Inter’s Portuguese international midfielder stopped by Rai Sport to share his thoughts on the Serie A clash against Sampdoria, at home at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milano’s San Siro district, with kick off scheduled for 18.00 CET.

The former Sporting man underlined the importance of racking up wins in terms of continuity in order to give the team more confidence in what they are doing.

“We are feeling well, we are working to win. We won our Europa League clash and we won against Parma, now we have to give continuity in order to win and bring calmness to the team, which is exactly what the team needs to and wants to do today.”

In conclusion the EURO 2016 winner was asked to share his view on how important Mauro Icardi’s absence is for Inter going into the match against Sampdoria, an opponent he usually scores against.

“His quality can help the team, there is no doubt about this. But today we have another great player like Lautaro Martinez and I hope that he can do well.”
