Christian Eriksen maintains ‘it was the right decision’ to join Inter from Tottenham Hotspur, even if Serie A viewers ‘haven’t seen the real Eriksen yet.’
The Dane is finally beginning to flourish at San Siro after Antonio Conte changed his team’s tactics to create a trequartista spot behind the strikers.
In the first two games since the lockdown was lifted, the former Tottenham man has scored one goal and provided an assist.

The Dane is finally beginning to flourish at San Siro after Antonio Conte changed his team’s tactics to create a trequartista spot behind the strikers.
In the first two games since the lockdown was lifted, the former Tottenham man has scored one goal and provided an assist.
“I don’t think that you’ve seen the true Eriksen,” he told Sky Sport Italia after last night’s 2-1 win over Sampdoria.
“I can improve further and I hope to score more. I did so against Napoli, but it didn’t help the team so it doesn’t matter for me and it was just a lucky effort. I had a few chances tonight and perhaps I rushed the strikes too much and I’ll look to do better in the future.”
Eriksen’s arrival in the January transfer window was delayed by extensive negotiations with Spurs, then the lockdown stalled his progress further.
“Things keep getting better, I think it was the right decision to come here. I’ve been welcomed very well with a lot of warmth from both the fans and my teammates,” he continued.
“I’m proud to be here and of the fact that Inter wanted me. I’m disappointed to not experience the atmosphere put on by the fans at the stadium, but things are going very well with everyone.”
