Inter Milan summer signing Luis Henrique said he is “happy” at the club following his appearance in the side’s 2-1 win over Sassuolo.
The Nerazzurri left San Siro the happier side this evening as Cristian Chivu’s side secured a vital three points.
It was only Inter’s second win of the Serie A campaign, defeats to Udinese and Juventus following an opening game rout of Torino.
Speaking to DAZN after the match, with quotes via FCInterNews, Luis Henrique told the reporter “I’m happy.”
Inter Milan New Boy Luis Henrique Reveals What Chivu Asks Of Him Following Win Vs Sassuolo
DAZN asked the Brazilian what head coach Chivu asks of him in the Inter set-up.
“To seek out one-on-one situations,” he replied, “and cross into the box.”
The former Marseille man played 25 minutes tonight when he came on as a second-half substitute for Denzel Dumfries.
Luis Henrique arrived from the Ligue 1 side in the summer, signing a five-year deal with the Nerazzurri.
Finally, the reporter asked Henrique how he is finding settling into the team.
“The group is very good so I’m happy,” he said.
“We get along well in the locker room and everyone encourages me.”
putting players in a system where they don’t play to their strengths will stifle their progress.
Henrique showed a lot of promise for his Serie A debut! Several times he beat his man, including leaving 3 behind in his own penalty box! Needs to grow in confidence, but we saw dribbling, crosses and shots… looking forward to seeing more!!
Henrique was good in my opinion, but overall, the team was not. It’s clear that we can not control/dominate the game and when we attack, we expose ourselves way too much. It was just Sassuolo, and I am afraid to even think of what would have happened if we faced a stronger opponent. The defense was distracted at times, we clearly lack speed and we’ll be suffering from this throughout the season. In the attack we keep wasting chances and given the fragility of our defense, we always need to score more than 2 goals to secure wins as much as possible
Let’s find out – it is easy to check the stats.

I agree with tou regarding the defence and wasted chances, but strongly disagree on dominating (some) games. Staying and defending with 10 players in 30 meters for 80 minutes is not dominating the game – like Juventus and Udinese. Sure, it can be a good tactic when you face better teams.
He was good in attack but lacks defensive qualities.
i didnt watch the game
how’s he?
and how’s the team overall?
