Asllani: I did not expect to be the starter in Albania, ready to replace

Kristjan Asllani is ready to replace Hakan Calhanoglu at Inter after the injury suffered by the Turk.

The Albanian can be a starter against Hellas Verona, while in a statement for "SportMediaset", he declared that he is ready.

Among other things, the midfielder stated that he did not expect to play as a starter in Albania's first match, while emphasizing that there is not much difference in the role he has in the National Team and Inter.

"Asllani can benefit from this, who looks ready to play from the first minute, saying that he feels grown up and uses every opportunity that is given to him.

If Calhanoglu stays out, I don't really know if it's my turn. As I have always said, I try to work hard every day, what comes, comes. I've always said, I feel very old, what I get even 20 minutes, I try to make the most of it, after all I'm only 22 years old.

I'm happy because in this last month let's just say I was almost never available because of the knee injury. I thought that I would not play in the first match against Albania. Instead, I played both for 90 minutes. I thank coach Silvinjo, I thank him very much.

The difference between the game between Inter and Albania? It doesn't change much, I can play all the roles in midfield, I've always been in front of the defense, I prefer that role.

We are Inter, the objective is to bring trophies home, we must win. We want to win the title again, but also to be protagonists in the Champions League.

There are very strong teams in the championship. There are teams that have made good deals, that play to win. We won last year, it's hard to be confirmed, we work on it. We are training much harder than last year and we have clear objectives", declared Asllani.
