Inter full-back Danilo D’Ambrosio spoke to Italian media outlet Sky Sport Italia last night following the Nerazzurri’s 2-0 victory over AC Milan in the Milanese derby.

“We had a great game from all paspects. In particular, we never gave up mentally and physically. The coach told us that those who wanted it more would win this game.”

The former Torino player then discussed his missed chance earlier in the match.

“I’ve given it a lot of thought, but then we still scored.”

D’Ambrosio also touched on the preparations that the Nerazzurri must undertake in order to continue with this momentum.

“In the next games we’ll have to keep our nastiness and concentration like we did this evening. We’ll have to put what the coach asks of us into practice in every match, we have to improve through work to grow in terms of mentality.”

Finally, the Italian full-back discussed Inter’s place at the top of the league table.

“It’s still September. We’re working with our heads down and we’re continuing like this to frighten Juventus and Napoli. Having a coach like Conte raises the bar for you. We’re aware that, by following him, we can be a thorn in the side for everyone.”
