Andreas Brehme believes that Inter‘s victory at Anfield was the turning point in the Nerazzurri’s campaign and reveals he told Joachim Löw to keep a close eye on Robin Gosens.
The Germany international is expected to start his first game at Inter today against Spezia.
“He is ready and not from today,” his compatriot Brehme told La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.
“He wanted to start his first game earlier, but he had been recovering from an injury, so Inter waited for him and now they have an extra weapon for the final part of the season.”
Is it true that he told Löw to consider the former Atalanta star for the Germany national team?
“When Joachim and I meet in Sardinia, we talk almost entirely about football. Once I told him to keep an eye on Gosens, who was at Atalanta. After a few days of training, he understood that his friend Andy was right.”
Brehme hopes that both he and Perisic will be at Inter next season. The Croat’s contract runs out in the summer and there is still no agreement over a new deal with the Serie A giants.
“Ivan is proving to be fit as a 20-year-old player. He deserves to stay regardless of his age. I’d like an Inter with both Gosens and Perisic. Ivan could also play on the right or as a striker.”
When was Inter’s turning point? The win against Juventus?
“It was decisive, but Inter must win the next three games against Spezia, Roma and Bologna. If they do so, they will win the Scudetto. But the turning point was at Anfield. Winning against that team away was exceptional and made everyone understand that the real Inter was returning.”
What’s his take on Gleison Bremer? His father called him like that because of Brehmer…
“Now, I’ll look at him with different eyes,” the ex-midfielder said.
“For the moment, I can only say that his father is a smart man and someone who has an excellent knowledge of football.”
