At 4:00 a.m. on November 6, in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Inter Milan will face Almaty Kairat at home. Before the game, Nerazzurri defender Augusto attended the press conference. He talked about some of the team's current situation.

About the importance of tomorrow's game

- This game is very important. We must strive to win and get points. There are no easy games, we are playing at home and they are making history for their country. We have to stay focused.

Need to work better considering the performance in Verona?

——We always need to keep working hard, but previous mistakes are just accidental. We have to stay focused and keep working hard on the defensive end.

Are you still affected by the last game?

- Sunday's game is definitely going to be tough, but these last minute wins mean a lot. We are moving on our own path.

Do you think you are being taken more seriously this year than last year?

- I feel like I'm integrating better, and so are the new young players. The coach rotates and maintains close contact with the team, which helps build confidence in players who have played less minutes. When we get a chance to play, we have to give it our all. We have a great team and I hope to learn more defensive skills from my teammates.

Did you expect that you would not be called up by the Brazilian national team?

——Entering the national team is everyone’s goal. I want to help Inter Milan win games, and the national team is also a goal. The final choice rests with the coach.

Why are there different trends between Serie A and the Champions League?

- In the Champions League, we have a strong mentality. Goal difference is very important.

How does Chivu inspire you?

——After last season, the coach gave us a lot of help. He brought us back to our previous great performance.
