Carlos Augusto is enjoying every bit of life at Inter Milan.
He spoke to Sky Sport after a match-winning performance against Como via FCInterNews, revealing his happiness at Giuseppe Meazza.
The versatile Brazilian defender opened the scoring in last night’s 2-0 home victory.
Indeed, his thumping header set the foundation for Inter’s 13th consecutive home win against the top-flight newcomers.
Marcus Thuram then maintained his red-hot form. The Frenchman scored a rocket to put daylight between the sides in added time.
However, the 25-year-old wingback grabbed the headlines.
After catapulting Inter in front, he stopped Como from pegging them back.
Thanks to his last-ditch defensive effort, Edoardo Goldaniga didn’t tap home from point blank on the back post.
Following an injury-riddled start to the campaign, Augusto is seemingly back to his best.
He has scored in back-to-back league appearances for Inter for the first time.
Before breaking the deadlock against Cesc Fabregas’ side, Augusto netted in last week’s 6-0 demolition of Lazio.
But last night’s goal was far more significant.
Indeed, Inter had immensely struggled against Como’s low defensive block before Augusto’s header got them in front.
Although he received widespread praise for his performance, the former Monza defender prioritizes the club’s interests over his own.
“I’m happy, but the most important thing is the victory for Inter,” he insisted.
“We knew it was a tough match, but we took the three points.
“We knew last year was a different season, but we have to forget about it.
“This year, there are many strong teams, but I have a lot of confidence in my teammates, who are the best in the world.
“We’ll see what happens at the end.”
Inter will lock horns with bottom-half minnows Cagliari at the Unipol Domus next.
