This club has very experienced players – top-level ones – who have played in the Champions League for years, and who've featured in World Cups, European Championships, Copa América… 'All of that proves how much experience they have, and I believe they can really help me. 'Personally, I think I can improve tactically, defensively, and offensively. 'Nobody is ever perfect, and I believe you have to try to grow every day – that's what I'll work hard to do. 'I don't really know how to introduce myself. As I said earlier, I'll try to do my best and help the team. Advertisement 'I'll give everything I have on the pitch, I'll give everything for this club. That's definitely what fans can expect from me.' Finally, he admitted he spoke with ex-Inter stars Marcelo Brozovic and Ivan Perisic. 'Definitely. I spoke with them before coming here.
