Spoke at the Sky Calcio Show, Eder, who scored a goal and made an wonderful assist to Candreva , responded on his momentum and his use as a starter – the Italian also spoke about the absences of Icardi and Perisic:
“I do not like to talk about who is not there, Palacio and I both can help out. Today was not easy with a team like Empoli who works well without the ball, but we did well and we must continue like this.”
Questioned later about his attitude as a leader, always available with teammates, the Italian-Brazilian responded with his usual humility: “I do not like to go as a leader, encouraging others is the way I work, I’m always positive if you play or if you do not play. Even when I do not play I’m not complaining with the coach, otherwise, I would be disrespecting the fellow who plays in my place.”
About his slow adaptation to Inter’s environment, Eder gave a meaningful answer: “Last January I could’ve chosen between Leicester and Inter, and I did well, the months from February to May of last year helped me to get noticed by European clubs. Of course, sometimes it is not easy to stay positive and not play, but I am getting myself with the way I do to make my contribution. The change I decided to make in January from an average team like Sampdoria to a club as big as Inter, I knew even talking about it with my attorneys would not be easy. There were no problems, at first there was strength in the squad this year but with Pioli it’s better. Since I’m here, for the first time I see a group concept, and this has been created thanks to Pioli: working together for the Champions League is not easy but we are on the right path.”
The attacker, then, was questioned on the controversy that occurred in Juventus Stadium: “I do not look at every newspapers and slow-motion replays, the whole group was aware that we had a great game with a big like Juve. We understand the good things and the things to improve on: we have to go on like this.”
Finally Eder spoke about Candreva‘s goal: “I never use my left, I went for the outside of the foot.”
