Provedel talks about his first days in black and blue: the group and Chivu

Ivan Provedel spoke to the microphones of La Stampa after the friendly match against Milan. The new Inter goalkeeper shared his first impressions in the Nerazzurri shirt, emphasizing his happiness at returning to the field after a long period of absence.

“I am very happy to be here, and if I also get on the field I am even happier, especially after so much time away. I am experiencing only positive emotions,” said the goalkeeper.

About working with Chivu, Provedel explained: “We did a lot, especially in Germany. Here in Perth, with the time zone, it was more difficult but the work is of quality, and in my opinion the coach is satisfied. Even though he obviously demands a lot, because that’s how it should be.”

The goalkeeper then spoke about the impact with the team: “I immediately saw that the group is very close-knit: everyone is looking in the same direction, they put a lot of intensity into every training session and this is dragging me along because it makes me understand why last year Inter won the championship and the Coppa Italia.”

Regarding his fellow goalkeepers, he added: “I already knew Gennaro from the youth national teams, I have just met Pepo and Ferronato and I can say that we have integrated very well, they have been very nice to me.”

Looking ahead to the next match against Juventus, Provedel concluded: “These are preparation matches, but obviously the idea of facing Milan and Juventus makes you put something extra into it in terms of competitiveness.”
