Lucio: The burn is caused by a friend pouring alcohol into the fireplace. When we hit Barcelona, ​​we parked a bus in front of the door.

Inter Milan legend Lucio was interviewed by Milan Sports Daily and talked about topics such as Inter Milan and his own burn accident.

What is the current situation?

"It will take a few months to fully recover, but I can say the worst phase is over. Hospitalization is the hardest part, the real trauma. Burns are a very difficult injury, both physically and psychologically. I'm still receiving skin treatments, the process is long, but it's getting better".

What do you remember about the accident?

"It happened suddenly, when I was having dinner at a friend's house, and I had just celebrated my 47th birthday on May 8. At one point the fire went off, and unfortunately a friend tried to re-lit the flames and splashed a can of alcohol on it, and then an explosion occurred. I only remember the flames plunged on my face, arms and legs. My wife was not injured, and I jumped into the pool. On May 21, I was transferred from Brasilia to Rio Grande Sul, and I remember clearly that I couldn't sleep due to pain. I've never spent so long in the hospital, and surgery was necessary for removing tissues and special dressings. I also want to send a message at this moment, is it OK?"

Please tell me.

"My experience must remind us how important it is to take care of ourselves and others. I have experienced things that I never imagined, but I learned sometimes to avoid tragedy with just a little: attention, sober, simple movements. Take care of yourself and protect yourself: it is worth it. But luckily, there is... Inter Milan now".

Yes, how is the team going?

"We also start with trauma...digesting last season's ending was difficult, but it all comes from it. Revenge will be decisive, even when recalling last year's fiasco."

What are your impressions of former teammate Ziwo?

"He seems to be there all the time! It's a pride to think of one of us coaching the team 15 years later. Thinking of him, I think of our great defense, and our desire to help each other can still bring inspiration. I think of the night against Barcelona: We still joked that the bus was parked in front of the goal, and to cheer me up and relieve my tension, Christian told me that we would let go of Messi. That's the case. Now he has to show his ability and ability on the court, but as a defender, I like his new concept of oppression."

What is your former teammate’s priority?

"Start with the big names left behind: Lautaro and Toulam are unmatched in Italy, although this time with Bremer will be a tough battle because they will face an extraordinary defender who changes Juventus over any new player. And Calhan, despite being criticized, is the best playmaker in the league, the Italian in the team, from Barrera to Dimarco, rarely makes mistakes. Having said that, the first priority for me is to rectify the defense..."

How to do it?

"It will be very helpful to add experienced players like Akanji. For such a strong team, conceding too many goals is a problem, and you must be willing to be individually guarded and endure hardships for the team. If everyone rows in the same direction, you can have a different season and have a specific chance of winning the championship. It is always complicated not to concede too many goals in Turin, but Inter can do it."

How do you view the new Brazilians of the Nerazzurri?

"We hope to see him, and at the same time... I've followed some of Luis Enrique's development in Ligue 1, a physically fierce and fast league: I believe he can bring quality and add something important to Inter. A stalemate against Juventus may require a little Brazilian crazy and dribbling."

Ending with memories: What is the "Italian derby" in your career?

"2009-10 Italian Cup quarterfinals, 2-1, Lucio opened the first record. A toe shot. That moment was engraved in my mind: because of the game itself and the joy at that time. Although I would actually be even more happy at the end of the season."
