”

On the Tuscan coach Dodô continues: “What he has given me? A lot of confidence with such an important character. His mentality is right because he wants us to understand that we have to give everything we have, in practice as well as in official matches.”

On the season’s objectives: “We want to fight for the top places, both for the Champions League and for the Scudetto. Our goal is to reach as high as possible.”
