Palacios: "I'm proud to be here, and I will give my best"

Tiago Tomás Palacios is officially a new player for Inter. Here are his first words, given exclusively to Inter TV:

What was your reaction when you received the call from Inter, and how do you feel today? "I was very happy and proud. I’m living a dream right now; all that's left is to train and give my best".

You started as an attacker but now play as a defender. How did this positional change happen, and how would you describe yourself as a defender today? "I’m a gritty defender who enjoys playing with the ball at my feet. As a child, I started as an attacker, but as I grew and due to my height and technique, I moved to defence. I’m proud of my position and hope to give my best".

Inter has a great tradition of Argentine players, many of whom have made history with the Club. Is there anyone in particular who inspires you? "At my age, I look up to Lautaro a lot. Having him as a teammate now is a dream come true".

This is your first experience in Europe, and you’ve signed with the Italian Champions. What are your goals for this season, both personally and collectively? "Personally, I want to gain playing time and enjoy being at this amazing Club. Collectively, I hope to help the team and my teammates, and take Inter as high as possible."
