Gnoukouri thanks Inter squad for their support

Following their 2-1 win over Roma on Saturday, Inter midfielder Assane Gnoukouri has thanked the Nerazzurri squad for helping him to settle in.

The Ivorian youngster made his debut for Roberto Mancini’s men in the 3-0 victory against Hellas Verona in a short cameo, but was in the starting line-up in Saturday’s game and the derby against city rivals AC Milan last Sunday.

“I have already settled in, but Rodrigo [Palacio], [Andrea] Ranocchia, and Juan Jesus have helped me a lot,” Gnoukouri told Sky Sport.

“I thank the whole team for their support, as they helped me a lot on the field, and in the end I managed to play well in the past two games. The most difficult thing is to run and retrieve balls, I try to do what the coach asks me to do.

“Juan Jesus always gives me a lot of advice, as well as [Isaac] Donkor, [George] Puscas, Mancini and my family of course who are very close to me.”
