Inter Milan Midfielder Kristjan Asllani: “I Deserved Some Jeers But Fans Went Too Far After Supercoppa Italiana” | OneFootball

Inter Milan midfielder Kristjan Asllani has admitted to being affected by the frustrations of supporters in recent weeks and felt that the reaction has gone too far.

The Albania international endured widespread criticism for a woeful performance in the Supercoppa Italiana Final in Saudi Arabia in January, having been introduced as a first-half substitute and seeing Inter squander a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 to AC Milan.

Speaking to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset after Albania’s 2-0 defeat to England in 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying at Wembley on Friday, and as reported by FCInter1908.it, Asllani conceded that his performances hadn’t been up to standard but the jeering had become too much.

“Of course Id’ like to stay for many years, I’ve always said I’m an Inter fan, but I don’t want to sit here making promises because it’s meaningless now. I’m focused on the season,” the former Empoli midfielder declared.

“I was booed, I’m not here to tell lies. Surely if they did it they had their reasons, I didn’t play well, I deserved the boos, I’ll take all the negative things.

“But also after the Supercoppa they were too aggressive with me, I didn’t think I deserved that treatment.”

However, Asllani insisted that the support of his teammates meant that he was focused on improving and finding his form again for the Nerazzurri, but felt a lack of consistent playing time was hampering him.

“Having said that, I continue to work calmly, the team is close to me, I have a family that loves me: I continue on my path

“I am 23 years old, I know I can develop. I also know that in these three years I have not shown my qualities very much and often. But I also know that playing little and coming off the bench is a bit difficult.”

Asllani has made 87 appearances for Inter since joining in 2022.
