Inter advance in Coppa Italia and reach the semi-final of the competition after a match involving many different key-players. The match against Lazio was opened up by Arnautovic's spectacular strike and sealed by Calhanoglu. Another clean sheet and a mature display from Simone Inzaghi's side, who spoke about the win:
“I think we played well against a really good side. We suffered a bit in the first half because we were not totally united, but them we did well to break the deadlock with Arna's brilliant goal. We did better in the second half, I am proud of the lads, who are giving everything for this jersey. AC Milan? We will think about them in April, we have a lot of matches coming up. We're lacking a bit out wide, Carlos and Zalewski are out and Darmian got injured tonight, but we must carry on match by match, we know what is coming up. Tonight, I received a lot of important answers, I have players who aren't at their best, but they didn't hold back: Frattesi and Taremi had issues, but played without hesitation to help the team. Arna's goal? We worked on set-pieces this morning, we know he has quality on the ball and he was there to show it. Martinez? He is a great goalkeeper, he had a great campaign last year with Genoa. Sommer, who is having a great season, is ahead of him. We knew that he'd play in Coppa Italia. I wasn't in a rush, I knew he would do well: he is a serious lad who has settled in well and works really hard. ”
