Inter’s Walter Samuel has conceded that he won’t celebrate if he scores against former club Roma on Wednesday.
The stopper made his name in Europe with the capital side before moves to Real Madrid and then Internazionale.
"I don’t think I would celebrate if I hit the back of the net," the Argentine told Sky Italia. "That’s because I still have many friends there who wouldn’t be too pleased with such a gesture."
The central defender spent four years in the capital, even winning Lo Scudetto with the then formidable Giallorossi.
However, he’s now a key figure at the San Siro as he tries to replicate that sort of success with the sleeping giants.
Inter are currently third in the table, six points adrift of Juve, and the player has underlined that his side still need to improve.
"We have to pay attention to details," noted Samuel. "It is vital that we stay alert at all times.
"We made two mistakes in Turin against Juventus, one by me, and that cost us as we went on to lose the game 2-0.
"But this side has character and that is evident in training seeing as nobody wants to even lose a practice game."
The Nerazzurri are set to be without star striker Adriano though, as he is expected to take around 10 days to recover from a shoulder injury.
