PINZOLO – He got promoted to the first team last season but then his campaign was cut short by a shoulder injury. Now Ibrahima Mbaye can't wait to get going again, this time under Walter Mazzarri. And that's exactly what he told Inter Channel this afternoon.
Ibrahima Mbaye, a new season is starting. How determined are you to get involved with the first team again?
"Mega determined! Unfortunately last year didn't end too well but this year I'm raring to go and hopefully I'll be able to do well."
How are you finding these first days of intensive training?
"It's pretty strenuous stuff but we're doing our best to stick it out."
Did you manage to relax a bit during the break?
"Yes, I went home to Senegal. It was brilliant. I hadn't been back there for four years - that's not going to happen again, I want to go home more often. The kids in Senegal see me as a role model and that inspires me to work even harder and even better."
What's your impression of Walter Mazzarri? He's very attentive, especially with you youngsters.
"He works hard and is scrupulous about everything. I'm enjoying it. I'm learning a lot and running a lot!"
