Inter – Juventus 3-2. Polish Piotr Zielinski (31 years old) was the unexpected hero of Cristi Chivu (45 years old). He scored the winning goal in the 90th minute, and in the end he fully enjoyed the first success against a colossus this season for his team.
He praised the “Old Lady” and explained that Inter lost their concentration several times during the game, an aspect they need to improve.
Zielinski he believes that his achievement was the most important of this season so far, taking into account the moment in which it came, as well as the opponent.
Piotr Zielinski: “We must avoid these situations”
“It's definitely the most important goal, but the whole team worked for it. Let's enjoy this success because it's a big thing.
(What mental snap was required, especially after the 2-2 goal?) We must avoid these situations. We have to improve in some ways, we lacked concentration after Pio's goal. We should have managed the moment better, we lacked concentration, but we won and that was the most important thing.
We wanted to win, Juve is a very big team, but also in the other matches we showed that we are strong. Let's be happy, because we beat a big Juve team”, explained Piotr Zielinski, according to fcinternews.it.

The Pole has donned the Inter shirt 32 times this season, scoring 6 times and providing 2 assists. He is quoted by the specialized website Transfermarkt at 10 million euros.
Zielinski started as a substitute in Chivu's tenure as well, with the midfielder coming back from injury at the end of last season. But, from October, he started to get more and more minutes and became a starter, at this moment being a basic man for the Romanian coach.
