Denzel Dumfries, a Dutch international for Inter Milan, is excited about the start of the new Champions League season. The first match of the Inter competition will take place on Wednesday in Amsterdam, against the Ajax. At a press conference prior to this duel, Dumfries already discussed the current situation of his team. The Inter had a more difficult start to the season in Serie A than expected, with two losses in the first three games, raising concerns in Italy. Despite this, Dumfries insists that the Ajax should not be underestimated, stressing the quality and dynamism of their game.

Dumfries openly compliments Ajax and his coach, John Heitinga, by saying that they have a remarkable individual quality and a well-defined game plan. He said he had followed the Dutch competition and analysed the Ajax matches, confirming his appreciation for the opposing team. The presence of Christian Chivu, Inter trainer, at the press conference was also notable. Chivu, who played at the Ajax between 1999 and 2003, brings a unique perspective and valuable experience to the team.

Dumfries highlights Chivu’s positive impact on the team, describing him as a winner who seeks to convey his mentality to the players and show them what is needed to succeed. Chivu, for his part, expresses his pride to return to Amsterdam, while stressing the need to win at all costs, given the recent defeats in Italy. He is optimistic about the situation, encouraging the team to focus on the future and learn from past mistakes.
