Spalletti: "What a great satisfaction to see our fans happy!"

MILAN - Luciano Spalletti’s Inter side picked up a seventh consecutive league win at the Stadio Meazza, beating Genoa 5-0 in the eleventh round of Serie A fixtures. "To reiterate our current form is the most important thing, because you start from zero again after every win," he said. "We started the game well, showing the right attitude as a team. Then, we were rewarded with the result.

"The most satisfying thing for me was seeing the 70,000 Interisti happy at the stadium today. They’ve always been there, even in the difficult moments, and this shows their love for the colours. To earn applause from these fans is something special.

"The way we managed the ball with great conviction shows how the group has improved, it allows us to test the opposition’s tactics and it lightens the load on our defence, meaning the whole team is involved in both phases of play. In this way, individual quality also comes to the fore. The professionalism of the lads and the serious way they work was shown by the performances of those who have featured less, such as Gagliardini. We put in a quality performance – one that shows the quality we have in this squad."
