Skriniar: “I did not expect my transition to be so easy, Scudetto talk is premature”

Ahead of Slovenia’s World Cup Qualifier with England, Inter defender Milan Skriniar spoke to Sport Pravda on his arrival at the Nerazzurri: “At first I heard that Inter was interested in me but I did not take it very seriously. Interest is one thing, the transfer is another. Everything happened very quickly, just like when I moved from Zilina to Sampdoria. I did not know that my career would change so quickly. I did not expect it [his transition] to be so easy, but I tried to make it normal. I tried to prepare myself psychologically. Now I have to show how much I am worth. The manager wanted me, and that means he had plans for me from the beginning.”

Skriniar was then asked about his transfer fee: “At first I thought about it a little bit, but then no more. Fans always want big name coming to Inter. I am not a big name, so I have to make a lot of effort to confirm my place in this team.”

The 22 year old spoke on his partnership with Miranda: “He is an experienced footballer, we are at ease on the pitch: we are improving.”

Skriniar then discussed the differences between former club Sampdoria and Inter: “It’s a jump but not as big as the one from Zilina to Sampdoria. Sampdoria is a great club, but Inter is even bigger. We were in China and there are so many fans, everyone knows this team.”

He concluded by speaking on Inter’s scudetto chances:”Inter wants to keep on winning, they want to go back to the positions they were in a few years ago. For now, this talk is still premature.”
