Darmian, the match winner: "We are all important, these three points are essential"

MILAN – Against Sassuolo, a delightful performance playing at left centre-back. Against Cagliari, he started on the right, then during the match, he switched to the left. This posed no problem for Matteo Darmian, nevertheless: it was exactly his move to the left that won the game for Inter. The goal came from a beautiful phase of play on the right, with Hakimi’s pass to the centre followed by a through ball and a left-foot finish to give Inter three points and their eleventh consecutive victory.

Matteo Darmian got his third goal of the season, having also scored against Borussia Dortmund and Genoa. A very important goal, as told through the DAZN microphones: “We were up against a goof team that defended well from the first whistle. When you play against teams that are closed, it is difficult to find space but we managed to unlock the game. In this team, everyone feels like a valued, important member.”

The table speaks for itself: “But there are still several games left to play, we need everyone. The group hug with Conte? The coach is passionate and always has heart: he infects us with his passion and his will to win. It was a difficult game and bringing home the three points was important to keep the others at bay: on a psychological level, we have made an important step.”
