Biraji: Inter Milan is one of the world s strongest teams. Torino still needs to make progress if it wants to participate in the European game

May 12th In the 36th round of Serie A, Torino lost 0-2 to Inter Milan at home. Turin defender Biraj attended the post-match press conference.

What lessons did you learn from tonight's game?

First of all, I want to point out that the opponent scored almost 40 points more than us in the Serie A... Inter Milan has two lineups, which is enough to play the main role in all teams in Serie A, and even in European football. They are very strong, the team has worked with the coach for a long time, and new players can quickly integrate into the team. We have beaten Inter or Milan in the past, but that's because we did a perfect match and the opponents have some players missing. But Inter Milan is one of the strongest teams in Europe and even the world, with a solid defense and can seize it once you have the chance. We could have had a faster pace of play, as Inter had a lot of money in the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona, ​​but they still had a 2-0 lead and were almost impossible to reverse.

Turin sent a lot of young players in this game. How do you view their performance?

I don't talk about individual players, but about the whole team. We have given everything, but that's not enough. For young players, they will grow up in such important games.

Masina scored a barb in stoppage time, why was the goal cancelled?

At that time, I had almost no strength to stand up, so I didn't ask why. In my opinion, that contact was normal in that very crowded restricted area. But I don't know the specific situation, I never comment on the referee, nor will this time.

Do you think Turin has made progress? How far is it to the European War? We are in the process of transformation, which is a good sign. We are not behind, but it still takes time. You cannot completely change within a few months. We just need to complete the process of change as soon as possible. When I was in Fiorentina, it took us three years to qualify for the European War, and that was a long process... I have been changing since I came to Turin, and we have made mistakes during this period, especially at home. There are some games we should win, but we didn't. I hope I will learn from this next season. To participate in the European Games, you need 65 points, and we can't get 20 points in two months... The coach knows what he wants, and we have to speed up the process as much as possible.

Due to heavy rain, the venue conditions were very bad

At some time in the first half, it was almost impossible to play. The situation improved in the second half, but in those 7 or 8 minutes it was not a real football game at all.

You have worked with Conte at Inter Milan. What do you think of the competition for the Serie A championship?

I know neither Conte nor his players want to give up anything, and so does the opponent. I don't know what the end result is, but I'm now focusing on Turin.
