One of the protagonists of this winning season for Inter, Piotr Zielinski, spoke to the microphones of Sport Mediaset. The Nerazzurri midfielder shared his emotions about the two trophies won and also talked about his future.

You’re finally enjoying Inter and its victories. Can you tell me what you carry inside after these two trophies won with the Nerazzurri?

“Definitely a lot of satisfaction because we had an extraordinary year, we are very happy. Obviously, in the Champions League we could have done more, but we will give everything next season to be even more competitive.”

Speaking of which, you have a contract with Inter. When you win, you have to raise the bar, is doing better in the Champions League an obligation for you?

“Yes, of course. That will definitely be one of the objectives. To do better in the Champions League and try to go as far as possible. I want to give even more and I think we all have to raise the bar and try to achieve better results than this season.”

Do you agree that your goal against Juventus was a key moment of the season that changed Inter’s prospects?

“That match was important like the others, but we knew that winning the Derby d’Italia would send a strong signal to the league. Then there were the two matches after the break against Roma and Como in which you could say we closed the accounts because we got six points and the teams chasing us were hoping for a misstep.”

Besides the space that Chivu has given to the players compared to the past, what differences have you found with the arrival of this coach?

“Since Mister Chivu arrived, he told us to leave behind the disappointments of last year. The season started with a new spirit. He is a fantastic person as well as a great coach. He showed everything right away, even in training, he is a coach of the highest level and we are happy to have won two cups with him because he deserves them. Chivu is truly an exceptional person.”

Do you like playing as a playmaker? In Calha’s absence, you filled that role even though it’s not really yours.

“Yes, it’s not my role but this season I adapted well. My natural position is obviously left central midfielder, but when our playmaker, Calha, wasn’t there, I was ready and played some good matches so definitely in the future, when there is an opportunity, I will do well again.”

Is there a difference between this Scudetto and the one won with Napoli?

“With Napoli we won the Scudetto after 33 years, so there was a very long wait. But both were special for me. Winning is always wonderful and I hope to feel the same emotions next year too.”

From the Duomo, to the open-top bus, to the San Siro party, someone said there was a difference compared to Napoli. Do you think there was?

“Well, no… it was a beautiful party, we had fun. Both here and in Naples we celebrated well.”

Who was the wildest?

“Everyone. We had a wonderful season so everyone let themselves go.”

How do you take Thuram’s teasing?

“I take it with a smile. Tikus is number 1. It’s a beautiful thing, we also saw a lot of banners at the party, people stop me and say ‘Bro, but are you Polish’. Very funny.”

This is your strength, the group, right?

“Yes, it’s a fantastic group and you can see it on and off the pitch. They are exceptional guys and spending time with them is fun.”

Are you thinking of extending your relationship with Inter?

“There are still two years left so I’m calm. I’m 32 so I can still play at the top level for another 4-5 years. Now I’m enjoying this season and next year I want to give even more.”
