Alessandro Bastoni, message of love to Inter.
The words of Alessandro Bastoni
Alessandro Bastoni, an Inter defender, gave a long interview to 'Il Giornale' in which he commented on winning the Scudetto with the Nerazzurri: "Winning with Inter è the most beautiful thing. It represents so much. We have made many sacrifices in these years, we have also suffered many disappointments. Però now I look into the face of the team, the staff and feel that è my family, my second family. I would throw myself into the fire for this family: I would throw myself into the fire".
The title è came right in the derby against Milan: "A great satisfaction. We wanted it, the club wanted it, and above all, the fans wanted it. The fans of’Inter are extraordinary. They have always stood by us. And we knew very well what it means to win a derby. We won the sixth in a row, an incredible thing. A page that will remain forever in the history of’Inter".
The Azzurri central does not forget, però the predictions about the Nerazzurri at the beginning of the championship: "Sì, 12 comrades had left and we were afraid that we had weakened. Becauseé we did not know who would arrive. And instead the new ones, besides being very talented, had a great desire to do, to fit into the team. Of the talent we were sure. Of the human aspect you don’t know. Well, I can tell you now that they are really great guys, both on and off the field. All of them. It è created an incredible harmony between old and new".
Great credit for the success also goes to coach Simone Inzaghi: "The other morning we spent an hour under the downpour to try out the inactive balls. Here, this è a bit’ the mother scene of our league. Preparing every detail, studying it, rehearsing it. Never take anything for granted. We managed to learn so much from the mistakes we had made in past years. Not repeating those mistakes è was our strength".
