The Nerazzurri coach: ‘I hugged each one of the boys, they deserve it.’
‘After the 3-0 win against Napoli, Simone Inzaghi was clearly satisfied with his Inter’s performance. ‘In the first half, we started very well even scoring with Thuram, but that goal got disallowed for just few centimetres – explained the Inter coach to DAZN. Today we faced the Champions of Italy. We faced a tough challenge, but I’m very happy.’ ‘I hugged each one of the boys, becayse they deserve this – he added.
‘It was the fifth away game in the last six matches; winning like this in Naples makes us very happy, but we know the job is not done and there is still a lot of work to be done. This display was a demonstration of strength and teamwork – he continued.
‘After 18 minutes, De Vrij got injured, but I didn’t want to move Darmian from the right, so I chose to go wth Carlos Augusto, who did very well in the back, despite not playing in that position for many months – Inzaghi continued analyzing the game.
‘We needed a performance like this – he added. In the second half, we became masters of the field – he continued. The more you keep Napoli away from your area, the better. Few times we suffered in the game, it was mostly because we dropped too deep in our half.’
Then few comments on the attacking duo. ‘Thuram and Lautaro like Milito and Eto’o? Absolutely, one plays more in the box and the other moves around him – said the Nerazzurri coach. Lautaro has been doing this for years, while Marcus arrived this year with a lot of passion. At the same time we can’t forget that we have 2 more forwards behind them who can always help us’ he added.
‘We made many changes this summer but the team has had more than 3 excellent and unexpected months. ‘Carlos Augusto hadn’t played as the third defender for almost two years, but he did it with great quality tonight – the Nerazzurri coach reiterated talking about the Brazilian’s performance. I had talked to him, and I knew he could be an alternative.‘
Then some comments on the injured player. ‘Next week, we’ll try to include Bastoni. Then we’ll see the conditions of De Vrij and Dumfries. There is less optimism for De Vrij – he explained. In ten to fifteen days, Pavard should also return.’
Is Inter dominating the league? Tomorrow they will write that we have no rivals, but on Wednesday, at 3-0 in the first half, they were already preparing other headlines – Inzaghi concluded. We are used to it; the boys know what they need to do.’
