Inter Milan defender Francesci Acerbi is happy being part of a first preseason with the Nerazzurri.

Acerbi joined Inter in January on-loan before signing permanently last month.

He said: “It's always nice and fun to start over and reunited with your teammates. Last season we did very well in the last two months, in all competitions.

“The group bonded in the decisive matches and we have to start from that. We must always help one another. The most important thing is always the group.

“My personal goal is to improve and give my all, knowing that last season went well. But now I have to start over with new stimuli and new motivations.

“Always looking forward and never back, always giving something extra. We'll grow together."
