Ziwo: I don t worry about the team s defense line being too old, Inter Milan has to have the mentality of winning every game

August 23rd News The new season of Serie A is about to begin, Inter Milan coach Ziwo accepted an interview with DAZN. Inter Milan participated in the Club World Cup this summer, so you started the pre-season training camp later

We have worked hard for three weeks and participated in four warm-up matches. I've seen some good aspects and some not-good enough, but it's understandable that this happens at this stage of summer. What makes me happy is that we don’t have any serious injuries, because besides the results of the game, it’s also important to care about each player’s playing time and physical condition. We started to see the team trying some new ideas and tactics.

Inter Milan failed to sign Leoni or Derwinter. Your defense may be the oldest in Serie A. I don’t look at the age of the players, I only look at their motivation, enthusiasm, and proving their desires every day. You need to speak with motivation, discipline, and hard work on the court. I think these are more important than the age you mentioned.

Inter Milan is still continuing to introduce new players, and today signed Lens midfielder Andy Diouf

We have reached a consensus on which positions to add to this team, and there is still time to complete certain transactions in the future. We don’t want to just increase the number of players, but increase the quality and introduce players who can improve the overall level of the team.

Last season Inter Milan won three runner-ups in Serie A, Champions League and Italian Super Cup. Will you still compete in multiple lines in the new season?

Inter Milan's goal is to remain competitive in all competitions, whether it is Serie A, Champions League, or the Italian Cup, because I often see people saying that they should give up the Italian Cup. We must remain competitive and do our best to win all 38 rounds of the league. Although this is usually impossible, we must have such a winning mentality.

You have only coached in Parma for a few months, and now being Inter Milan coach is a big challenge for you. This is a great responsibility for me and a great responsibility. I have worked in this club for a long time, have taken other roles, have spent great time together, and have witnessed my growth as a man and a coach. Now is the time for me to give back to this club.
