Inter centre back Alessandro Bastoni has insisted that Inter cannot afford to underestimate tonight’s opponents Brescia just because they are sitting in the Serie A relegation zone.
“We will have to be careful, in the first match with them they put us in difficulty and they have also put teams like Juve in difficulty too. We must not look at the league table,” he remarked in an interview with Inter’s official broadcaster Inter TV a short time ago.
He then spoke on Inter’s style of play and the fact defenders often find themselves among the goals: “With this style of play we are all inclined to attack, everyone is needed. We defend and attack as a team.”
He concluded the interview with Inter TV by sharing his hope to win the match: “We hope to do what we did in Parma.”
In an interview with sports broadcaster DAZN moments later, Bastoni added: “The main pitfall is that Brescia is last in the standings, but we must think that they are a Serie A team like all the others, it will take a lot of focus. Both Donnarumma and Torregrossa are very strong attackers, we will have to be careful.”
Bastoni is in the starting line-up for tonight’s encounter with La Rondindelle at San Siro and will be making his 22nd appearance across all competitions to date this term, in which he has had his first team breakthrough.
During his time on the park so far, which totals just over 1600 minutes, the Italian youth national team player has scored two goals, the most recent of which came this past weekend in the 2-1 win over Parma.
