Ahead of tomorrow’s Champions League opener with Tottenham Hotspur, Inter defender Milan Skriniar took part in the pre-match press conference.
“We did not manage to score even though we could have scored 3 or 4. Now there is another game ahead of us and we have to think about this but let’s not forget what happened against Parma as we have to take the positives from it.”
Skriniar was then asked on the importance of tomorrow’s match and coming up against one of the world’s top strikers in Harry Kane.
“I do not want to say that it is decisive but if we do well we can put everything right, certainly it is an important match for us. I have thought many times about tomorrow’s match just after Lazio, not just me but everyone else too. I’ve never played in the Champions League and I can not wait. When you play in the Champions League you want to play these teams and I’m sure that we can do well.
“I played against him for Slovakia and we lost but I hope tomorrow is another story. I’ve seen some videos, he’s a great player and he’s also shown that at the World Cup. Kane can do nothing for 20 minutes and can then score at the first opportunity. We have to be ready not only for him but also for other players.”
The Slovakian also spoke on his contractual situation with the Nerazzurri.
“We are talking, but I’m calm, everything is open, now there are lots of games and we have to think about these first.”
