After the match, the Coach spoke about the importance of this latest win. "It’s a sign of our professionalism. We’re looking to break through this mountain of stuff that is being said about Inter. We’ll fight even harder, as we did today."

After the break, we made use of all our individual quality to haul the team forward. The applause from our fans after the goal to make it 1-1 was wonderful because it gave us energy after the equaliser and allowed us to go again and sort things out."
