Recoba to silence critics

18-06-2003

Alvaro Recoba claims that he will use the new season to finally prove his worth to Inter.

"It is my intention to win back the faith of the Nerazzurri fans," said the Uruguayan. "I won’t leave this club as a loser."

The Italian giants confirmed last week that Recoba would remain despite another disappointing season at the San Siro.

His inconsistent performances did lead to claims that President Massimo Moratti would consider selling him.

But the club have now reiterated that the attacker is a player who is untouchable on the transfer market.

"I’m not surprised by the stance that the club has taken on me," continued the former Venezia player.

"Before the end of last season I spoke to both boss Hector Cuper and Moratti about the future.

"Neither of them commented about the hypothesis that I could be leaving the city of Milan this summer."

Recoba’s task to impress wasn’t made that easy last term as he was sometimes forced to play as a left-sided midfielder.
