Inter Milan midfielder Asllani: It's a battle here

Inter Milan midfielder Kristjan Asllani admits he faces a battle for a place in coach Simone Inzaghi's team.

Asllani concedes he acts as cover for Haka Calhanoglu.

He said, I have a strong opponent in Hakan Calhanoglu, one of the three best in his role from whom I am learning a lot. But I won't give up and I will fight until the end. I have to work more in the defensive phase.

I still want to grow physically, and I need to gain more minutes. I will be able to exploit the right minutes and I will not stop working to gain the coach's trust. It's not easy, given that I play for Inter. I also want to dedicate a lot of time to training.

I came to Inter to play the role I also played in the Empoli youth team. In the minutes they give me I will have to give my best."
