Inter Milan wingback Denzel Dumfries has made clear that the Nerazzurri “want to win every trophy” including the Supercoppa Italiana.
The Dutchman spoke to SportMediaset, via FCInterNews, ahead of this evening’s Supercoppa semifinal clash with Atalanta. He made the team’s ambitions clear.
Today, Inter play in the Supercoppa Italiana for the fourth season in a row.
The Nerazzurri have won it in all of the past three campaigns. They beat the likes of Juventus, AC Milan, and then last season, Lazio and Napoli to win the trophy.
This is the second season in a row in which the Supercoppa is a four-team mini-tournament rather than a one-off match.
The Supercoppa has generally had less importance attached to it than the other domestic Italian cup competition, the Coppa Italia.
Nevertheless, it represents an opportunity to win silverware.
Inter have taken advantage of that chance in each of the last three seasons. That has allowed them to build to the team that they are today.
Inter wingback Dumfries gave his thoughts on what today’s match with Atalanta means for the team shortly before kickoff.
Asked if it could be the real final considering the form that Inter and Atalanta have been in in Serie A, the 28-year-old replied “No.”
“Even though they’re a strong team and they’re having a great season.”
“We have to win and then go to the final,” Dumfries said.
“We have a good team and we proved that last season,” the Dutchman continued.
“And now we’re proving it again.”
Dumfries made clear that “We want to win every trophy.”
“Atalanta are a good team. But we’re just focusing on ourselves.”
“If we play the way we know how to, we’re capable of winning everything,” the Inter wingback was confident.
Meanwhile, Dumfries spoke to InterTV, via FCInterNews.
Of the fact that the last time the two teams met Inter won 4-0, the Dutchman noted that “The last time we faced Atalanta they weren’t at full strength,”
“They still hadn’t finished the transfer window,” he said. “But now they’re a different team.”
“They’re in great form and having a great season. We’re ready for a tricky match.”
“Both teams have studied every detail,” Dumfries said. “We know that it will be a tricky match.”
