Inter central defender Alessandro Bastoni has shared his belief that the character shown in last night’s win over Parma is exactly what Inter need during this time.
Inter fell behind early doors through a Gervinho goal and probably should have found themselves further behind but somehow managed to keep the scoreline down.
Stefan de Vrij headed in an equaliser for Inter and moments later Bastoni nodded home to put Inter 2-1 up with just minutes to spare. Inter managed to see out the remainder of the game and secured themselves an all important three points.
“I managed to enjoy this goal more than the one I scored against Lecce,” Bastoni, who has had a first team breakthrough at Inter this term, remarked in an interview with Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia.
“We knew that we were coming up against a difficult team who had the characteristics to hurt us. It was a strange game where we fell behind but our character showed and I think that’s what we need right now.”
The Italian youth national team defender proceeded to speak on Inter’s high intensity style of play.
“The game we play takes a lot of energy but it is a philosophy that we have undertaken with the coach and we carry it out. We know there are risks but we are ready for them, we are physically well and we have worked hard. Whoever is physically better will prevail.”
This season the 21-year-old has made 21 appearances across all competitions to date. During his time on the park, which totals just over 1600 minutes, he has scored two goals.
