Inzaghi: "An excellent response after the Supercoppa"

“It wasn’t easy for us today after our defeat in the Supercoppa Italiana final. The lads were excellent because we came here tired and bruised, but we played well. In the second half, all our moves could have led to a second goal, but Stankovic was excellent today. It wasn’t an easy game, but we’ve come away with an important win. The fact that Inter hit the headlines after a defeat means we’ve improved. We’ve done a lot in the past few years and it hurts to have lost the derby in the final, but now we have to look ahead because we’ve picked up 43 points and are going well. However, we’re also aware that other teams are going at the same pace, so we mustn’t stop. I’m counting on Frattesi; he’s very much part of the project. He’s working hard and did really well after coming on today. He’s a player who has given us so much satisfaction, and I’m very happy with his performances. We hope to have Calhanoglu and Acerbi back for the Bologna game. We’ll assess Mkhitaryan tomorrow, but the aim is to try to get everyone back as soon as possible.”
