Juan Guilherme Nunes Jesus

What a gem we have on our hands here... ABSOLUTE BEAST.

He honestly made Matias Silvestre look like such a waste of a signing. I've been very impressed with his progress thus far.

Juan Jesus on Sportmediaset: "Here for long haul"

APPIANO GENTILE - Juan Jesus didn't put a foot wrong in yesterday's win over Partizan Belgrade, and the Brazilian appeared as a guest on Sportmediaset as he gave an exclusive interview to Marco Barzaghi on Italia 2.

"Am I tired after yesterday? No, never. I'm always ready. We picked up three important points, all the more so because we did it in front of our fans. Winning breeds success and it's so much easier when things are going well."

He'll be back in action in the league on Sunday. The Nerazzurri meet Bologna, Sampdoria and Juventus in the space of 7 days, in a week which could be huge in the context of Inter's season: "First and foremost we're thinking about our next match. Let's play well, get the win we need and then we can start to think about our next two opponents.

"Are Inter in the hunt for the title? Yes, we always aim to be, this is a big club. You win when you've got togetherness and we have a great squad. I do my job and I'm happy that Stramaccioni has confidence in me. I'd played a lot for Brazil over the summer and I hoped to get game time here and that's been the case. The Olympics were important for me because they gave me confidence."

He then talks about his friendship with Philippe Coutinho ("He's like a brother to me. We're both Brazilian and our families socialise together") and his understanding on the pitch with Andrea Ranocchia: "They're talking about the two of us being the central defence pairing of the future? I really hope so but the whole team is playing well, not just us two. My aim is to keep working at Inter for a long while yet and to do a good job."

Jessus and Renochia are a perfect due, they absolutely compliment each other

our backline is very secure nw. silvestre is a really bad signing, we should have bought a younger player to replace samuel in the coming years

btw why no one made a thread for our league game against bologna?

JJ playing this season: 9 games 5 goals conceded.
Without Jesus: 7 games 9 goals conceded.

Very odd!

I guess everyone was too busy watching the game...

He's a very good defender but sometimes he can be wreckless. You can tell he's going to be great, now I just hope we don't sell him when he peaks
