Inter mainstay Alessandro Bastoni discussed the current season and more topics in an interview with Libero (via Goal).

“In terms of grade, I’d give an eight to the team and myself. We started slowly because of the short turnaround with the previous campaign. We got back on track. At the end of August, we would have signed to be in this situation in the Champions League and Serie A.”

Bastoni addressed the loss to Bayer Leverkusen.

“A defeat is never easy to stomach, but, analyzing everything, you just need to look at where Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Real Madrid are to see that we’re doing well. If you are used to excellence, you have to maintain that standard. Clearly, we can’t win every game. It’s ludicrous to argue with the rotations. It wouldn’t be normal to always be 100 percent mentally. And the team suffers if you aren’t. Resting is essential.”

Bastoni had the chance to leave in the past.

“Some sides inquired about me, but I’ve always given my priority to Inter. There’s a life outside of football, and my family is great here. Plus, this club fights to win every competition. I’ve never given half a thought to leaving.”

The center-back discussed Simone Inzaghi.

“His virtue is that he makes everybody feel part of the group and fundamental to the cause. Instead, a defect was maybe that we had trouble understanding his football at first. That’s partly up to us since had Antonio Conte who was completely different.”

Bastoni made his pick between winning another Scudetto or reaching the Champions League final again.

“Surely the latter. We lacked some luck and self-awareness in Istanbul. We know that we’re at that level now.”
