Luis Figo scored a brace in today’s friendly test and believes the break came at the right time to recharge Inter’s batteries in the Scudetto race.
“We have been working intensely and it has really helped,” said the Portuguese veteran on Inter Channel. “The break for international duty came at the right time, especially for me, as I have had the chance to train regularly and get closer to my top form.”
Figo scored twice in today’s 4-0 friendly victory over Swiss outfit Lugano, with David Pizarro and Obafemi Martins also on target.
“We had the opportunity to test out some new tactics along with the Coach. As for my role, I can play just about anywhere, the important thing is to contribute to the team. What really counts is always going for the victory.”
The Nerazzurri are now 10 points adrift of leaders Juventus, but Figo believes they can still challenge for the Scudetto this season.
“From now until Christmas there are a series of games in Serie A that can give us the chance to close down that gap. I, as I have already said, remain confident.”
Adriano and Julio Cesar returned to the training ground after Brazil’s 8-0 friendly win in the United Arab Emirates, as their planned encounter with Kuwait was cancelled.
