Inzaghi’s words

Simone Inzaghi holds on to the 1-0 win over Venezia: “Important victory, well deserved because the team did a great first half, where we missed 2-3 sensational chances. At the beginning of the second half they created problems for us, then we settled down. We made it 1-0, but we lacked cynicism, you can&#39t get to the end with just one goal left. Honor to Venezia, but there’è nothing to say about Inter’s victory.

“Did I expect an easier match? No, absolutely, Serie A matches are all like thatì. The league è balanced, we are all lì. There will be even more work to be done, even stronger. We have recovered Calhanoglu, we hope to get back 100% Acerbi and to have Carlos back after the break”.

“Third clean sheet in the last 4, but in front we miss too many goals? Tonight sì, but we had scored 3 goals in Empoli and 4 against Juve, we are the second best attack after Atalanta. We need to improve the defensive phase, we are working a lot”.

“Bastoni had a beginning of cramps, I made the change immediately with Bisseck but he had no problems. In the standings we are all thereì I said it would be a balanced league. We saw again tonight that games remain open until the recovery if you don”;

The words of Di Francesco

Eusebio Di Francesco spoke to DAZN after the San Siro defeat: “Sverko’s goal? I don&#39t think the foul is obvious as Marelli says, but the referee&#39s handling was on the other side. To me on the goal it doesn&#39t look like a clear foul. But I want to congratulate the team, which risked something, but created several goal balls”.

“It is okay that Inter can score you at any moment. A draw would have been the right ending for what we è saw, the boys tried until the end to put Inter in trouble. We keep the excellent match, too bad about the result”.

“Transition è Inter’s greatest quality, it is not enough to be good to try to close them down. It can be there when you have a match like that, trying to be on the other side. We got goals when we were lined up very well. A set of things to do better. But we could have scored: in the first half good race with timidity, in the management and approach much better in the second half”.

Comment on Stankovic: “He has the tranquilityà of the young man, today he made the best performance in management, beyond the saves. He gave serenity and confidence until the end, even in handling with his feet. Sometimes you are in a hurry, he is interpreting the work of the team. Of the father right now he has the name”.

Inter-Venezia 1-0

Sunday’s 11th day of Serie A ended with the victory of Inter, which beat 1-0 Venezia shortening on Napoli in the standings, now only one length away pending the direct clash.

At San Siro, in the day’s postponement, the match è opened with a first half full of emotions, in which forò Sommer and Stankovic kept their respective goals inviolate.

Lautaro Martinez (at 65′) però took advantage of a cross from the left by Dimarco to frame and sign the success against the lagooners. In the final però a thrill for the Nerazzurri: Sverko’s goal annulled for a hand foul.

Three golden points for Inzaghi’s men who, while waiting for the Champions League big match with Arsenal, took advantage of Napoli’s defeat to move to -1 from the top of the standings.
