Inzaghi: "We have honoured Inter's birthday"

“We are very happy: we honoured Inter's birthday with a very big victory, increasing our lead over the chasing pack. In the first half, we deserved the lead, then in the second Bologna came out on top and we suffered a bit. Perhaps, we were guilty of having thoughts on the game with Atletico midweek. The first half was excellent, we played good football; in the second, Bologna improved, put us under more pressure and had less control of the game making us play worse technically. We stuck together and defended well, keeping a low block, playing this way more than normal due to Bologna's pressure. It was also our sixth game in 20 days. Scoring a goal from our two full-backs is really pleasing me and all the staff: the boys are doing some outstanding things, but we know there are still ten games to go. These guys have for some time been giving me lots pleasure, trophies and wins. I owe them even more than just a dinner. I think with my family and my staff about all the great things we're doing, but football moves fast and we have to be ready every 72 hours: we are doing some outstanding things, but we have not reached our goals yet,; we are all aware of that. Thinking about Wednesday, Atletico are a team that changes a lot between home and away games; we know them well. We will try to prepare as best we can, but the home factor will certainly have an influence. Going forward in the Champions League is an objective that we have set ourselves: today, they had some players out who they will try to recover, but beyond this we are used to matches like this: last year in Porto and Lisbon, the atmosphere was very similar. What Barella did today does him credit: mistakes can happen to both players and coaches, but it's right to realise it when it happens.”
