Then the questions from the journalists began.
What does it mean for you to wear this shirt?
“To be hear is a dream, I have always wanted to play here. It is a great team with a great history. I have never met fans this passionate before. It is something really special, I am happy to be here and I hope I can prove that the investment the club has done was the right thing to do.”
Do you feel the pressure?
“No I don’t feel pressured. I will follow the coach.”
What has Kovacic told you?
“He says he will always stay close to me and help me whenever I need it.”
Can you describe yourself as a player?
“I am a midfielder. I prefer playing centrally or as a defensive midfielder, it depends on the formation.”
Why did you choose the no. 77 and how are you?
“I would have preferred the 11; I took 77 because it was not available. It was the same at Dinamo. How I am? I’ve been practising the last 20 days, I am ready.”
Milan were also interested, why did you chose Inter?
“There was some interest but I didn’t really know much about it. I chose Inter because the conditions were good and they had a lot of players that I knew.”
Who did you use to look up to, and who would you like to emulate?
“I like Frank Lampard a lot, I hope to become like him.”
FcIN: You had offers from the UK, how do you see the serie A and why did you choose it?
“I like the Premier League, but Italian football is fast and tactical. I prefer that.”
FcIN: You will only be able to play in the league; will it be hard not to play in Europe?
“There is now problem.”
What are your goals at Inter?
“I am very young, I hope to develop and be a complete player in a year.”
