RECOBA: "THEY SAID I COULDN'T PLAY ON THE WING. I FEEL I HAVE PROVED THE OPPOSITE."

MILAN – Here's the text of an interview given by Nerazzurri striker Alvaro Recoba to Italian television network Mediaset (1):

Are you satisfied with the president's compliments about your current form?
Satisfied? Yes, of course. I just do my duty. They said I couldn't play on the wing and I feel I have proved the opposite. I just want to play and the coach will decide in which position.

Moratti said Giggs wasn't required because the Nerazzurri have Recoba for that position...
A lot of names are always linked to Inter. A new name is mentioned every day, so you just have to get used to it.

You said that after six years at Inter you were still considered the baby of the group. Is this still the case?
I don't think so. I've tried to win my place in the team without showing disrespect for anyone. I've worked hard in order to play and it's good that I'm spoken about when I'm not in the team. In previous years I didn't play and no-one said anything. They only noticed when I came onto the pitch.
