Szczęsny: ‘We are going to Milan to beat Inter and take the first place. Lautaro or Vlahovic?…’

The Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny, spoke to DAZN after the home draw with Empoli and ahead of the crucial match against Inter

Should Milan still be considered in the title race? They are strong, and they are performing well in the second half of the season, so they are in the title race.

What are the feelings within the team after the draw with Empoli? There is bitterness because when you play at home against Empoli, with all due respect, you should always win. However, given the circumstances, being down to ten players, it wasn’t easy, and securing a point is positive. Last year, we would lose such games, lose our composure, but this time we still secured a positive point.”

Milik’s red card? It happens, but he deserved the red card. We all make mistakes; but we are a team. We win and lose together, we hope he repays us with many goals.

Vlahovic’s growth? He is aggressive, even in training. He always wants to win and gets upset when he loses. He is in good physical condition, and when he is like this, he is unstoppable. He is among the strongest in Europe. Can he compete with Lautaro? Both are strong, different but very strong,” continued the goalkeeper.

When it comes to facing Inter in the Derby d’Italia, are you ready for that game? We go to Milan to achieve a dream, which is to win the game, and be at the top of the league. It won’t be easy; they are truly strong, but we are there and want to fight.

A message to the fans ahead of the Inter match? No, let’s talk on the field,” concluded the player.
