Eder: 'I feel important at Inter'
By Football Italia staff

Eder declares he has no intention of leaving Inter: 'I came in a difficult moment, but I feel important now'.

On from his statements about new Coach Frank De Boer after the 2-0 win over Celtic, the striker discussed his own prospects with the team and on the market.

“I kept myself in check even while I was in holiday, and last week I started training at home,” Eder said, as reported by the Gazzetta dello Sport. “I left nothing to chance, I want to be ready.

“Some people forget that last year I joined Inter in their most difficult moment. And yet I remained calm even over those weeks. Nothing was wasted, for the good and for the bad. Now we all start again from zero, our slates clean.

“I was happy with my performances, even though in Genoa I was scoring loads. But a striker does more than just scoring. I learnt a lot over that period and from [Coach Roberto] Mancini.”

Eder's relatively disappointing time with the Nerazzurri led to links with the Chinese Super League this summer.

“I read of this interest too, but I never thought about it. In truth, I even received two-three offers from top clubs. But I wanted to remain with Inter, because I feel important for the current project.

“Besides, in a great team you must be able to draw strength from the competition between players.

“I'm aware that Inter's attacking roster is very strong, and the Coach has his own ideas. De Boer will make his decisions and I'm aware that I won't be able to play every game.”
