Todays Man om The Match at the Stadio Luigi Ferrari was undoubtedly Rodrigo Palacio who thanks to his brace keeps Inters hopes of participating in next years Champions League alive. After the match he was interviewed by Italian Sky and it was a humble man who greated the questions with a smile: “I hope that we’ve restarted our hunt. It was very important to start winning again, it’s been a tough few days but today we played really well. Today’s win helps us, we get to restore some confidence back in the team and now we’re looking forward to the game against Atalanta where we again will come up against a difficult opponent.”

Palacio Inter’s savoiur? No, no, I only score the goals, full stop. The win however belongs to the team, it was very important that we didn’t concede any goals today. In fact it was fundamental today as we went through some very difficult periods today. Derby for me against Samp? What counts is that we win, of course I’m very happy given my history with Genoa as I’m sure you’re all aware of.”

A short while later he was interviewed by Premuim Calcio: “It was very important to win today because we found ourself in a very tight spot. Today we showed character, now I have to keep on working hard in order to keep scoring more goals. The third spot? I think that if we win on Sunday we might be there….” he concludes.
