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.”
