Former Inter midfielder Andrea Pirlo has shared his views on the Nerazzurri following their recent Derby D’Italia defeat to Juventus.

“It was already known that Juve was stronger but Inter must continue in the way they have been. They are building an interesting project and over time Antonio Conte’s work will pay off,” he remarked in an interview with Milan based news outlet Gazzetta dello Sport.

He concluded by sharing his delight at the improved quality across the board in Serie A.

“The good news of this season so far is that the level of our football in general has risen.”
