DUSAN Tadic believes that playing at the San Siro – one of the most famous stadiums in world football – will pump Saints full of motivation to claim a famous win in their Europa League tie against Inter Milan tonight.

Saints head to Italy full of confidence. They have gone unbeaten in seven games in all competitions and sit top of Europa League Group K after two matches.

In contrast, tonight’s group stage opponents, Inter, flounder at the opposite end of the group, having lost both of their games.

They are also having difficulties on and off the field.

The Italian side sit a disappointing 11th in Serie A and their captain Mauro Icardi has fallen out with the club’s fans over controversial comments in his new book.

Tadic reckons that, all this combined, as well as his feeling that playing at the San Siro will drive Saints on, makes it a real opportunity to claim a famous triumph at one of the most famous club’s in world football.

“It’s nice to play at big stadiums like the San Siro. It’s special and I think everyone has more motivation to play,” he said.

“It’s a big opportunity for us,” he added. “But this is a really big club and here if you don’t win one or two games it immediately starts to become much bigger pressure.

“I think for them they want to win every match, but we do too. It’ll be an interesting game.”

He continued: “We are really excited to play here against a big team like Inter. We know it will be a tough match because they have a good team and coach.

“We’ve prepared well and we want to take three points.”

While Claude Puel has constantly rotated many of his players – meaning most have had a rest – Tadic has played in all eleven games so far this term, on top of three games for his national team, Serbia.

The playmaker, who has been in superb form, is not concerned about maintaining his level of performances despite the punishment his body is taking.

“I feel really good physically,” he said. “The national team and the coaches here give me good opportunity and good role to show my quality.

“It is possible to be even better, but together we can become better and better. It’s important to work hard to be better players.”

He added that he is feeling very good and is looking forward to facing Inter and moving closer to the knockout stages of the Europa League.

“I expect an open game because both teams like to play good football and to dominate possession and the game,” he said.

“It will be an interesting game for the fans, but I hope we will be the stronger team.”
