Hakan Chalanoglu spoke exclusively to the microphones of First video. The midfielder spoke about the first leg match between Inter And Barcelona and preparation for the return to the Camp Nou tomorrow.
“They are strong, they have important players. We were mentally ready. When you go out on the pitch you know you have to give it your all. We work as a team on the pitch. Not alone. We worked for each other on Tuesday. With desire, courage, heart. Now we just want to pedal and work“.
“Before the match Onana and Romelu they came up to me and told me to try kicking on goal on the right (…) And I shot very well. Return challenge? They are angry and have fire inside (…) We know it will be difficult but we will give our best. If we work like this on the pitch, 90 minutes until the end, I don’t think other teams have a chance to win against us“.
“Role as a director? I’m not used to this role. But in the national team I always played like that, with another midfielder close to me. Here I was alone. But with Barella and Mkhitaryan they gave me a great hand and we did a great job“.
“I told Romelu to speed up a little. It is normal for a player like him to be missing. He works really well and does his best to get back on the team. One who holds the ball with the strength of him certainly helps“.
