Vertical play, solid defense, personality. And he also climbed to first place, at least until the Milan match!“noted the Italians.
Inter climbed to first place in Serie A, tied on points with Napoli and AS Roma. However, the position of Cristi Chivu's team could be threatened until the end of the stage. AC Milan can go top, but only if they win at home against Fiorentina.
