Arnautovic dreams again from the Champions League – Diepresse.com
Champions League winner is already Marko Arnautovic. In 2010, Wiener, who was at the start of his professional career, was allowed to celebrate with the Inter-Stars. On Saturday he wants to experience a déjà-vu in the final of PSG.
At the age of 21, Arnautovic in Madrid stood the Henkel Cup after the Milan triumph of FC Bayern. On Saturday, Munich is the scene of the event, Inter Gripping against Paris Saint-Germain again after the highest trophy in club football. Arnautovic takes a seat again on the bench, but his role is different.
The 36-year-old has been in the Champions League seven missions this season. Since the round of 16 against Feyenoord, however, Arnautovic has not been on the field. His contract at Inter expires at the end of June, whether he will take the trip to the club World Cup, is questionable. In Munich he could make his last commitment to the Nerazzurri. « That can be quite possible, I didn’t think of it, » said Arnautovic in an interview with Canal+, which the broadcaster will radiate as part of his transfer of the final. His thoughts are only in the game. « It is something extraordinary, something beautiful, to stand again with the same team in the final as it was back then. »
About an hour for Viennese at Triple-win 2010
At that time, Arnautovic was moved to Milan as a loan from Twente Enschede. None other than Jose Mourinho led the team. Inter won the triple from the championship, Coppa Italia and Champions League. Arnautovic yield: Three games with a total of less than 60 minutes in series A. He was allowed to play for a half against Siena. At Inters title celebration in the San Siro, Arnautovic was still celebrated with a golden cap on the middle circle. The look back is now thoughtful.
« In 2010 I didn’t really feel like a footballer because I ran there as a young boy. I was also non -stop there on the replacement bench, but I didn’t really feel that, » said Arnautovic in retrospect. Now everything is different. In the cabin, the veteran is appreciated as an experienced man. « Marko is a player who can motivate the team very well, even if things go badly. You also take it seriously because he is the oldest with Acerbi. You listen to him when he says something and respects him – because he is always right in the end, » said Inters in Mannheim in Mannheim.
« Always have a good saying »
Goalkeeper Yann Sommer also sees Arnautovic as a factor in the Inter team. « He also has a great quality as a player. I am sure that we will also need him in the final. » Arnautovic also « always had a good saying on his lips, » noted the Swiss. Simone Inzaghi probably also knows that. In the quarterfinals against Bayern Munich, Arnautovic whispered a little in his trainer in the final phase of the game, Inzaghi had to laugh out loud. He is considered a fan of the Austrian in Italy’s press.
The loyalty of the attacker is estimated. Arnautovic knows about his role in the team. Behind striker Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram and Mehdi Taremi, he is number four in the striker ranking. « The last two years it has been my job to come from the replacement bank. I try to motivate the boys before the game, even in training, » said the 123-time international (39 goals). In Munich he wants to « realize a dream » with Inter. (APA)
