After the announcement of the renewal, Mateo Kovacic met with reporters at Brooks Brothers store to answer questions. Our partner FcInterNews.it was present and here are the words of the young midfielder:
What do you hope to do for Inter in the next 5 years?
“I’m very happy for the renewal, I hope that Inter will get back on the road it was on until 2010, I would like to reach the third place and start winning Scudetti.”
New players have also arrived on offense.
“I’m happy, Lukas played a good game, he’s doing well with us. Shaqiri is very strong, he won the treble with Bayern and I hope he will do the same with us.”
Also thanks to Mancini. How is to play for him?
“Surely the coach is a very important factor, he is a coach who has done well at Inter, City and Galatasaray, everywhere he has been and I am very happy to work with him.”
On Sunday you will not be there because of the suspension.
“Yes, we are in for a tough game. The team is ready, hopefully we get the three points.”
How do you feel about being considered future captain of this team?
“We have a good captain now, Ranocchia, it is a big responsibility. I don’t speak of these things, it doesn’t matter who is the captain.”
With these new arrivals, can Inter aim at the third place?
“Surely, they are two very strong players, hopefully they will do well here and we reach the third place.”
What will you say to Shaqiri?
“That he is welcome, that I’m here if I can help. When it comes to what happens on the pitch I don’t have to explain anything, he is very strong and did well at Bayern and Switzerland. We are happy we got him.”
What role did Thohir have when it comes to your renewal?
“He is important, he made sure that the project started strong, with him and the club we have reached a good agreement.”
Was your expulsion in Turin right?
“If the referee pulled out the red card it was right, If he saw it that way then I agree. If he says it is red it is red, you can’t change anything.”

“We must get Inter back to where it was in 2010″ BUILD A TIME MACHINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bla bla bla
Ah nice to see you again.. I was looking for you back then at wednesday
well hey mate! long time not see… glad you come back
you took so long to absorb the shaqiri shock
not a shock, well maybe his price tag ! is he really worth it? he hasn’t played a game yet but i will tell you this…..what was your shock when inter signed dodo, osvaldo and m’villa……how are they playing so far? JUNK !
Osvaldo = junk? Clearly you haven’t been paying attention. Especially considering we spent practically nothing for him so far, not until Inter activates the option to buy him anyway. The same situation for M’Vila too, option to buy.
osvaldo has played for 10 teams in the last 10 years………clearly he’s junk !! Mancini is smart enough to realize this and management is listening so expect him to go to Cagliari by the end of the month. M’villa is another dick, he’s gone too cuz not even inter is stupid enough to pay 9 mill for him !
Builiding a good solid squad for the future will suffice. Now all Inter need is some investments at the back and perhaps a world class forward to replace Palacio or Osvaldo if he ended up leaving.
inter should have made defense a priority. i don’t care who inter gets to score goals the defense is one of the worst in serie a.
Told you that Vidic will be a different player playing in a back four as opposed to three at the back, he was never really adapted to playing in a back three. The Genoa match seemed to vindicate my sentiment as he was one of the best performer as well as scoring the goal which sealed Inter’s victory.
That being said, you can count that the defense will be Inter’s next priority to fix, either in this transfer window or in the summer. Names such as Schar has been touted.
if inter get nastastic then i will believe it, please get rolando so the rumors of him going to juve will end !!
Nastasic seems very close to joining Schalke if the latest transfer rumours from the media is to be trusted. A shame that Inter didn’t get him, but I’m actually curious about Vidic. Can he maintain his starting spot and play consistently good for a change? Haha
well the question really is: will mancio start ranocchia over vidic?
I really hope Vidic will be given the nod ahead or Rano after his good performance against Genoa. Ranocchia should learn to fight for his position and not just rely on the fact that he’s the skipper. Anyways, are JuBe still interested in acquiring Ranocchia nowadays as it was during Conte’s reign? Conte really wanted him, as far as I know anyway.
see, here’s how Marotta does business…….who the hell is stupid to pay 18 million for Ranocchia? well, that’s right…..INTER ! if Marotta can get him for free why not get him we could use him as a reserve player. Just remember: INTERS STARS = JUVES BENCH but Inter does what it does best…..when the shit players threaten to leave for free inter caves to their demands and over pays for their services just to get them to stay…….for example, Ranocchia and Guarin
Remember Pirlo and Bonucci? They were Inter’s bench warmers back in the day when they were Inter’s players. It seems that reverse logic also applies: INTER’S BENCH = JUVE’S STARS
Inter was stupid to get rid of pirlo…who did he get replaced with ? Vampeta? Cauet? LOL JUNK !! and inter got rid of bonucci to get Ranocchia and that was yet another stupid move…who ended up the better player?? but then again, this is a team that relies on jonathan and Nagatomo to deliver crosses into the box….lol
you are right on this rumor…..ausilio find another defenseman that wants to be loaned out to Inter
Took you long enough, troll..
now just pay 25 m in the summer to bring varan from real (he want to leave) and darmian from toro and we are finalist in the meatza 2016 (in case we reach third place)
Shaqiri, Kovačič, Poldi and Icardi in the attack. A fearsome force, and a young one too(excluding Polde, they are 23, 21 and 20). Stay with the club and I believe, with some further investments in the defensive midfield and defense, we can return to former glory!!
