“We are very happy for our fans, they have helped us to try to overcome the difficult times we faced with Inter.
In these matches you have many difficulties, I faced them with a good defense and a downstream. We are satisfied with the point we have won against one of the greatest powers in Europe, I was convinced of our chances. I hit the bar too, it could work better.
We were always very focused on the ground. Everyone thought Inter would win, but our players didn't discourage.
When you meet such a strong team you know that the game is made up of phases, some of them very difficult. We were ready. We had well placed lines on the ground, we had a good defense and occasions in attack to do harm to Inter.
We have been together for a few days and we are satisfied with the work that the team is doing. We are happy, but we also offered good performances against Chelsea and Liverpool. In the big competitions we manage to bring something special, we must be good to bring the same attitude to the championship.
Also, we must understand that nothing has been done yet, we need the same performance against River Plate. I know the fans are very happy, but we go step by step, “he said, quoted by tuttomercatoweb.com.
I understand that many have not believed in us, I know how hard it is to play against these teams. We were convinced we would have a chance. When you are technically inferior you have to organize yourself well to try to do something. We are here to compete and give our best. We want to go through the groups, to see how the next two matches will run
