Summer Signing Luis Henrique Declares ‘A Real Team Is Being Born’ At Inter Milan – Adds ‘Chivu Is Inviting Me To Take Risk’

Luis Henrique commented that “on the right flank I’m studying Dumfries.”

“He’s a player of an extraordinary level,” he commented the Dutchman. “I’d love to become a hammer like him.”

“But I also like starting on the left and moving inside to be more unpredictable. I think I have the right qualities to do that.”

Then, Henrique noted that “at Marseille I also played as a central midfielder.”

“The movements are different. But I enjoy it. I’ll play where the coach chooses, and try to learn.”

Meanwhile, Henrique said that “You can see this is a real team” after Inter’s friendly against Monaco.

“Having played in Ligue 1, I know how hard it is to come up against Monaco.”

“And it’s not easy for anyone to come back when the team is a man down.”

“The preparations have been tough,” Henrique commented. “And you can feel it in your legs.”

“But a strong team is being born,” the Brazilian insisted.

Henrique: “Chivu Wants Me To Take Risks”

Meanwhile, Henrique praised Inter coach Cristian Chivu. “He has the soul of a player,” he said of the Romanian.

“So he understands what you need. And how you feel inside.”

“He’s given me confidence, and the freedom to dribble.”

“He wants me to play my own style of football,” Henrique said of his coach. “To take risks.”

The 23-year-old said that Chivu “encourages me to try one-on-ones.”

“I’m also learning a lot about tactics. Positioning is really important here.”

“But for my part, I think I also bring some Brazilian joy, dribbling, and flair.”

Then, Henrique called competing for the starting spot on the right flank with Denzel Dumfries “the challenge I was looking for at this point in my career.”

“And I say this with utmost admiration for Denzel.”

“I’ve always dreamed of playing for a big team with top players. And that motivates me to find my place.”

Henrique noted that “Healthy competition can help you.”
