Inter Milan wingback Federico Dimarco admits that he has not been in the best of form for some time.
The wingback spoke to InterTV, via FCInterNews, after this evening’s 1-1 Serie A draw against Napoli.
It was something of an evening of mixed emotions for Inter Milan wingback Federico Dimarco.
In the first half of today’s top-of-the-table Serie A clash with Napoli, the 27-year-old scored the opener. He did so with a spectacular free kick.
However, in the second half, Dimarco had to come off with an injury.
The Italian international only made it a few minutes into the half. He went down holding his right thigh, with initial reports indicating that the problem was a contracture to the thigh flexor muscle.
Federico Dimarco Admits: ‘It’s Been A While Since I’ve Been At My Best”
After the match, Federico Dimarco made clear that “We knew we were up against a strong team in Napoli.”
“We have to congratulate the team, who played with character and the desire to bring the result home.”
“It’s a shame about the late goal,” Dimarco continued. “But it’s a point we’re keeping close to us.”
“You can’t fault the team for anything in terms of character and charisma,” Dimarco continued.
“We were up against a different opponent.”
The Inter wingback noted that Napoli “created a lot, and we didn’t create quite as much.”
“But I think it’s a big points for us,” he made clear.
Meanwhile, Dimarco gave his thoughts on his free kick goal in the first half.
“It’s been a long time since I scored like that,” the Italian international said. “I would have liked to have celebrated it with a win, but it’s ok anyway.”
“We haven’t trained much on free kicks lately. Let’s just say it was a good goal.”
Dimarco said that “It makes me really happy to hear the compliments.”
“But at this level, it’s never easy to always play at a high level.”
“This has been a period where I honestly haven’t been playing at my best,” Dimarco admitted. “But that can happen during a season.”
“I’ve tried to stay quiet and just work. And today the goal arrived.”
Hate these plastic fans! the real people u need to be fighting with is the management. bare, di Marco and even basto have dropped performances since the start of 2025. they have made us so used to their high standards that even a slight bimp makes it appear like a disaster. it is not humanly possible to play 100% with concentration every 3 days. with the oldest team in serie a, and without ‘real’ reinforcements for the last 3 years! we are outperforming, and are still competitive. take the win! and hope at least this year we get some quality youngsters that can take us to the next level.
Every-time Bisseck opens his mouth saying “Inter is a better club, we will win everything” inter ends up losing or drawing, That player will never be great unless he starts to get humbled. He needs a tough talk to set him straight.
Focus on becoming a complete player and obtaining top form. Being an injury prone player is not good enough again at Inter. Dimarco can’t run three games straight without becoming injured. He hardly even complete a full 90 minutes each game he plays. His form is always in question so there must comes a time the club will ask if they need a new wingback. Dimarco is only good enough to be a backup according to his form.
