— SundayGoals from Carlos Augusto and Lautaro Martinez lead us to an important win: the Inter Coach shared his thoughts at the end of Atalanta 0-2 Inter
A brilliant evening for Inter as we secured a very important win thanks to a true show of strength away to Atalanta. Goals from Carlos Augusto and Lautaro Martinez in a clash that ended with another clean-sheet against the second-best attack in the league, after Inter's, now with 65 goals scored. Inzaghi's side consolidated top spot in the league and are now on 64 points, three ahead on Napoli in second and six ahead of Atalanta. The thoughts of the Inter Coach at the end of the match:
“I am really happy with the team's performance as a Coach. We came to Bergamo with personality, we could've finished the game even earlier but we hit the post, had Lautaro's goal ruled out and also Frattesi's narrow miss. We fought a lot against a top side and we didn't give much away against a side who had scored 63 goals like us. I have to compliment the players because we can do important things with this spirit. We played really well, we've read all sorts over the past few weeks, but when you see performances like this, you know that the team has it in its DNA. We were at the end of an exhausting cycle, and I'm satisfied. There are still nine games to go, we have lots of others, but I can't ask anything more from the team. When you play Atalanta, you need a lot of things: pace, determination, aggression and technical quality. They are different games every time, but they're always thrilling. The game tonight was also great, with two teams going head-to-head and who are deservedly at the top of the table. We want to play as many games as possible, but we also know how football is, we know what we are doing. We are happy to play lots of matches. Now, it's the international break and then we will face Udinese, have the Coppa Italia semi-final, we can't look back. We have to carry on in this way. I hear everything that is said, but we all know that sport is like this, we don't make too many calculations and we will try to play our best in every match until the end. Dumfries? He felt some tightness, he seemed ok but we will need to assess him. ”
