Before leaving for Udine, where Inter tomorrow night will play the 33rd match of Serie A at the Stadio Friuli, Felipe, the former Udinese player, spoke to Inter Channel. The Brazilian started by answering a question of nostalgia: “For me it is a return home, I still live there in Udine and it is always emotional. There I started my career, I owe so much to them, but now we need the three points.”
Easy for defenders who are brought up in Udine. “The secret of Udinese is the environment that allows you to work calmly, then there are many young players in the team. There are also three defenders playing which is much easier because they have more coverage.”
Udinese comes from a victory against Milan. “They were in training camp up until last week. I saw the first half against Milan and I saw a lot of anger and desire. It will be a combattive match: they want to avoid relegation, while we have to give continuity after the victory against Roma to reach our goal.”
Di Natale and retirement. “I tell him to stop saying that he will retire (laughs). He is a formidable player, he has already done a lot and can do so much more: he shows that he is still intact and has no physical problems. It seems strange that he would leave Udinese, perhaps he was confusing Pozzo.”
Emergency in defense. “I am ready, as I have always said, and I want to play.”
