On the pages of La Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, an interview was featured with a great former player of Inter, Walter Samuel. The Argentine defender is one of the heroes of the 2010 Triplete with José Mourinho as the coach, and he is still a idol for many fans of Internazionale.
Samuel in this interview spoke about the defense of today’s Inter team, who at the beginning of the season worried many fans due to the many goals they were conceding to opponents. However, he is not worried: The team just needed to get in order after the championship victory. The value of the players, and especially the individuals, doesn’t change in a few months. I’m not saying it was normal to concede so many goals, I’m just saying it could be expected. Individually, Inter then grew a lot.
The former defender of Inter then praises the defenders of today: I do not see myself much in today’s defenders because the profession has changed. What the three central defenders of Inter do is much more difficult than what we used to do: they propose, they create opportunities. In a certain sense, they are better, more complete. Think about what Bastoni is able to do with the ball, I could never have done that.De Vrij? Experience comes after 30 years, he has the experience to help the team and be a reference point.
