Curtis Jones Settles at Inter Milan and Talks Serie A Challenge

Life in Italy for Curtis Jones

Curtis Jones believes playing in Serie A is not much different from his time in the Premier League. The 25 year old midfielder moved to Inter Milan from Liverpool during the summer and has settled in well with the Italian champions. Some critics think Italian football is easier or slower, but Jones disagrees with that view.

Speaking to DAZN, Jones explained that opponents change their style when facing top teams. He stated that games seem slower because opposition sides drop deep into a low block instead of pressing high. According to Jones, the exact same thing happened when he played for Liverpool.

Fan connection and squad news

Inter supporters have quickly taken a liking to the midfielder. A social media video recently showed fans on a coach wearing masks depicting his face while singing his name. Jones noted that the strong bond in Milan reminded him of his home town.

He recalled playing against Inter in the Champions League and noticing the connection between the squad and the crowd. He said that special link made his choice to join the club very easy.

Meanwhile, league leaders Inter face a fresh injury issue before taking on struggling Fiorentina. Wing back Luis Henrique suffered an adductor strain, which was confirmed by scans on Friday. The Brazilian player was a late substitute in the midweek Champions League victory over Shakhtar Donetsk. He is now expected to be out until after next month's international break.
