Inter Milan & Brazil Wingback Ecstatic After Heroic Performance Vs Como: “We Will Have A Merry Christmas” | OneFootball

Carlos Augusto ensured a celebratory Christmas mood for all Inter Milan fans with a telling performance against Como.

The Nerazzurri hero talked to InterTV via FCInterNews after a 2-0 victory, admitting he’ll have a ‘great’ Christmas.

Augusto’s header three minutes after the halftime interval swayed things in Inter’s favor following a tepid first half.

It was a game-defining moment, helping Inter round past Como’s stubborn backline.

However, Simone Inzaghi was anxious until the final minutes before Marcus Thuram put his fears to bed.

Indeed, the French striker beat Pepe Reina with an incredible finish from the edge of the box to kill the game off.

Despite Thuram’s masterclass, Augusto stole the headlines.

Besides, his second consecutive scoring appearance in Serie A wasn’t the only noteworthy takeaway from last night’s showing.

His defensive intervention to deny Como an equalizer midway through the second half was equally significant.

“But the most important thing is the win for Inter and having a great Christmas with our families.

“For all the fans who filled the stadium today and deserve this victory, and best wishes to all the workers at Inter.”

Moreover, Augusto discussed his relationship with his fellow defensive comrade, Yann Bisseck.

“Bisseck is a great friend of mine. The first half wasn’t our best, but we know we’re strong,” he claimed.

“There are no easy games in Serie A, but we approached the second half well and then controlled the match.’

Asked whether Inter struggled before the opening goal, Augusto replied: “Yes.

“Then, in January and February, there will be many close and tough games, but in a balanced league, every match counts.

“I’m happy with the win and for my teammates.”
