Italy Star Declares ‘We’re Hungry For Redemption, It’s Not The End Of A Cycle’ After Five-Star Inter Milan 5-0 Torino Win | OneFootball

Alessandro Bastoni says that Inter Milan are “hungry for redemption” after their 5-0 Serie A win over Torino.

The Italian international spoke to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews, after the opening day triumph.

Inter Milan got their season off to a winning start against Torino, and emphatically so.

In Cristian Chivu’s first Serie A match in charge, the Nerazzurri beat the Granata 5-0.

Alessandro Bastoni scored the opener from a corner, whilst Marcus Thuram made it two before halftime.

Then, goals from Lautaro Martinez and a second from Thuram put the match fully out of sight in Inter’s favour.

Then, striker Ange-Yoan Bonny came on and scored a fifth in his Inter debut. Meanwhile, there were also league debuts for the likes of Petar Sucic, Luis Henrique, and Andy Diouf.

In the case of Sucic, it was a full debut, as the Croatian international started, pulling the strings in an all-action midfield performance and even bagging an assist for Thuram’s first goal.

After the match, Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni joked that “I’m happy for Marcus after he decided to go on vacation for the last six months of last season.”

But he then added “I’m happy, he deserves it.”

“We wanted to prove ourselves, first and foremost,” Bastoni said.

“Despite the tough ending to last season, we still have a strong desire for redemption and to do well. We’re happy with tonight’s match.”

Baastoni continued that “last season we reached the Champions League final and finished second, losing by just a point.”

“Then we didn’t end up winning anything. And people still talk about a failed season.”

“But a team at the end of their cycle don’t get there,” Bastoni argued.

Bastoni continued that “the group is in form, the desire is there, and the new players have given us energy and motivation.”
