Lautaro into double figures: "We'll need to fight until the very end"

“These are three very important points because we lost our last match. We worked hard and managed to get this win, even if we had to dig in. I think that all our matches will be similar to this from now until the end of the season, and we need to be ready to do battle. I hope to score as many goals as possible: if I achieve the maximum, it means that I’ve given everything for the team, something that gives me a sense of calm. My objective is to help take Inter to the top and lend a hand to my teammates and the staff while also bringing joy to the fans. Wearing the captain’s armband today was a source of pride. We’ve lost a lot of points and need to make up lost ground, but we shouldn’t keep looking above us. We went into tonight’s match 13 points behind and have now closed the gap, but Napoli are playing tomorrow. We must only focus on our game, improve every day and continue pushing forward. We’ll face Atalanta before next week’s derby and need to recover because they play a special kind of football. We’ll also need to fight hard in that game because the Coppa Italia offers the opportunity to reach another final, like the one we beat AC Milan in.”

“It wasn’t easy to win here after the match against Empoli. It’s a difficult place to play, but we prepared for the game well. We had a lot of shots and put together some nice moves. We’re Inter and need to try to win against everyone we play. What matters most is our attitude. I work with the midfielders a lot with the aim of coming up with different movements and combinations; we’re trying to create space so that we can move into the opposition half while, at the same time, remaining very focused. Cremonese sat very deep today, allowing us to advance high up the pitch. Out of all the characteristics of a defender, being focused is the most important thing. After my booking, I played with a sense of calm without thinking about it.” ”
