In the first round of the Champions League, Inter Milan defeated Ajax 2-0 away, and Inter Milan defender Dumfries was interviewed after the game.

Previously, Inter Milan lost 1-2 to Udinese and 3-4 to Juventus in Serie A, and suffered two consecutive losses. Now you have finally returned to the road to victory

After two losses in the first three rounds of the Serie A, we got a good start in the Champions League, which is very important. We played a great game, especially in the second half, the real Inter was back. I am proud of the team and proud of us being able to redeem ourselves.

Inter Milan captain Lautaro was absent in this game, but F-Esposito and Toulam Jr. cooperated well on the front line, and another striker who came on the bench in this game, Boni, also performed well

We also had many excellent substitutes last season. Now F-Esposito and Boni are also excellent players, they are strong and very threatening in the penalty area. Inter Milan has many outstanding players, and this healthy team competition is beneficial to everyone. I'm glad that the players who came on the bench performed well, which proves that every player in our team can play well, and we have 25 strong players in our team.

After Inter Milan's new coach Ziwo took office, what are the new requirements for the team's tactics? Coach

hopes to play more directly because he wants to advance to the opponent's penalty area as soon as possible. He has great tactical ideas and ideas and we are working hard to adapt. Whether we organize offense from the backcourt or adopt more direct offensive tactics, we have many options.

What do you think about the next Champions League match this season?

Every game is very important, and the Champions League is the highest level of event. There are no easy games here, just look at the UEFA Champions League San Giros United's 3-1 away victory over Eindhoven in this round. Every Champions League game will be difficult, and we must do our best to win every point.
