Brazil Star Warns Verona Will Bring ‘Aggression & Desire To Win’ But Says Inter Milan Are Ready | OneFootball

Carlos Augusto insists Inter Milan are fully focused and mentally prepared for a difficult Serie A test away to Hellas Verona.

Speaking to Inter TV before kick-off, via FCInterNews, the Brazilian highlighted the need for composure and determination as Cristian Chivu’s side look to continue their strong run of form.

Inter arrive at the Bentegodi on the back of a decent run of form across all competitions, but Augusto warned against any complacency.

The early 12:30 (local time) kick-off, he admitted, presents unique challenges in preparation and rhythm.

Meanwhile, he believes Inter’s professionalism will make the difference.

“It’s always great to win,” he said. “Today will be tough and complicated, especially with the early start, but we have to give everything to take the three points.”

The 25-year-old, starting on the left once again, expects Verona to bring energy and physicality.

“We’re not used to this schedule, but we need to be ready for every situation,” he explained.

“Verona will show aggression and hunger to get back to winning ways. We must stay focused and follow the coach’s instructions.”

Augusto added that the squad’s mentality under Chivu has evolved in recent weeks.

Indeed, an emphasis on flexibility and quick adaptation regardless of conditions or opponents.

For the Brazilian, wearing the Inter shirt always means playing to win, no matter the circumstances.
