Carlo Ancelotti got a pleasant surprise this Saturday after his side managed to defeat Inter Milan 4-1 in the Audi Cup summer tour with a Julian Green hat-trick. The American player played in front of a crowd that supported him due to his nationality and didn't disappoint, after the match he was very pleased with his performance and expects to be important for Carlo Ancelotti during the regular season.
He told reporters that: "I'm a striker. That's my job. To score goals is always good for me, but that's soccer. One day it's not so good. The other day, it's better. I can play on the left wing or the right wing or in front. It doesn't matter to me. I'm really proud and happy to have these guys around me. I'm very happy to play with them. I can learn a lot from them. I work hard every day. That's the only thing I can do. The only thing on my mind is to work hard."
Ancelotti also praised the youngster after the match: "He did very well. He scored three goals. He was great in the box. It was a really good performance. The team built good offensive play and Julian was ready to finish. He trained with us. He will have the opportunity to start and to play. He can play, and he is ready to play. He's improving. He's working well during the training sessions."
Xabi Alonso also added: "Hopefully it will be important for his development. Many American players are playing over in Europe as well as here in the MLS. Whenever they play in the final competitions [World Cup] they are showing great [performances]."
