Inter is now close to winning the Scudetto and its second star, among the protagonists in the Nerazzurri there is certainly Alessandro Bastoni who spoke to the Gazzetta dello Sport precisely of this moment of waiting on the part of the team and the fans: “Is the wait for the championship itself a pleasure? Oh no, once the pleasure has been achieved, it will be nice to be able to enjoy it, so let’s wait”, he begins. But then he is keen to clarify the difference between this not yet arithmetic victory and the one obtained in 2021: “With Conte we were already expected from the beginning of the year. Not this time: I don’t remember an insider putting Inter ahead from the start. And let’s be clear: we didn’t even know which men, beyond the footballers, would join the group. And so the scudetto would be a nice revenge for us who integrated the new ones. Well, it would be a success for the Inter group.”

“Scudetto in the derby? Nice to beat Milan regardless”
A championship that could arithmetically arrive in the derby against Milan: “It’s nice to win the derby regardless of everything, that this could decide the championship is a coincidence. We want the match for ourselves, for the fans, for everything. Five victories in a row against Milan are not enough for me, even if it were 50 or 100. I would say the same for any other opponent.” On the possibility of reaching 100 points: “The idea tickles us, but our priority is to get the second star, 100 points are not an obsession and it certainly wouldn’t be a failure not to get there “.

“Champions regret. European? We can win”
On the Champions League elimination against Atletico: “It’s a regret to see the fourth between them and Borussia, but if we didn’t pass it means we made a mistake something, it’s one more reason to try again next year. The mistake was immediately conceding the 1-1 draw in Madrid after going ahead. But it’s football. My dream? It’s really the Champions League, it’s left here for me. But also the Club World Cup, which will be a fascinating competition to play.” Finally the national chapter: “Spalletti brought a strong mentality from his season with Napoli. Different ideas on the pitch compared to Mancini. And new enthusiasm: he made clear his attachment to the blue shirt, which almost seemed to have been lost. What if we can win? Yes, we believe it. We weren’t favorites in 2021 either.”
