Albania EURO 2024 Star Underlines Inter Milan’s Objectives In Champions League Clash Vs Feyenoord: “Focus On Giving Our Best” | OneFootball

Kristjan Asllani has received a rare chance to start in this evening’s Champions League match between Feyenoord and Inter Milan.

Speaking to InterTV via FCInterNews, Asllani admitted he and his teammates are eager to produce a high-level performance.

Inter qualified for the Round of 16 through a top-eight finish in the newly formatted league phase.

Furthermore, Simone Inzaghi oversaw just one defeat in eight European games this season, going down at Bayer Leverkusen.

Indeed, Leverkusen’s late winner at the BayArena was the only goal the Nerazzurri had conceded in the league stage.

Therefore, the reigning Scudetto holders head into this two-legged tie as heavy favorites to reach the quarter-finals.

However, Feyenoord’s home form suggests Inter would be naive to underestimate Robin Van Persie’s side.

Meanwhile, Asllani will be out to prove his worth to Inzaghi after replacing Hakan Calhanoglu in the starting line-up.

Kristjan Asllani Insists Inter Milan Will Try to Give Their Best vs Feyenoord

“It’s very important; we must not think about the second leg but focus on giving our all in this match,” Asllani was adamant.

“Feyenoord is a very strong team, and we all know the results they’ve achieved at home.

“We need to step onto the pitch with the right determination and give our best.”

Then, he discussed rumors saying Inzaghi could alter his formation amid a severe injury crisis.

“We know the system we’ve always played with, but if there are any changes, the coach will decide.

“Either way, we are ready,” he concluded.

Inter head into proceedings eager to extend an impressive 11-game unbeaten run against Dutch opposition.

However, Feyenoord will not go down without a fight.

After beating AC Milan and Bayern Munich at De Kuip, they will likely give the Nerazzurri a run for their money.
