De Vrij on the Haaland nightmare: “HERE is how to stop him”

First season as a starter for Stefan De Vrij, who commented on Inter’s performance against Monza on DAZN, also focusing on the Champions League match against Manchester City and the threat posed by Erling Haaland.

Here are his words:

MATCH PREPARATION – “Games are prepared one at a time. We prepared well for this not easy match and now we will prepare for Manchester City.”

GOAL ERROR – “On the goal, we could have applied a bit more pressure to prevent the cross. We knew they were looking for it because they have strong header players, like Djuric and Dany Mota, who jumped well.”

HAALAND – “Haaland? It’s about the whole team. We need to limit him, but also the whole team. City is not just him. We know him, he’s in great shape and has already scored a lot, we will try to defend him as much as possible as a team.”

DERBY – “Alarm for the derby? No. We need to move forward and learn from today’s mistakes. Maybe we were a bit slow and they closed down well. Then it’s not easy to find spaces, but we could have been faster and clearer in the final pass. We started well, but we didn’t find the goal, which would have made everything easier.”
