With Tino Pérez, Movistar Inter is a much more intense team, more aggressive in a good way, with a lot of mobility, very committed and united
Nuno Dias, coach of the Portuguese team, said: “The clubs are the same, but the individualities are different. We are not the same as in 2019 and neither are Inter. I saw him many times this year because I like futsal and I like to watch different championships. Not only did they change players, but also the coach. They are different game models, different characteristics. It is a much more intense team, more aggressive in a good way, with a lot of mobility. They got great results, it is a very committed and united team and that is synonymous with great quality. They will put us in great difficulty. “
