Frattesi: "It's crucial to score early: it’s a lucky stadium for me”

“This stadium brings me good luck. Scoring early helped us. Yesterday, Asllani kept telling me I would score, so I’ll have to treat him to dinner. Our approach against AC Milan wasn’t the best, and we worked hard on it during the week. Today went well, but it needs to be just the beginning. We were disappointed. You can lose matches, but not like last week. Today, we saw a glimpse of the old Inter again, as we put in a lot of work throughout the week. I joked with Lautaro. Last year he helped us win the championship. He knows how to score and has always done so, but we can't expect him to net a goal in every match. He has played a lot and didn't join us for the pre-season training, so he’s just getting back into shape, and we’re still at the start.”

“Before arriving here, I played on the left, but I do what I'm asked. If the coach tells me to play on the left, right, up, down, or even in goal, it doesn't matter to me. I follow the instructions. We were coming off a defeat, and it’s always difficult to react. We prepared very well and needed to give our best, and I think we earned these three points. We played a great match and could have scored more, while they equalized with their first opportunity. However, we stayed focused on the game, and that's how you win these matches.”
