Yann Sommer, goalkeeper of Club Brugge, commented enthusiastically on this evening's match against Inter, speaking to UEFA. In his speech he expressed the energy he feels when playing in such an evocative stadium, recalling his first matches there, which took place about three and a half years ago. "It's a special place and tomorrow will be even more special. I can't wait to play this match," he said, underlining his club's focus on the result.
The goalkeeper recognized the quality of the opponent, having already had the opportunity to play against Inter in the past. "I know the team well, they have a lot of quality. It will be an interesting match, but my focus is on Brugge's performance," he added. He also joked about how Turkish footballer Enner Bülbül Calhanoglu, known for his free kicks, tends to "always kick at other goalkeepers", suggesting that his technique is very precise and difficult to counter.
Sommer reiterated that Brugge will need a great evening to achieve a positive result. "I know his quality and that of the team, it is a great club with strong players in every department. We will need a great evening to have a good result," he said. He also expressed confidence in his defensive abilities, highlighting that the main objective is always to win.
As for Inter, Sommer said he sees no possibility of underestimating the Italian club. "I don't think Inter take the match seriously, but we have our qualities and we want to play a great match." Concluding, he reaffirmed his determination: "The goal is always to win, always." The match therefore promises to be an intense challenge between two high-level teams, with Brugge trying to exploit their experience and the goalkeeper's concentration to counter Inter.
