“Normal that when you come to three consecutive defeats you have to win a game. Today I saw a close-knit team, it was a good performance. I am very proud of my players, I always want to see this. We only gave 2 to 3 occasions to the opponent from our mistakes, otherwise we controlled the game and created chances.” This was the analysis of Frank De Boer to Premium Sport after the 2-1 win against Torino. “The club’s support is very important, but it always begins from our team’s attitude. But we shouldn’t play like this only today, but always: against Samp, against Southampton, every day we have to work hard.”

“After three defeats – says the Dutchman – it becomes difficult, I can only work hard with all the technical staff who have been close to the players. I have great confidence in the team and even the fans have supported us tonight, I’m very happy.” Then talking about the play created from the defence, “I always want to build the game from behind, but you have to understand when you can manage it and when not. In the first half we gave some small chances to the opponent. For me it is important to play with courage, that’s my philosophy. You have to play the ball from behind and create chances, we played well today: I am very happy and proud of the team. ”

There is also talk of the Gabigol exclusion: “His time will surely come, but we are in a difficult time and he’s not used to playing in these rhythms. He is working hard and training well, it’s just a matter of time. My situation now is more stable? a little. We must always win the game, but for me it’s important how you win. Today I saw a team that I really like, it is a step forward for us but with Samp I don’t step backwards “. Closing on Icardi, author of the two Nerazzurri goals: “He’s a fantastic player, he always sets an example to the team. We know the story in his book, but in training and in the match he always gives 100%.”
