Nef enjoys Inler reunion
Monday 21 July, 2008

Swiss defender Alain Nef has settled at Udinese and is relishing the chance to play alongside compatriot Gokhan Inler.

Nef signed from Piacenza this summer after a superb season with the Papaveri in Serie B.

Before moving to Italy, Nef spent four years at FC Zurich, where he played alongside talented midfielder Inler.

And the 26-year-old is thankful for Inler’s presence at the Stadio Friuli during his first few weeks at the club.

“I really like it here and I have got to know my teammates really well,” Nef told the Udinese Channel.

“It has helped me a lot that Inler is here. It is a lot easier to settle in when you know one teammate really well.

“When I spoke to him about coming here he said that with us playing together we had a chance of winning the title!

“Serie A is obviously much more difficult than Serie B and the play is faster and more tactical.

“The important thing for me is to play, it doesn’t matter where. I want to learn as much as I can so that I can prove myself.”
