Inter Milan New Boy Hails ‘Positive Atmosphere’ in Preseason – Calls Brazil International ‘Fundamental’ Behind The Scenes’ | OneFootball

New summer signing Luis Henrique feels that there is a “positive atmosphere” at Inter Milan in preseason.

The Brazilian spoke to Italian broadcaster DAZN, via FCInterNews. He gave his thoughts on his first couple months at the Nerazzurri, and also called teammate Carlos Augusto “fundamental” behind the scenes.

Brazilian winger Luis Henrique has now been an Inter player for a couple months.

The Nerazzurri signed Henrique from Marseille at the start of the summer. They had in fact been negotiating a deal to bring him in since the spring.

The 23-year-old is a player who Inter identified as an ideal backup to Denzel Dumfries at right-wingback.

Furthermore, Henrique is a player who can give Inter greater tactical versatility.

The Brazilian’s speed and dribbling ability give him a bit of a different profile to a player like Dumfries. And even potentially the ability to play in other positions than at wingback.

This could be particularly important since Inter are working under a new coach. Cristian Chivu replaced Simone Inzaghi after the latter left for the big money offer of Al-Hilal.

Luis Henrique commented that “all my teammates and the coaching staff have given me a great welcome” at Inter.

“I feel more and more at home every day.”

The 23-year-old continued by saying that “I’m taking advantage of this period to integrate into the group as best I can.”

“Having another Brazilian like Carlos Augusto is crucial,” Henrique noted.

“He helps me every day. In the past, I’ve played in Europe without any other Brazilians in the squad. And that was a lot harder.”

Meanwhile. Henrique hailed the “positive atmosphere” at Inter.

“And there’s great respect from those who have been here for longer.”

“They’re always the first to joke around and make you feel at ease,” said Henrique. “I’ll learn a lot from them, I’m happy to have players of that calibre alongside me.”
