The match winner of the match at the Olimpico in Turin, Geoffrey Kondogbia, author of the first goal for Inter in Italy, commented on the match in the mixed zone: “The coach knew that Torino was a very defensive formation. We worked all week because Mancini had prepared for this and we did our best. Winning 1-0 seven times? The important thing is the three points and playing all together. If you attack and defend together it means that everyone has a role in this team. It’s a good thing, then the important thing is to win.”

Difficult start to the season for the Frenchman, but he seems to have finally found the right feeling with the Italian league: “I don’t want to respond to criticism, I focus on myself. It is normal to discuss everything, it is a part of football and has to be accepted. I focus on working and doing the best possible, that is my goal. Medel? We work well together, I already knew him. I played with him in Sevilla, he is one that helps teammates a lot. The competition in midfield is good, we changed formation and men and we managed to win, this is positive.”

Closing on the objectives of the team, with Inter still at the top: “It is still early to say today how far this Inter can go. We showed that we can do good things but we have to work.”
