Legendary former Inter wing-back Andreas Brehme is glad to see Robin Gosens make the switch to his former team from Atalanta.
Speaking to Italian news outlet Footballnews24.it, the German expressed his pleasure at seeing his countryman Gosens in a Nerazzurri shirt and gave the view that he has everything to become a success at the club.
Gosens joins Inter as the first German at the club since Lukas Podolski joined on loan in 2015, and the 27-year-old will hope that he can have more success than the former Arsenal and Bayern Munich man.
The former Atalanta wing-back will look to the success that Brehme and other German players had with the Nerazzurri during the late 1980s, when they won a record-breaking Scudetto during the 1988-89 season.
Gosens has established himself as a regular starter with the German national team, and Brehme is pleased to have seen him make the move.
“It’s fantastic to have another player in the tradition of Germans at Inter,” he said. “Robin Gosens is an excellent player, he knows both Serie A and the San Siro very well thanks to his experience with Atalanta. He could be a great addition to the team.”
Brehme also gave his thoughts on the Nerazzurri’s draw with Napoli over the weekend, stating that “This was certainly a very important point for Inter. I really liked the way the team played against Napoli .”
“When you’ve already won the Scudetto, you’re one of the best teams in Europe and you don’t need to hide,” he added.
“The team who win the league in Italy are usually among the top contenders in the Champions League as well,” he continued.
“Of course it won’t be easy to play against Liverpool,” he added, “but with the knockout rounds starting, we can now say that the competition is really beginning.”
