In the wake of Turkey's triumphant 3-1 victory over Hungary, Hakan Calhanoglu took a moment to speak with Simone Togna from Sportmediaset, reflecting on the match and his ambitions moving forward. With a penalty converted and a crucial part played in securing qualification, the midfielder expressed his delight: "We’ve achieved what we set out to do, even if it was through the playoffs. We’re thrilled to be in League A, where we truly deserve to be. Playing in Hungary is always a challenge, and it's been 13 matches since we last lost. Winning here is no small feat." Calhanoglu was particularly effusive about young talent Arda Guler, who he affectionately referred to as his "little brother." He hinted at a potential future at Inter for Guler but remained tight-lipped, stating, "I've discussed it, but there's nothing more to add. My focus is on him playing more." Then there’s Asllani, who looks up to Calhanoglu and has called him a mentor. “I appreciate those kind words,” said Calhanoglu. “Experience can be invaluable for others. He’s got a lot of talent and deserves more playing time; when he's had the chance, he's delivered.” With ambitions sky-high, Inzaghi, Arnautovic, and Asllani voiced the need for Inter to aim for glory across all four competitions. “We’re trying our utmost to represent Inter as best as we can. The responsibility is huge. We’re on the right path, and we’ll see what unfolds,” Calhanoglu remarked. When pressed about his personal aspirations, he shared, “I’ve already claimed every title in Italy, but my aim is undoubtedly the Champions League. After coming so close two years ago, it’s my dream to not only reach another final but to win it. Retaining the Scudetto is also crucial.” As for the prestigious Ballon d'Or now gracing a playmaker, he mused, “If we win the Champions League or the league, who knows? We’re fighting on all fronts, and we’re improving each match. Achieving that is certainly a goal.” Finally, when asked about what it means to wear the Inter jersey, Calhanoglu couldn't help but express his gratitude: “It means everything. The support from our fans has been unwavering, and it has shaped me as both a player and a person. I’m experiencing a wonderful moment, and I’m thankful for their backing. The atmosphere at Meazza is electric, and we want to give them something special.” And regarding his surprising decision to turn down Bayern Munich last summer? A cheeky smile came forth: “Yes.”
