After the hard earned victory against Udinese, this is what Inter coach Stefano Pioli had to say to SKY: “We were always in the game, even if we made a lot of errors. We wanted to go home with a good result and with a good performance. I’m happy for the guys who fought hard for the three points and it’s a signal to us that all the work we’ve done pays off. The future depends on the every day work, nothing else. But there is still some work to be done, today we suffered a goal and in offense we missed a lot of good opportunities.

With the transfer market open, is the team in optimal shape? “The players are professional, we are all united and the club does a great job supporting us. But we have to be in the present and not in the future. We are still behind so all focus on Chievo now in order to continue the streak.”

Before the arrival of Pioli only Icardi scored. I want all of my players to position themselves in the area and Mauro did a great job for the team today, for example the assist to Perisic’s equaliser. It’s more difficult for our opponents if there are more players in the area.”

Meanwhile, Gagliardini doesn’t play for Atalanta today. Given the players that are on their way out, we need a midfielder. We all like Gagliardini and the club will fix that. We’ll see what happens next week. Now Brozovic will miss the next game.”
