Inter Milan & Iran Superstar Enjoys Life At Giuseppe Meazza: “A ...

Inter Milan striker Mehdi Taremi enjoyed a dream start to his adventure in Italy after leaving Porto as a free agent in the summer.

During the exclusive interview for the Inter Matchday Programme via FCInterNews, the Iranian star opened up on his life in Italy.

After four memorable years at Porto, Taremi joined Inter on a Bosman deal in the summer.

The 32-year-old went from strength to strength during off-season preparations, scoring goals almost at will.

However, he has struggled for consistency in competitive action.

Yet to score in Serie A, Taremi netted once in the UEFA Champions League against Red Star Belgrade.

Despite his underwhelming scoring output, Simone Inzaghi holds the Iranian ace in high esteem.

Indeed, Taremi will likely start in tonight’s match against RB Leipzig.

He and Lautaro Martinez will be Inzaghi’s attacking pairing after Joaquin Correa and Marcus Thuram picked Hellas Verona apart on Saturday.

“In my first week here, I celebrated my birthday and scored two goals in a friendly match. It was truly fantastic for me,” Taremi said.

“It was the realization of a dream and the beginning of something beautiful.

“I fell in love with football as a child: scoring goals, providing assists, and winning matches have always given me a special feeling.

“Every day you learn a lesson, you must always commit if you want to become a professional athlete.

“I always try to stay positive, I take criticism to heart, and I use every training session and every match to improve myself.”

Taremi also emphasized the importance of the atmosphere at Giuseppe Meazza.

“The locker room is crucial for me, the teammates become like a family where we help each other.

“We share the same joys and pains and go out on the pitch to achieve the same goal.”
