In the first round of the Champions League held this morning, Inter Milan defeated Ajax 2-0 away. After the game, Inter Milan striker Thuram Jr. accepted an interview with Sky Sports.

Today Inter Milan performed more stably and focusedly. Are you satisfied with the game?

Yes, we were more focused, better understanding and control of the game, although not always as exciting as the coach said. We tried to do that, we wanted to keep not losing the ball from the beginning, and we did.

You joked with Juventus' younger brother K-Turam in the last Serie A game and was criticized for this. No, this did not bother me. Various reactions on the Internet...this is not a problem. I am still that Tulam, forever. This is better, isn't it?

How did you improve your status?

What I need to do now is prepare for the next game and work hard with new coaches and new players. We played a great game tonight and it felt really good from my personal perspective, just like the previous two seasons. We'll see what happens next.

Inter Milan young player F-Esposito partnered with you on the front line in this game. How did you cooperate?

Yes, very well cooperated. All of Italy knew Esposito, and tonight he made the world know himself. He is a very outstanding young man, and I am not as strong as him at his age. I wish him all the best and he will help the team this season.
