In an interview with Italian news outlet FCInterNews.it, Inter youngster Facundo Colidio has spoken on a range of topics and firstly spoke on his loan spell with Belgian Pro League club Sint-Truiden.
“The first six months were not very positive but since January, everything has changed and I feel much better here now,” he began the interview.
“Why did I choose Sint-Truiden over Newcastle United? It was because Inter and Newcastle United failed to reach an agreement.”
“I came to Sint-Truiden with a great desire to do well but ended up in an unexpected situation but as I said, everything has totally changed since January.”
Colidio then went on to reminisce about his arrival at Inter from Boca Juniors back in the Summer transfer window in 2017.
“I felt enormous joy when I joined Inter. It was a big step for my career to be joining such a big club. The first person I spoke with was sporting director Piero Ausilio.”
He then spoke on how he has found life in Italy and some of the players he has gotten close to during his time with the club.
“I cannot think of anything negative to say about my experience so far in Italy. I am very happy with what I have experienced, I have learned a lot and I am happy about it.
“I bonded well with first team players Mauro Icardi, Lautaro Martinez, Antonio Candreva and Matias Vecino.
“I got on well with all of my youth team teammates. I got on particularly well with Eddie Salcedo and Ryan Nolan because they speak Spanish but I really had a good relationship with all my teammates.”
Next he spoke on if he feels pressured by the price tag which Inter paid for him.
“I am proud that Inter bought me and did so for the amount which they did. It means that they believe in me a lot and this gives me an extra boost to continue working harder and harder.”
He then spoke on how his compatriot Inter vice president Javier Zanetti helped him out and who he prefers between strikers Icardi and Lautaro.
“Javier helped me out especially when it came to adapting. He is a really wonderful person. Who is better between Icardi and Lautaro? They are two totally different players with great qualities and they are showing them.”
He was then asked when he thinks he may get a shot in the Inter first team and the Argentine national team.
“I do not know when I will get to play for the first team but I am working hard to be able to do so. Playing for the national team is another dream of mine. I have to work a lot.”
In conclusion he spoke on Inter’s Romelu Lukaku and shared his desire to play alongside him.
“Romelu is a top footballer and I obviously would like to work with him. I, like any player, would like to play with the best.”
