Perisic: “If we play like that, we shouldn’t fear anyone”

MILANO - Ivan Perisic put in yet another brilliant display on Saturday as his side stormed to victory against Hellas Verona. The Nerazzurri put two past Igor Tudor’s team in the first half of the game at San Siro and Perisic was instrumental in both of them. Here’s what he had to say to DAZN and Inter TV at the final whistle.

“February and March were difficult months for us in terms of results, but it’s not over. We’ve won two games on the trot. We must now move ahead and play, fight and run as we did today. If we play like that, we shouldn’t fear anyone.”

Perisic’s performance was characterised by his usual energy and desire to win. He started the game on the wing but moved into attack for the latter part of the match. “I’ve played in almost every position during my career. It doesn’t matter to me where I play; the important thing is playing and ultimately winning. It’s up to the coach to decide where I must go. I can be in defence; I have no problem with that. I certainly enjoy running and I have done ever since I was a kid. The most important thing is to give everything.”

The number 14 finished the interview by reflecting on the significance of the crowd, as 61,325 supporters filled San Siro for the first time in two years during the match. “Today saw the return of the fans. We’ve been without them for two years, so things will be easier now.”
