In an interview with Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, former Juventus and Italy midfielder Claudio Marchisio has shared his views on how Inter have done so far this season.

“The Nerazzurri have given important signals, not only to the League but also themselves. They went several years without stability, but they have it this season and they’re certainly making the campaign more interesting than it was in other seasons.

“Juventus, however, know they must keep winning and know they have a truly great squad. They also know that, this season, there are Inter and Lazio, who are showing they can keep up.”

Marchisio then went on to heap praise upon former manager Antonio Conte who is now in charge of the Nerazzurri.

“He was certainly Inter’s most important signing. He has proved his worth in Italy, abroad and with the Italian national team at a difficult time and he is also proving it at Inter. He is the most important part of Inter.”
