Dimarco: "Ready to put on a show against a strong opponent"

Inter Milan return to San Siro for another European night. On Tuesday 26 November at 21:00 CEST (20:00 local time), the nerazzurri face RB Leipzig on Matchday Five of the League Phase of the UEFA Champions League. On the eve of the clash, Federico Dimarco, spoke to journalists in a press conference.

There's a great chance for Inter Milan to proceed to the next round. You have to, however, beat RB Leipzig first: what sort of game are you expecting? 

"Yes, we will have to put in a good performance against a strong opponent, we have to try and win in front of our fans and bring home the three points".

What incentives are there ahead of tomorrow's game? 

"The Champions League is great because it has a lot of incentives within itself, we have faced top-level opponents and have already gained ten points, tomorrow we're going to push for another win".

Compared to the extraordinary season last year, where would you say Inter Milan are at the moment? 

"Last year was incredible, but we have to leave it in the past. This season we've started well, we're not far off the top of the league and are placed well in the Champions League. 

There haven't been any physical dips because we've played a lot of games, we have to keep working to be able to reap the rewards". 

In Serie A, the statistics say that you are one of the players who has created the most chances: what do you think you can still improve on? 

"All of the chances I create are a product of the work of the team, I always try to give the attackers chances to score. All of this, however, comes solely from the work of the team, staff and Head Coach".

If you start tomorrow evening, it will be your first start this year in the Champions League. Have you accepted the logic of the turnover without any problems? 

"There's no need to talk about turnover because we are a really strong team, who play to give everything for this shirt, just like you'll see tomorrow".

You are unbeaten in the Champions League and RB Leipzig need points: are there any risks when it comes to the game tomorrow? 

"They're third in the Bundesliga and haven't conceded many goals in the league, they have a lot of strengths with high quality players, but as always we have to play our game".

Do you think that Inter Milan are stronger compared to last year and can you aim for the league and the Champions League? 

"In the Champions League, there are lot of strong sides this year and the standings show this. We are strong and we have to treat all of the competitions in the same way".

Correa's brilliant display against Verona shows that the group leaves nobody behind and has a good level of understanding: how do you manage to do this? 

"Tucu played really well and we are all really happy about this. The locker room is a good place, strong and we enjoy everyday, I think you can see this on the pitch"

How do you change your playing style for the National Team and for Inter Milan? 

"It changes according the Head Coach's requests, I always try to give my all for both teams".
