At 2:45 am on September 1, Inter Milan will play against Udinese at home in the second round of Serie A. Before the game began, Inter Milan coach Ziwo attended the press conference.

What is the most important indication for confirmation?

"Attitude and mindset, many other aspects need to be improved."

What role will Cialhanoglu play in your Inter Milan?

"He is an important player and has shown a strong desire to integrate into the team since the first day of training. He returns with the right mindset and is determined to bid farewell to last season (unpleasantness). This is true for everyone. We are very happy that he can return to our team."

How do you think of Pio Esposito being selected for the national team?

"I have known what kind of player Pio is since he was 13 years old. He is a down-to-earth young man who knows the long-term job. He loves challenges and has appropriate humility."

Do you consider the formation of three forwards?

"We will participate in a lot of games this season, so we will also have the opportunity to use a three-forward formation. It depends on actual needs and there will be many possibilities in the future."

Will there be a large-scale rotation of the lineup this season?

"Every three days and every game, we need to keep all the members motivated, and every player must get the opportunity. But meritocrazia is crucial. We must arrange our troops according to individual talents, efforts and actual needs, and the team must always maintain a high level. Excellent practice is my primary principle and I always do this. Players must always maintain the best preparation, the interests of the team will always be preferred, and every player must win the position based on their strength."

Will Susic start?

"Everyone needs to practice excellence through training and use performance to let me think more. What I am concerned about is not the eleven starting players, but how all 22 players can give me difficult problems through training performance and off-court behavior."

You mentioned that you have some agreements with the team, what are the specific ones?

"Some things can be said and some cannot. These are for the sake of team harmony, and I am responsible for both good and bad."

Where can Vlataisy play? Have you ever communicated with the players?

"By characteristics, he is a midfielder, a full-left forward, but he can also play in the shadow forward. Being from the midfield allows him to make some contributions to the defensive end. I believe he can play more roles."

What are the hidden dangers against opponents like Udinese? What mistakes can't the team make?

"Mentality, attitude and quality cannot be wrong. Udinese players are very tough in physical condition, and the same is true for the game style. They always show a good mental outlook. Last season they adopted a 4-4-2 formation and have a very suitable and structured midfield system. The characteristics of the players this season are similar to those of last season, so it will be difficult to deal with them."
