APPIANO GENTILE - Francesco Coco spoke to the press today during the presentation of the new official Inter kits, designed by Nike for the fifth year running.

Shirt number 77, your favourite?
It’s my favorite number, it’s the year of my birth. I’ve done very well with this number and I wanted to continue playing with this number. I thank Okan who wore this number last year and who was very kind to let me have it. He has been very kind to me.

How are you finding these first few days as an Inter player?
Very well. I’ve found a splendid environment, very serene, where everyone has a great desire to work.

You have the responsibility of playing in a position [left wing] that has caused many ‘victims’?
I play in a great team, the responsibilities are important and I’m ready to accept them.

APPIANO GENTILE – During the presentation of the new Inter kits for the upcoming season, recent signing Francesco Coco chatted to journalists.

You will be an angrier side after what happened at the end of last season!
The anger and the desire to do well will not be missing. We all want to show our worth and we will give our all.

How useful would Nesta be to Inter?
Nesta is very strong, he’s a world class player, but one player isn’t the whole team.

Do you think you will be ready for the Champions League preliminary round?
I think we can do it. We will have trained for a month and in a month you’re not 100%, but you can achieve a good level of physical fitness.

How are you getting on with Cuper?
Very well. He's a very serious coach, he’s very practical.

What’s your interpretation of Ronaldo , Vieri and Recoba ’s gesture?
It was a nice gesture. It’s very important because it was made by them. They have shown great character.
