Inter’s newly announced signing Lisandro Lopez has spoken to Inter TV upon joining the club on an initial six month loan deal from Portuguese outfit Benfica.

“To play for a club such as Inter who are one of the biggest in Europe is a dream which means a lot for me,” he started out.

He proceeded to discuss some of his compatriot’s who have represented Inter in the past.

“I’ve come here to give a hand to the team, to help it reach its objectives. There have been a lot of Argentines at Inter. Among others, Samuel, Zanetti and Milito come to mind and they’re all players who’ve made history. I hope to do well too. I used to follow Serie A and it’s one of the best leagues in the world for me. It’s very tactical, very competitive and I’ll look to give my all and learn day by day.”

Finally, there was a question on his choice of shirt number. “I’ve had the number two for many years and I like it. I was fortunate to find it free here so I had no doubts.
