— Oct 1st 2024Champions League Poker for Inter: The words of the Nerazzurri players after the victory against Crvena zvezda.
Four Goals and Three Points: Continuity follows the solid performance against Manchester City and the victory in the league against Udinese. In the first seasonal win in the UEFA Champions League, there were many impressive plays and positive signs. Here are the comments on the success at San Siro from Carlos Augusto, Zielinski, and De Vrij:
“It was an extremely important victory to demonstrate the strength of the group. We made many changes compared to the match in Udine, which is why it was a great success. We knew it would be a difficult game and that they would sit deep. After the first goal, they opened up, and we played well. We need to continue like this. The season is still very long. In this early part of the season, there are teams doing very well, and Torino is one of them. We must not give up, we are Inter. We play every match to win.”
Carlos Augusto
“The feeling is good. We won a difficult match, especially in the first half where our opponents had the strength to press. They put us under some pressure with a few counter-attacks but we were clever and showed our quality. We are satisfied with the victory. It was very important to start well. Calhanoglu scored a fantastic goal. He has a magical foot and took full advantage of the free kick. We created many opportunities to score even more goals. The more we score the better but the important thing was to win. We need to be even more driven and hungry to win as many matches as possible. In the future, we will have some difficult away games. Teams want to show themselves in Europe and will try to make things difficult for us but we must play the way we know with our quality. For now, though let's focus on Torino.”
Piotr Zielinski
“We created, played, and dominated the match against a team with a lot of physicality and quality. We did well to move the ball around and create chances so we need to continue working this way. We worked hard. They had physical and fast players and we had to be careful. We suffered a few counter-attacks. There's still work to be done but we will continue to do it. Personally, I always try to work hard in training to be ready when needed like today.”
