Luis Henrique has delivered a focused and determined message ahead of Sunday’s Milan derby, insisting Inter must be ruthless in pursuit of a victory that could prove decisive in the Scudetto race, while also welcoming the return of Denzel Dumfries with characteristic generosity.

Speaking to DAZN in the build-up to kick-off, via FCInterNews, the Brazilian wing-back was asked whether Inter’s ten-point cushion would affect the side’s hunger to win. His answer left no room for doubt.

“Of course. We want and must win, it is too important a match for us and for them. We must be more ruthless and take the victory.”

Milan Vs Inter – Luis Henrique Ready For Estupinan Battle

On his individual battle with Estupinan down the left flank, Luis Henrique was pragmatic.

“True, but I have worked to help Inter and today I must work hard physically. I am ready.”

Perhaps the most telling moment came when he was asked about Dumfries‘ return and the competition it creates.

Rather than any trace of concern, the response was warm and team-first.

“Yes, he is a very important player and I am happy he is back. He helps Inter, I expect him to play well and do what is important for us to help us win.”
