Mateo Kovacic is currently out with the Croatian National team and took some time spoke about his club, Inter. He said: “I think we will do better than last season because some important reinforcements have arrived in the summer. My acclimatization in Italy has ended and the early goal helped me. Now I hope to get as far as possible with Inter. I want to win. Barcelona? The project at this club is good for me and I never heard from Barca.”

kovacic needs to show that he’s the future of inter,till now he hasn’t show anything.i don’t know what you guys see in him.He had a horrible wc.If he start to play well i’ll be the first to apologize.
Well, even though it’s “only” against starjnan, he scored his first goal and also hattrick for Inter and everyone hope it’s a good sign.
Let’s hope it’s the first hattrick of many to come.
What this kid and our other youth is a coach who understands and appreciate them. Strama spent most of his coaching career with the youth and he got Kovacic after the sale of Coutinho, Simeone is another coach who would make world class players out of youth, Mazzarri is not, his type are Behrami, Kuzmanovic, Jonathan and the rest of the shitty group.
Simeone nurturing young player ? have you seen Atleti starting eleven last year ? Gabi, Mario, Villa, Miranda, Filipe Luiz, Juanfran, Arda. They practically only have 2 young player on the starting eleven, Koke and Thibaut. I know he’s a great coach, but where do you get that impression (nurturing young player) From Simeone ?
Due to his young age and his style and motivation, young players will develop to world stars, the same thing goes for Branden Rodgers the manager of Liverpool, they have an eye for young talent but Mazzarri only takes Napoli players or mediocre players such as the ones mentioned above
You’re making an blatant assumption. fact is he use lots of experienced player, he prefer experienced player. His current starting consisted only a few player younger than 25. Only Griezman & Koke is can be considered young. When he lose Diego Costa, he doesn’t change with young player but with Mandzukic (28). Villa replaced by Cerci (27). they bought Jan Oblak as a goalkeeper but put Moya (30) in the starting. There’s a coach who’s great with young player like Jurgen Klopp, Brendan, Arsene Wenger, etc. Simeone is more like Mourinho i guess.
Everybody is freaking blinded by Simeone’s success at Atletico. He is a wining coach but he plays a horrible soccer. I can imagine him getting trashed by the press in Italy by his behaviour, just like they did to Mourinho. Atletico of Madrid has been wining titles and developing good players (especially strikers) for quite some time. So, this is not some kind of Simeone’s miracle that he can replicate wherever he goes. Plus, their most promissing player Oliver (very talented young player) was sent to one year loan to Porto. So, I don’t think that tells a lot about his quality for developing young players.
Would you rather have a horrible coach that plays slow counter attacks and wants to win or Mazzarri that plays defensively every game and gets you a heart attack every time you watch a match for Inter.
Whatever it takes, please hold on to him.
He’s an incredible talent. Bigger clubs are just starting to notice him. I want him to be the next Zanetti, but if we don’t progress eventually a huge offer will come and we’ll lose him. That’s modern football.
Kovacic hasn’t been able to build up the play by himself only.
he still need someone who can help him build up the play.
he played great when he had someone who can linked up nicely such as Osvaldo when against stjarnan.
but when against torino, Kovacic didn’t do much because Icardi don’t have dynamism like Osvaldo.
Icardi can’t pass the ball, his touch was heavy most of the time, he can’t open up space, he can’t hold up the ball, he only good when he got served.
Kovacic need plays with someone who has dynamism.
Agree. He is surely a great talent, but still not a decisive or key player of Inter like sneijder yet.
He’s alone against torino? LoL so what do you think Hernanes supposed to do? Both of them considered as creative players yet it’s not enough since there’s not enough support behind them and only failed wingers. Icardi are a pure finisher while Osvaldo more flexible, why bother to compare? There’s Hernanes – Kovacic there to serve him so nothing wrong with him, does Hernanes not a dynamic player? LoL. Another thing is strajnan and torino are on different levels to compare too. Then do you think if Osvaldo played as starters the story will be different? Nope. Beside the fact that Osvaldo isn’t fit, the whole formation are not working since no good enough supplies to the 3 man upfront. I’m just highlighting your statement saying Kovacic will do better if he played with Osvaldo against torino which is wrong. Indeed Kovacic are not on the same level as Pirlo yet, but then again, him not playing with a dynamic player is not the reason Inter didn’t won against torino LoL.
well, I’m not discussing “WHY WE DIDN’T WIN” against torino.
I highlighted what’s better for Kovacic from what I saw so far.
and that’s why I don’t mentioned Hernanes as well, coz Hernanes hasn’t found his form again. he’s not good against stjarnan, and also not good against torino, and he also not good for pre-season match previously. so what’s the point mentioning him anyway?
if I’m discussing “WHY WE DIDN’T WIN”, hell there’s much problems than just Icardi’s lack of dynamism, Hernanes poor performances, and Kovacic. the wing players didn’t performs as it should be, Dodo especially. Medel and M’Vila also didn’t do much on attacking movement.
but again, I’m not discussing “WHY WE DIDN’T WIN” against torino, LOL.
Nah, you’re just correcting your comments above. Because there’s only starjnan and torino you mention, and yup comparing players performance just by those two teams aren’t fair because it’s obvious when you face a newbie a.k.a starjanan while you were a normal player that makes you pro, even Kuz became godlike there. But if you face an opponent only a bit lower level than you like torino you won’t be as pro as you face the newbie since your level aren’t that far.
And, in case you didn’t got the clue i was trying to tell you before, here i say it again, it doesn’t matter if you have messi and friends in your team, if you can’t utilize them, it’s useless. Now hopefully you got it this time what i’m trying to say and who i referred to.. Too obvious i think though LoL
well, you can say and think whatever you wanna regarding my statement.
but I also have my own reasons for my statement, and I already said it.
you know that Zanetti, Moratti, Trappattoni, Zamorano have all said that Kovacic is the biggest young talent to play for Inter apart from Ronaldo
actually balloteli receive the same impression when he was with us. but well, he have a lot of issues
This kid will be a king in teams like Barca, Liverpool, Arsenal, Dortmund, teams that plays offensiv football. I dont think he will develop fully at Inter, Mazzarris 3-5-2 is not good for Kova, he fits best in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 , I hope Mazzari does well but I JUST CANT see it happend, and it irretates me a lot!!!!
I can see inter future with this kid
I really have a big hope that he is the new Zanetti.
well, if a big offer arrives, say 40mil we should seriously consider our options imo.
@Jair, say what??!!!
ofcourse you have the right to disagree. but how good do you think this kid is going to be? how much has he progressed since he got here. lets just wait and see how he does this season.
he is a huge talent mate, sky is the limit, everyone in Croatia says he is going to be better than Boban and Modric
and then you’re gonna replace him with who ?
if you just said 100 mil and gonna replace him with isco maybe I could agree
Sadly Inter are now too poor to reject any offer over 30 mil. So I hope he doesn’t improve too much!
jawad, go home, you are drunk.
