APPIANO GENTILE - Juan Jesus spoke to Sky Sport 24 a few
days ahead of the Sampdoria game. He discussed Inter's form coming into
the match, following their draw at Bologna: "We tried everything, we put
in a great performance because we were focused, but the ball just
didn't want to go in. We need to keep going like this because we're
doing well and now we need to think about Sampdoria. What did I think
when I hit the crossbar? I was gutted because I struck it well, plus
Sorensen got a hand to it. I think I'd have started crying had I scored
there, but sadly we drew."
The team is only two points behind
Napoli, but there's another reason for the Brazilian defender's
confidence: "I trust my team, we're all doing our jobs, each and every
one of us. We need to take things one match at a time and see where we
are come the end. I'm not going to talk about our game at the San Paolo
now because first we've got Sampdoria, then there's Parma. The Napoli
match is still some way off. Would I take third place if you offered it
to me today? I'd take top spot, because Inter deserve to always be in
first place."
How is he finding life under Walter Mazzarri? "He's
an intelligent coach, he understands Italian football well, he also
looks at us as individuals and speaks to each of us. He's a great coach
and he will be for a long time to come. He's doing well because he's
helping the team and the team will help him."
Finally Juan gave
his first impressions on new president Erick Thohir: "He was able to
show he's a humble man, very calm, and he greeted all of us. I hope he
can write some important chapters in this club's history just as
president Massimo Moratti did, and his father before him. I'm told he
praised my performance in the friendly [against Chiasso], but I always
play the same way and I do it above all for the team."
