Frattesi: “Inter favourites? A strong team doesn’t always win, look at City and Real”
As the Serie A season progresses, Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi has shared his aspirations and insights about the challenges ahead.
As the Serie A season progresses, Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi has shared his aspirations and insights about the challenges ahead. In a recent interview with La Stampa, he expressed his determination to secure another Scudetto for the Nerazzurri while reflecting on his journey and experiences at the club.
Frattesi’s ambition is clear: “I definitely want to win the Scudetto again to experience a wonderful choreography like the one we had before the Inter-Torino match last April.”
The competition in Serie A has intensified, with several clubs vying for the title. “Last season, it was mainly Juventus and a bit of Milan,” he noted. “Now, Atalanta, Fiorentina, Lazio, and Napoli have joined the fray. It’s a much more open tournament now.”
When discussing Inter’s status as favorites for the title, Frattesi admitted it can be a double-edged sword. “Yes and no,” he said regarding whether it bothers him to hear Inter labeled as the strongest team. “Games are played on the pitch; it’s easy to talk outside. Just because a team has strong players doesn’t mean they always win.” He drew parallels with recent performances from top clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester City, emphasizing that context matters: “Players perform based on their environment. A player out of position can seem poor. It’s during tough times that a group’s strength is revealed.”
Frattesi also touched on his role within the team, especially as he competes for a starting position. “For me, it’s an extra motivation. Everything should be taken positively; otherwise, it becomes overwhelming. The competition helps push me to give my best,” he explained.
Reflecting on the demanding nature of this season, Frattesi remarked, “I’m not complaining; we are fortunate. However, we are pushing it a bit too far.” He expressed concern about how an overloaded schedule could affect the quality of play: “With so many competitions—Super Champions, Supercoppa in Riyadh, and Club World Cup—there’s a risk that the quality of football might decline.”
On a personal note, Frattesi shared his admiration for Kevin De Bruyne, calling him “the best midfielder of the last 20 years.”
