Piotr Zielinski has warned his Inter Milan teammates not to take Cremonese lightly ahead of this evening’s Serie A meeting.

Speaking to Inter TV on the eve of the 18:00 CET kick-off, the Polish midfielder made it clear that focus will be essential.

“You can’t underestimate anyone,” he said, with quotes via FCInterNews.

“Cremonese have shown this season that they belong at this level. We have to step onto the pitch concentrated, determined and with a real desire to win.”

Zielinski also underlined the importance of securing all three points.

“Winning is fundamental, like in every match. We must play our game and be the best version of ourselves.”

The midfielder then offered an update on his own condition.

“I feel good and I’m happy. Thank God I have no physical problems and I always try to improve.”

Inter know that matches like this can prove tricky if approached with the wrong mindset, and Zielinski’s message reflects the dressing room’s awareness of the challenge that Cremonese will pose.

With a win today, Inter can go eight points clear of second-placed Milan, who play Bologna on Tuesday.

After Napoli’s win over Fiorentina yesterday, it is important that the Nerazzurri focus on the objective in hand and do themselves a favour by picking up the three points.

Zielinski has had somewhat of a resurgent season.

He did not initially convince in the first season after his free transfer from Napoli.

However, under Cristian Chivu, the Pole has been a man reborn and has put in some stellar performances in Inter’s midfield.
