MILAN - LucianoSpalletti’s Inter picked up a third straight win across the Europa League and Serie A, beating Sampdoria 2-1 thanks to Danilo D’Ambrosio and Radja Nainggolan goals. 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."

"In the first half, we were a bit too afraid of making mistakes and this meant that we couldn’t move the ball quickly like how we wanted to. 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."

Finally, he also commented on Nainggolan who was applauded when leaving the pitch: "Radja did things that are in his repertoire. It’s important for us to be backed by his quality."
