PINZOLO – He has recovered from the fatigue of the past few days. "Now my legs are moving again," he said. And they are...as well as ever, as are his thoughts. Dejan Stankovic talks about everything in the interview conducted by Massimiliano Nebuloni live on Sky Sports Italia 24. "The sensations I have now are the same ones I have every year in every pre-season camp. I've felt at home at Inter for quite a few years now and I'm used to it. The work is hard and we all want to play well." He also spoke of the change in formation that Gian Piero Gasperini has introduced. 'Drago' smiled: "The formations are generally used by the press and television when they talk about football. On the pitch the spaces you attack or defend are always the same. Gasperini is attentive to detail, he explains things and talks a lot to those of us who have experience. We are getting to know each other and now, for him too, it's important to pump fuel into legs."
The fans greeted Stankovic with great affection like an old friend. "We want to do well this season even if we shouldn't forget that last season we won three trophies. The we had a really bad week, losing in the derby and the Champions League, after putting in a great effort to recuperate the points we had lost in the league. There's no point trying to analyse what went wrong in those seven days. Let's just turn the page, start all over again and build a new future. It will be a difficult season. All the teams are reinforcing their squads, not just us and the other big names: it'll be a tough battle and we have to prepare well for it."
Talking about the transfer market, the main point of interest was Wesley Sneijder. Dejan caught the interviewer off-balance when he replied: "Massimiliano, l bet you a pizza, a beer and a coffee that Wesley won't leave." He threw down the challenge and then praised Ricardo Alvarez: "I honestly didn't know who he was, but these days he has really shown what he can do and he'll be a great help to us this season."
Finally came the topic that was just worth one point: "I read that the Scudetto 2006 story is over and done with. ok. That's enough. It's good news for Inter, the past is of no interest to us. These are matters for presidents and directors and are over the heads of us footballers."
