Milan Skriniar has shared his thoughts and feelings following Inter’s recent win over Slavia Prague in the Champions League group stage.
“It was an important performance from us against Slavia Prague and we are happy to have won the game. Now we must continue to put in these perfromances in the league,” he said in an interview with Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia.
“It was not easy for us and we found in ourselves in trouble at times but we managed to score five goals, even if two of those were cancelled out. I am ready to mark Lionel Messi [in the final group stage game against Barcelona] but we have to focus on Serie A now and expected a difficult match on Sunday.”
Next he spoke on Inter’s on-form strikeforce of Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku and manager Antonio Conte.
“At the moment they are the best partnership that I have played with. They do really well together and play for the team. They help us out and are not all about goals.
“Conte has a winning mentality and the team has that same mentality. We never give up and the coach has told us this from day one since he took charge.”
He then spoke on what has changed compared to last year.
“This year we are certainly more united and stronger than the last three years. If we continue like this, we can stay high up in the table.”
He then spoke on how he has coped with having to get used to playing in a three man defence.
“I play both on the right and on the left, I have no problems. At first I had some problems with the three man defence because I had never played in one before but the coach helps us in everything and in my opinion now I understand everything better and I’m growing.”
