“Inter Milan Means Everything To Me” – Brazil Star Praises Head Coach Chivu & Reveals What He’d Take From Teammate | OneFootball

Inter wing-back Carlos Augusto spoke candidly to the club’s MatchDay Programme ahead of the Serie A clash with Cremonese, describing what playing for the Nerazzurri means to him and praising head coach Cristian Chivu.

“What does Inter mean to me today? I’d say everything,” the Brazilian admitted, with quotes via FCInterNews.

The versatile player, who can play at full-back, wide midfield and centre-back, signed from Monza in 2023 and has quickly become a fan favourite in Lombardy.

The Brazilian has over 100 appearances for the Nerazzurri, with four goals to his name.

“It’s a club that opened the doors to major competitions and the national team. It’s a great club – when I was little, I followed Brazilian Inter players like Adriano, Maicon, and Julio Cesar. Now, for me, stepping onto the pitch with this shirt is an honour.”

The 26-year-old has 2 appearances for the Brazil national team.

However, he has not played for the Seleção since 2023 but has converted his good club form into an international call-up recently.

The Brazilian will be hoping to impress ahead of next year’s World Cup in North America.

Augusto also praised his coach: “Chivu made history at Inter, he was a great player and now he’s a great coach. He knows how to make the group feel good – we have total respect for him.”

And if he could take one quality from a teammate? “I’d take Barella’s first touch and football intelligence.”
