MUNICH, BAVARIA - After the victory against Viktoria Plzen, which secured qualification to the round of 16 of the Champions League, Inter are preparing to face Bayern Munich on the final matchday of Group C. On the night before the match, alongside coach Inzaghi, Robin Gosens answered journalists' questions in the press conference:
What does it mean to you to be here in Germany, in this stadium? How are you feeling about your health? "For me, it is emotional to be here: I played in the European Championship here with Germany, one of the best things I have ever experienced. I scored in this stadium against Portugal, in a game that perhaps changed my career. A footballer always wants to play, but it's not always that easy, you have to consider different factors. I had a long break and maybe I underestimated my injury: but now I feel good, I think I'm almost at the level of pre-injury Robin. I'm doing my best, I'm always trying to train at my best: I'm sure my time will come".
You spoke about your time with the National team and the World Cup is starting soon: do you think your place in the Germany team is at risk? "The risk is there, the players who do well with their club go to the World Cup, but I also think I have done well every time I have played with the national team. I can only continue to train at my best and give my best when I play, everything else is out of my control."
What kind of match do you expect tomorrow? Both Inter and Bayern have already qualified and already know their position in the group, but traditionally the German team always play to win. "I think it will be the same tomorrow: it is a great opportunity for us, because we'll be able to see how far we have come. We have changed and grown a lot since the first match we played against Bayern in September. I am curious to see how we will play against what is currently one of the best teams in the world: it will be a great Champions League match."
