de Vrij: “An incredible feeling, this team has great character”

MILAN - He scored a vital goal in the Derby back in March last year to help Inter to a 3-2 win. Less than twelve months down the line, Stefan de Vrij was right at the heart of things once more, gifting the Nerazzurri the lead before Lukaku sealed it with our fourth. Stefan certainly knows how to decide games: rock solid in defence, lethal in attack. Our Dutchman spoke to Inter TV after the final whistle of a magical match: “We’re so happy with the win, but we also know that there’s room for improvement. We did especially badly in the first half and they deserved to be ahead. We showed character to get back in the game and get the win.

“The Coach made us understand what he wanted and where to improve during the break, fortunately we scored two goals in quick succession and we were back in the game. We won. The goals were incredible feelings and memories that will last forever. Winning is a unique feeling. It’s tight in the table so we have to continue like this and win our games. We’ll start focusing on Napoli now because it won’t be an easy game on Wednesday.”
