June 28th Inter Milan full-back Carlos Augusto accepted an interview with the Milan Sports Daily and talked about the 1/8 final of the Club World Cup against Fruminense.

He said: "This game will be special for me, and I think it will be the same for Louis Enrique, because we all know Fruminense and know what to do. It will be a very tough game, as hard as against the Riverbed, and maybe even harder. I have said in the locker room: We have to keep our level, focus, and be tough in the confrontation."

Will this game be as intense as against the Riverbed?

"No, it may not be that intense... (laughs) But physical confrontation aside, we won the riverbed by technology, and against Fruminense, we need more technology. They showed a high level, we would have risks if we were not focused, but we were ready for everything."

About Fruminense's players

"When a player is strong enough, don't just look at his age, their Argentine center German- Cano is 37 years old, but he is in good shape, knows how to score goals, and is also good at running. There is also Colombia international J Arias, a very strong wing player. "

" Thiago Silva not to mention, he is still at the top level at the age of 40. He is a legend in both Brazil and Italy. Although we have never played football together, we have talked about Serie A, Milan and Brazilian football many times. It is great for me to be able to play with him."
