Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella is hoping that he is able to get on the scoresheet to help his team soon this season.

Speaking to InterTV ahead of this evening’s Serie A match against Frosinone, via FCInterNews, the 26-year-old gave his thoughts on his lack of a goal this campaign.

Prior to the start of this season, Barella had grown into more and more of a goalscoring threat for Inter.

Last season was the Italian international’s most prolific in a Nerazzurri shirt.

He found the back of the net six times in Serie A, and nine in all competitions.

This time around, Barella has not quite managed to build on what he did last season in front of goal.

The 26-year-old has yet to score in either Serie A or the Champions League.

This is not necessarily a problem when teammates like Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram are in the form that they’re in in front of goal.

Meanwhile, other Inter players have also chipped in. Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federico Dimarco, and Denzel Dumfries, for example, have scored key goals.

But it certainly wouldn’t hurt Inter if Barella were to find his shooting boots.

Inter Midfielder Barella Hopes That He Can Get Back To Scoring Goals

Of his feeling of responsibility to this team, Barella said that “I’ve always felt it.”

“Even when I was younger,” he noted.

“You don’t need to be a veteran to feel it.”

“I hope that I can break my scoring duck soon,” Barella added. “So I can give even more help to this team.”

Of what he expects from this evening’s match against Frosinone, the midfielder said that “Frosinone have made a great start to the season.”

“They’ve shown that they deserve our respect, and everyone’s. So we’ll have to go out onto the pitch with total focus on winning.”

Of the significance of the packed San Siro, Barella said that “It’s incredible for us to play in front of this crowd in this stadium, always urging us to do better.”

“But at the same time, we have to expect that it can be a double-edged swords facing small teams here.”

“It can instill fear in them,” he noted. “But it can also give them an extra charge.”

“Let’s hope that this evening, the stadium strikes fear into them,” Barella said.
