The thoughts of the Dutchman, Asllani and Stabile after the Nerazzurri's friendly against Egnatia in Ferrara


FERRARA - A 4-2 victory over Egnatia after a slow start. This is what Stefan De Vrij, Kristjan Asllani and Giacomo Stabile had to say to Inter TV following this evening's friendly against the Albanian outfit at the Stadio Paolo Mazza:

“It was a decent performance. We were missing a goal in the first half, but we created numerous chances. These matches help you understand where you can improve. We need to prove that we’re ready and have learnt from last year’s mistakes. All the newcomers have shown that they’re up to the standard of playing for Inter. I’d like to thank the fans because we can really feel their support, which helps us a lot. We’ll give everything for this shirt. ”

Stefan De Vrij

“Egnatia gave us a bit of a hard time, but it was important for us to get minutes in our legs. We did well to get back into it because they started really well. We’re feeling good, and now we’re waiting for Serie A to start. It’s pleasing; we’re a compact and united team. We can’t wait for our first league fixture and want to start off on the right foot.”

Kristjan Asllani

“It was a dream to make my debut last time out, and scoring today is truly incredible. I don’t have the words to describe it. I certainly have a lot to learn, and Bastoni is my role model. I hope I’ll become an important player. Coach Chivu constantly helps me in the Primavera setup, and it’s vital for me to have a coach like him. ”

Giacomo Stabile
