"Inter rival, but I and De Vrij are friends. They are the media that want us to fight"

"The clubs are rivals, not us." Interviewed by De Telegraaf, Matthijs de Ligt thus speaks of the relationship that binds him to his compatriot Stefan de Vrij, limiting competition to Inter and Juventus. "In the Netherlands we are committed to the same thing: qualifying for the European championship and playing the best possible. Obviously we both want to play, but at the same time we love each other and we hope to do well if one of us plays. Especially the media want to fight between Stefan and me. But this is certainly not the case "says the Juventus defender with confidence.

"Turin-Milan is an hour away, we recently had a bite to eat after a game," continues the former Ajax. "It's nice to talk occasionally Dutch. We also give advice. Stefan helps me with many things and it's very nice if you're new to a country. He's used to it in Italy, I've just arrived."

"In the previous period of international matches, I had a good one feeling also with the National team. Of course, I didn't play too well against Inter the day before, even though we won 2-1. But in the three previous matches it went really well – emphasizes De Ligt -. I continued that line. The fight with Inter is definitely exciting: we both want to win the most games ".
