Zalevsky: I tried hard to stay when I first came to Inter Milan. Mourinho gave me a lot of help after my father passed away

Not long ago, Inter Milan full-back Zalevsky was interviewed by the Evening Post during the Club World Cup and talked about multiple topics.

Suggestions to Pio Esposito

"Never stop working, because difficult times will come, this is my secret to success and it also applies to anyone."

You have just been bought out by Inter. Do you think it was your comprehensiveness that convinced Inter?

"I think yes. It is true that I can play multiple positions and score a goal as a midfielder as a first midfielder. I also performed well against Como, and these are all very important."

You showed vitality in the derby after joining Inter, assisting Devrey in the goal

"As soon as I came to the base of Appiano, I was touched by something special. It is not only reflected in the court, but also in my relationship with people here. I have tried to stay since the first moment I came here, but I don't think it is a finishing point."

What impression did Zivo leave on you?

"His communication style, and the interpersonal relationships he created."

Don't you like the word destined? Because it will definitely happen?

"People think that talent is enough to achieve success, but ignore the daily efforts put into it."

The village town of Poly, where you grew up, is a very small place. Are you one of the few Italians who grew up playing street football?

"Yes, there is only a small stadium, we can't use it."

Have you learned anything from street football?

"Yes, I can stand here, of course, thanks to my childhood experience and the environment at that time."

Your father became a Roma fan under your influence. Was he a Inter Milan fan before?

"Yes, Poly has many Inter Milan fans. After he came to Italy, he also became Inter Milan fans."

When your father passed away, you were only under 20 years old. How can you persist in this situation?

"It's not easy, but my father formed a strong family and gave everyone very important values. I also want to thank Mourinho, who helped me a lot during that time, and I'm talking about more than just the football level."
