In an interview with Premium Sport, Inter midfielder Matias Vecino spoke about last night’s derby fixture against Milan which the Nerazzurri won thanks to a hattrick from Mauro Icardi.
“To win a derby like this, you do not get many opportunities like this and to score a goal in the final minutes is something that makes the fans go wild. Of course this win was huge for us, both for the way we did it and how we did it. The crowd was awesome and it kind of helped us in getting the win. During the second half we were a bit to passive and let Milan create some chances. There are a lot of playing situations where I can improve, but we faced AC Milam in one of the most prestigious games ever.”
Vecino was asked if this Inter is good enough to fight for the Scudetto, to which he replied: “There are still a lot of games to be played, we still have our objective to get back in the Champions League, for now we just concentrate on winning and getting higher and higher in the standings. This project is just recently started and we have a lot of teams going for the win, teams that have played together for a long time and who are working really well and we want to compete with them.”
In conclusion Vecino was asked about playing as a trequartista: “I do not know where this cam from, I have always played in the middle of the pitch, in the second half I played slightly closer to the wing.”

I enjoyed watching Vecino in the second half when he constantly moved forward with the ball glued to his feet – why not try him out behind Icardi? He has it all to play as an attacking mid, passing abilities, vision, great drive with the ball at his feet and a good long shot plus he tracks back and is good tackler
vecino and borja are changing position all the time in the derby.. and it’s beautiful to watch..^^
They know each other so well and are great together – agree. I was disappointed in Gagliardini though. He was to blame for not stopping Suso when he had all the time to pick his target from just outside our box. That was Gagliardini´s space.
If he doesn’t improve I think we should look around for a more suitable defensive midfielder like Krychowiak for example next summer plus a quality attacking midfielder!
Yes for sure, Gaglio should accelerate his development. FFP case would disappear, if I’m not wrong, on the next summer mercato. At that time, our DS duo would aim five-stars quality player.
On AMC position, I dream of Nabil Fekir. #justsharing
he actually has the ability to play as CAM. just need to be more decisive
here we go again… scudetto hype by the media all over again.. scudetto is not our target for God sake!!! but we don’t mind to win it though.. we just don’t want to think about it until, maybe april if we manage to stay at top 2. now just focus to win every game..
Typical Italian; when you win you´re the shit when you lose you ARE SHIT! 😉
agree..^^
