Inter Milan & Brazil Wingback Praises New Coach & Outlines Lofty Ambitions: 'He Has Quality, We Will Have Great Season'

Carlos Augusto was part of the starting line-up at Stadio Brianteo.

With Federico Dimarco occupying his preferred wingback position, the Brazilian had a more conservative role.

Indeed, he faced his former club as a center-back and fared reasonably well.

“These matches are important to be ready for the first league game,” Augusto said after the match. “It was a great performance.

“We had a strong approach, looking for the aggressiveness and verticality that the coach asks for.

“Our legs aren’t at 100% yet, but we’ll be ready for the first official match.”

Then, he spoke about his favorite position.

“I like the two positions I play, it’s good for me. I used to tell Inzaghi, and I tell Chivu the same now.

“He’s young, understands the group and the players. He’s showing quality and ability, and knows how to manage the dressing room.

“We’re going to have a great season.”

Finally, he outlined Inter’s ambitions for 2025/26.

“We are Inter, we have to fight on all fronts. Last season didn’t end well, and we’ll do everything to win.”
