Arnautović: "Here to win, happy to be back"

MILANO - Marko Arnautović has joined Inter. The Austrian forward gave an exclusive interview with Inter TV and discussed his emotions upon rejoining the Nerazzurri.

What does it mean to you to be returning after all this time? "I'm really happy. It's a great honour for me to play for Inter again. When I was here 13 years, it was more as a fan than a player but now I'm here to help the team win." How much have you grown since leaving Inter? "A lot because I was a hot-headed kid who didn't focus on football. I'm different now; I have a family and I'm a lot calmer. I've grown in age and character. I hope that it goes really well." You're an experienced and talented player; what do you think are your best attributes? "Yes, I'm a technical player but I'm strong too. I came here to score goals; I know how to do that."

You had two good seasons with Bologna; what are your expectations for this new chapter? "I came here to win; at Inter you need to win. I want a trophy. I'm so happy to be back." You've already played competitive football this season; Serie A is back now though, so how hungry are you to get going? "I've already asked to start training right away and meet my teammates. The league begins on Saturday and we'll try to get off to a winning start."
