Alex Telles insists his Inter teammate Felipe Melo could be a Coach one day – “he plays a lot of Football Manager…”
The Brazilian may not be the most logical choice for a bench role, as just today it was announced he’ll serve a three-game suspension for a karate-kick on Lucas Biglia.
“He loves the sport, and he watches a lot of games,” Telles explained to ESPN Brazil.
Alex Telles insists his Inter teammate Felipe Melo could be a Coach one day – “he plays a lot of Football Manager…”
The Brazilian may not be the most logical choice for a bench role, as just today it was announced he’ll serve a three-game suspension for a karate-kick on Lucas Biglia.
“He loves the sport, and he watches a lot of games,” Telles explained to ESPN Brazil.
“Sometimes he watches games on his phone, and he plays a lot of Football Manager. He’s very competitive, he has everything to become a great Coach in the future.
“He knows what goes on both on and off the field. We’re good friends, and we’ve started very well at Inter.
“He told me he wanted to make history at Inter, like we did in Turkey with Galatasaray. I’m happy and adapting, this country is similar to Brazil.
“Turkey is different. For me, Serie A is a dream come true.”
The full-back also revealed his dream of a call-up for Dunga’s Brazil squad.
“I still dream of getting that call, and playing in Italy will make it easier. Inter are a great team, and if I do well at Inter then I can do it, even if there are great players in my position like Felipe Luis and Marcelo.
“I hope I can still get my chance.”
