Brazilian Wingbucklewis Henrique has a great honor for having the opportunity to play for a club like Inter Milan.
The 23-year-old, who spoke to Corriere Della Sera via Fcinternews, admitted that he viewed the move as a “start.”
One season at the Olympics at Marseille was enough to win Louis Henriquet a big-time move to Inter.
Indeed, Nerazuli paid the French club about 24 million euros earlier this month and signed the Brazilian.
However, a high price tag is a big responsibility.
Despite playing two games on Inter, it can be said that Henrique is already under pressure.
After a decent cameo appearance against CF Monterrey, he looked lost to the Urawa Reds.
So the improvements are well underway, especially as he needs to fight Denzel Dumfries.
Still, playing on Inter offers a variety of opportunities.
For example, it should help him join the Brazilian national team.
Louis Henrique is excited about the opportunity to play for Inter Milan
“It’s the gift I was born with,” Henrique said. “It means I can make the dreams I had as a child come true.
“And being able to do that at a great club like Inter gives me so much happiness.”
He then worked on the sudden move from Botafogo to Marseille.
“It all happened very quickly,” he continued. “I don’t think I played 20 professional matches with Botafogo when they sold me.
“It was all new. The type of football, the language. I went back to Brazil for a year, and then I made my own mark.
“Overcoming difficulties was a life lesson. I returned from Lonely to Botafogo from Brazil and with more experience and more confidence.
“Deserbi gave me full support.
Henrique’s advances under Roberto deserbi prepared him for a prominent transfer to Inter.
However, this is a whole new challenge. Christian Chiv expects a lot from Brazilians.
“We talk a lot. He asks me to keep the offense and try out individual plays. Urawa is a very tight team and we struggled.
“I think there is more space against the river, we need to improve fitness, we took a break at the end of the season.
Asked what he needs to do to succeed in Italy, Henrique replied: “I think it’s the more tactical type of football than France.
“We need to improve on that.
“Selecin has strong players. But Inter can give me a different view. It’s up to me to prove I have quality.”
Future matches & Dumfries’ rivalry
Inter will take on the River Plate on Thursday with the decisive FIFA Club World Cup fixture.
“We’ve always had rivalries, but I have a lot of Argentine friends and I’ve learned to understand them better,” commented Henrique.
He then welcomed Inter’s fight against Urawa.
“The response was excellent, but you should not acknowledge any particular goals, and you should start strong against the river right away.
“Helping Inter wins and for me doing better than last season was my best.
“I have already experienced and overcome the challenge of settling in Europe.
“And the 24 million euro transfer fee won’t scare me. I know I have to be responsible. Everything will be decided on the field.”
Finally, he admitted that removing Dumfrey from the starting eleven is not easy.
“Not at all, but to be precise, I know I have to level up my own level.
“Our traits are a little different and depend on the circumstances that occur.”
