In an interview with Sky Sport, Inter midfielder Roberto Gagliardini shared his delight having scored a brace in last night’s 4-0 crushing of Genoa.

“I’m happy to have scored, especially because I’ve contributed in two really important wins against Genoa. Goals help to bring confidence while obviously being a reason for personal pride.

“I aim to improve though, I stop after every training session to shoot at goal and to try to keep making the runs which have always been a characteristic of my game.

“It was a really important result, especially when you look at the results from our rivals for the Champions League spots. We did well after the loss on Sunday, we have to be consistent now, starting from the Atalanta game.”

He then spoke on Sunday’s match that will see him come up against his hometown club who are also his former employers.

“For me, Atalanta was the place where I became a man. Obviously, it won’t be a game like the others for me but I can’t wait for Sunday. It will also be my birthday which is extra motivation to do well and celebrate it with a win.”

He concluded the interview with the Italian broadcaster by speaking on Mauro Icardi.

“We’re professionals and we all want what’s best for Inter. Mauro played, he scored and got an assist. The thing to praise is how everyone behaved, we’re only thinking about Inter.”
