Yann Bisseck spoke to reporters on the sidelines of the joint training session with Aasen, at Inter‘s German training camp. The defender touched on several topics, from personal ambitions to the race for the league title, as well as his role as a leader in the locker room and his hopes for the national team.
On a personal level, Bisseck is clear: “I just want to play, to have the coach’s trust. Then I have to give everything I have on the pitch, show my qualities. I think I’m on the right track, I want to be a starter and be important. There’s still a lot to do but the path is right.”
The German then focused on the team and their ambitions for the season: “I always think we are the strongest, even when we don’t win. There are many important teams, not just Napoli, but we are focused on ourselves. It doesn’t matter what others do. If we show our qualities, we have a great chance to win another Scudetto.”
On the possibility of playing for the national team, Bisseck remains calm: “It’s normal that if you play for such a club you’re usually in the national team… But football can be strange. I want to play and help the team. I’m very calm, I hope to go to the national team.”
In his fourth year with the Nerazzurri, the defender also feels the responsibility of being a role model: “I’m not the new guy anymore, I have to do something for the younger players too. It’s a process to become a leader, and as a defender it’s an important step. I have to be an example for the young players, but you’d have to ask them how I’m doing…”
Finally, a comment about Chivu: “He is just as you see him. Very fired up, even more than the players. But it’s necessary, he gives us a lot of energy. The coach gives you something. He’s doing well, then we’ll see on the pitch because it’s us who go out there.”
