Keita: "I hope to leave my mark"

APPIANO GENTILE - The match against Parma will be a special one for KeitaBalde who scored his first goal in Serie A against the Gialloblu. "I still remember it well, it was Parma against Lazio, I went round Mirante and scored. I hope to do it again on Saturday but I’m most interested in winning regardless of who scores. We need to look to get the three points all together."

The Nerazzurri’s number eleven then discussed his role on the pitch. "Winger is my natural position considering my characteristics but I’ve also played as a centre-forward and support striker in my career, so my role on the pitch isn’t a problem. The Coach decides and I’m flexible. I settled in well right from the start with this group, it’s a pleasure to be here because there are lots of really great guys here. There are lots of new players, we need to find the right chemistry but we’re a very strong side. Inter are a club you aim to arrive at. Now, I want to leave my mark, I hope that the fans will remember my name."

Finally, there was a comment on the imminent start of the Champions League. "It’s a unique competition," Keita added. "It allows you to measure up against the best teams in Europe. I experienced it at Monaco and some spectacular match-ups are waiting for us."
