Luciano Spalletti spoke on Borja Valero among many other players after Inter’s 2-1 friendly win over Wattens yesterday: “Borja Valero has a very specific style and he proves that in every game. He won’t change for Inter, he’ll be consistent. Having that type of player is very important for me. I know him well and I’m sure he will be appreciated by all Interisti.”
The manager also spoke on the future of Ivan Perisic, who is expected at Brunico today: “I will speak to everyone and clearly for those who are ‘distracted’ there will be different words, I will listen to him, I have no doubts: I am counting on him, but we’ll have to understand his intentions. It would not be nice for me to hear him say words like: ‘I want to leave.’ We’ll see. You keep talking about Perisic and his desire to leave, but first I need to listen to his own words and then we’ll decide how to act. In any case, I will say this: we are Inter and we can opt to make different decisions compared to ideas of the players. I hope to have him in the side, I am counting on him and I am positive in that sense.”
Andrea Ranocchia and Geoffrey Kondogbia, who featured in the friendly, were also spoken about by Spalletti: “For Andrea, I can not say anything other than he trains well and we count on him. We’ll see what happens and we will adjust accordingly. Kondogbia? From what I’ve seen he looks like an Inter Milan player, he is able to dribble, knows how to travel with the ball at speed and make the right choices.”
Spalletti also spoke on former player Rajda Nainggolan, who Inter have came in to strong links with: “We are talking about a great lad as well as a wonderful player. He’s very different to how people talk about him, he just has this remarkable sporting determination. I received a lot from him, so I am pleased when he says positive things about me. Our directors are working at 360 degrees on the market and I trust our directors.”
The former Roma boss was then asked if he had identified a leader on the park: “We have to raise them, we have a team that has personality.”
