Paval: Inter Milan is not a team of stars, tactics in Italy are not myths

May 28th before the Champions League final, Inter Milan defender Paval accepted an exclusive interview with the French media "Team News" and talked about the current situation of Inter Milan.

How to describe Inter Milan's current team?

"We are not a team of stars, but we can unite and move in the same direction. No player is more important than other players. We know how to press high and also know how to defend low. When we need to retreat to defend, we retreat. The most important thing is not to concede the ball, bear the pressure, and work hard for victory."

Talking about my own game style

"Sometimes I will appear in the right back position, even as the right wing back, Midfielders sometimes retreat to the central defender position. The coach never requires us to be fixed in one position, I can drive the ball and cut in and continue to penetrate forward after passing. We have a high degree of freedom on the court, but the most important thing is to maintain balance, which is the focus of the coach's emphasis. Although we can play freely, there are always people who need to fill up the position behind us. When I step forward, Barrera will come to fill up my position. "

After coming to Italy in 2023, have you discovered a new football style?

"Yes, tactics are not myths here, everything is rigorously trained. We know what to do in each stage of the game and add some free play on this basis, which I think is what I need."

If you can win the final, the journey will be perfect...

"If you can win, it is perfect. I played for Bayern for four years and won a lot of championships. This time I will also play against a French team... I am a Frenchman, but Saturday won't be (laughs). " Will the

vs. French team make you hope to get more recognition in France?

"Do you think I lack recognition?"

Sometimes it does?

"Maybe, but I still have a chance. I am only 29 years old. In Italy, I feel the love of the fans and the club. Here, I feel very comfortable. My career is not yet over. I hope my honor can endorse me."

Talk about defeating Paris in the Champions League final with Bayern in 2020. "I hope to experience the same ending again, but we cannot underestimate Paris. This team has been Come and have been doing well. I think Paris is more stable this season, the team is very balanced, with a super coach, I think he is one of the best coaches in the world. Their team football is excellent and it looks like a treat. There will be some tough moments in the game, but I am not worried because we have experienced players who are used to dealing with these moments. "

Will the experience of Inter Milan losing to Manchester City in the Champions League final two years ago help you?

"A lot of players would want revenge, they learned a lot from that loss and became stronger because of it. I remember everyone thought they would lose, but they did a great job."

So this time it was a bit like the last dance of this team?

"We still have a chance to do something big, so we can't think so. I'm already very proud of the achievements we have made together. I'm also proud of my career and the ups and downs I've experienced, and I'm very happy to be a part of this team."

France lost without you in the 2016 European Cup final, but won the championship with your participation in 2018. Do you think the 2016 loss helped?

"Yes, because you get experience from it. When you lose a final, you need time to recover. We can't always win, but we do learn from failure. It is in difficult times that you improve the fastest because you start questioning yourself. There is this experience in our team, and it's a strength."
