Empoli striker Andrea Pinamonti: I won't celebrate if I score against Inter Milan

Empoli striker Andrea Pinamonti says he's ready for tonight's clash with parent club Inter Milan.

Pinamonti knows victory will kill off Inter's title hopes.

“I want more, but if I score against Inter, I won't celebrate," he told Gianlucadimarzio.

“It's my best season, a fundamental campaign for me. Empoli have helped me find new motivations and I hope I've repaid their trust. It's a starting point and I hope more seasons like this will come."

Pinamonti was one of the many clients of Mino Raiola who passed away last weekend.

“It was a huge blow, I had a special rapport with him," the striker said.

“He was like a father and he was a reference point for younger footballers. You could always count on him. He was a fantastic person, only those who knew him can say how he really was."
