Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni spoke to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia moments after the Nerazzurri defeated Hellas Verona 2-1 in the Serie A at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milano’s San Siro district.

“I came here walking on my tiptoes knowing I had stronger and more experienced people in front of me, I tried to steal secrets from everyone, I’m growing thanks to the coach.”

“I like to set myself with goals and I’m happy to have led to the goal being scored. The fact that he wanted to keep me, gives me a lot of confidence. Every day I train to grow and he praises me even during the week which is always good.”

I wanted to cross the ball, then I saw Valentino out wide and it seemed right to give the ball to him. I’m twenty years old, I have to improve a lot to be considered to be at Inter.”

“I played in this midfield role with Atalanta’s Primavera team, I have to thank them for my development too.”

“If we can finish ahead of Juve? I’m superstitious, I’m quiet because Conte would pull my ears if I’m not. It’s our dream to end Juventus domination.”
