Inter’s coach Andrea Stramaccioni was interviewed by Sky after the game:
“Two things were good. The approach to the game, something we’ve worked hard on. Then, in a state of great difficulty with a numerical disadvantage, we didn’t give in to Milan’s strongest weapon, that is to dribble to the limit. We did not give up but started over with the players we had on the pitch, key characters, today was hard. Scudetto? We ignore the table, we focus on developing. Tonight we showed great character, strong minds: something that indicates strong mentality and excellent organization.”
About the referee:
“I think the referee ruled to the best of his ability. I only lost my patience once for a foul, but then I apologized, It is a sin which I blame on my youth in Serie A.”
‘The expulsion was correct’ is shouted from the studio:
“Was it correct? If you want me to say that the referee hurt Milan, I think you are exaggerating. The player he kicked out was ours! Apart from anything else, I would say that in today’s football en expulsion is condemnation. At the second yellow card, they were in the middle of the pitch and El Shaarawy continued to play. We must recognize..”
“We need to improve the continuity of our execution of the matches. But now the feeling is that there is always a team on the field that can do damage, in short, organized. We started strong, even in the second half with Guarin, but when we became ten men, we suffered and all the guys deserve praise for the three points. The only thing we did not do well was to get Coutinho going. In defense, on the other hand, we did very well against players who can do damage one on one. I am only irritated by two balls Juan dropped where it could have been goals.”
“The only thing that pleases me is when they say that they worked hard on the pitch. Celebration? After Inter-Siena this Curva dedicated a banner to me that I did not feel I had earned. They have always been supportive, some may have whistled, therefore I will not forget, and dedicated this victory to them as well.”
