Hakan's quality is undeniable. He just needed to find the right motivation, to overcome the problems of the summer. Now we are reaping the fruits of his labor. He is a complete midfielder with leadership qualities. We are happy with his and the team's performances.
The players had energy, and a coach has to feel when to step in. I didn't want to break the balance, but when I felt the changes needed to be made, I made them and I was right.
I'm happy for all the players who entered. I know them well, I know that each one of them is valuable. In football, everything is analyzed and acted upon,” said Inter, according to fcinternews.it.
