Cagliari boss Rolando Maran described Inter as ‘a solid team’ following his side’s 2-0 defeat to the Nerazzurri on Saturday.
Goals from Lautaro Martinez and Matteo Politano secured a third win in a week for Luciano Spalletti’s men as they moved up to fourth in the Serie A table, but Maran was satisfied with the performance his side had produced at San Siro.
“We put in a good performance,” he told DAZN after the match. “It’s not easy to play Inter at San Siro and it’s not easy to score against them, because they’re a solid team.
“We played the match we wanted to play though. The team did what I had wanted them to do, with commitment. The game was always in the balance, in the second half we caused them a few problems.”
Maran then went on to praise midfielder Nicolo Barella, a player Inter were linked with in the summer: “he has incredible technique and dynamism and he always produces every weekend.
“He has the right kind of character, I think he’ll have a great career.”
