The midfielder’s words after Inter thrashed Napoli away at the ‘Maradona,’ with the Italian playing a central role scoring a goal and providing an assist.”
“Napoli are the champion of Italy for a reason: they are very strong. It was right to come here and close up a bit in the beginning due to their quality, but we showed who we are, and what we can do. We will fight until the end.” This is how Nicolò Barella, who scored a goal and assisted one commented at the end of the match in an interview with DAZN.
Your first goal of the season, and all your teammates rushed to hug you…”
“I thank my teammates a lot. They stood by me in a difficult moment, which had never happened to me before: I couldn’t create any play, nothing was working, my teammates gave me confidence and made me feel important. I dedicate this goal is to my teammates, my family, my wife, and my daughters.”
Today you scored a goal and an assist. Was yours or Lautaro’s assist for you more beautiful?
“If Calhanoglu didn’t score, my assist is useless. Goals are always a combination of two players. I’m happy that both goals went in, and I am also happy for Thuram’s goal, it was well-deserved.”
The draw with Juve suggests it will be a two-horse race for the Scudetto?
“The championship is very long; we experienced it firsthand. We won one and lost the other. There are many factors; many things can happen. Juve is a difficult team to face due to their playing style. It’s normal to struggle more against them, they are very tough. We are excited, there are many strong teams; it will be a fought championship.”
