The new skin of an Icon, Inter e Nike presentano oggi la nuova divisa Away per la stagione 2021-22. Il nuovo kit da trasferta si pone in continuità con la versione Home, mantenendo al centro il tema del Biscione che cambia pelle e celebra la nuova identità visiva dell’Inter.
Il video hero di lancio della maglia, pubblicato oggi sui canali digital del Club, si focalizza sulla globalità della figura del Biscione nerazzurro: partendo da Milano, i diversi luoghi del mondo si tingono di nerazzurro ed evocano la sua forma grazie al trattamento grafico del video, che richiama i colori e la trama della nuova maglia. Il video celebra l’Inter come icona di Milano ma riconosciuta a livello globale ed esalta l’internazionalità del Club e dei suoi tifosi.
La grafica della nuova maglia Away vede il bianco fare da base al nuovo design, con il serpente nerazzurro disegnato a mano che attraversa la maglia dalla parte anteriore alla posteriore. Completano il kit pantaloncini e calzini bianchi. Lo swoosh è blu con finiture blu/nere sulla manica così come sul calzino.

Entrato nella ripresa di Roma-Debreceni 5-2, Edin Dzeko si è scatenato. Il primo pensiero del bomber bosniaco, però, va ai tifosi romanisti: “Quanto è stato bello rivederli. Ci eravamo dimenticati quanto fosse bello averli con noi. Speriamo che nella prossima stagione gli stadi possano tornare aperti al 100%”.
“Io sto migliorando giorno dopo giorno. Dopo due settimane di ritiro precampionato, piano piano ci stiamo preparando. Come dice il mister, ogni match è importante e si gioca sempre per vincere. Oggi abbiamo fatto una bella partita, segnando qualche gol. Già da domani pensiamo al Portogallo e alle altre gare”.
“Ogni partita vinta ti dà più fiducia, più positività attorno alla squadra. Speriamo di continuare così, per essere al 100% a inizio stagione”.
A margine dell’amichevole, ha parlato anche Filippo Tripi: “Per noi giovani allenarsi con la Prima Squadra tutti i giorni è qualcosa di straordinario. Sono tutti fortissimi. Secondo me, è un’opportunità unica. Vedere dei giocatori così, con questa mentalità, vuol dire che bisogna impegnarsi tanto per arrivare su”.
“Quando sono uscito, avevo i brividi per i tifosi. È qualcosa di spettacolare. Non lo scorderò mai. Spero che si ripeta anche all’Olimpico”.
