Edin Dzeko weighed in on his early Inter days from the Bosnia camp: “I was particularly excited before my debut, and the goal came as a reward. Everybody inside the Nerazzurri knows what they can expect from me. I will try to do my best on the pitch.” The presser was transcribed by FCInterNews.
“I have great respect for Simone Inzaghi and his football philosophy, which is extremely offensive-minded. I will have plenty of chances. Inter know why they chose me, and I am aware of what I have to do to improve my game and the team play. We are compact, and I think we will get better because we need to spend some time together to jell.”
Dzeko dished on the title race: “We are the defending champions, and that is a hard challenge. Serie A is very balanced, and teams are always close at the top. Juventus were untouchable for a few years, but things have changed now. Inter are on the right pathway to inherit the throne. However, it will be difficult because few sides have big ambitions. The result of one single game could represent a decisive turnaround. It will be a hard-fought battle, and I hope we can emerge victorious.”
The striker did not dwell on his Roma exit: “I wish them good luck. I will support the Giallorossi when we are not facing them. Age does not matter, just how you perform does. I feel good, and I do not pay attention to the noise. I have always answered on the pitch.”
