Inter defender Danilo D’Ambrosio has admitted that on top of securing a big win, he and teammates are happy to have recorded a clean sheet against lowly Brescia.
The natural full back played in the three man backline for the 6-0 triumph over La Rondinelle and he was among Inter’s goalscorers in the match with him heading home Inter’s third goal of the game on the stroke of half time.
“It’s always a pleasure to score goals, but with the amount we scored tonight the important thing was to keep a clean sheet,” he explained in an interview with Inter’s official club broadcaster Inter TV following the full time whistle at San Siro.
“We’re really happy to have scored so many, but we’re also happy not to have let any in, because in recent games we’ve been conceding too many.”
Next he spoke on Inter’s high tempo style of play and insisted that the team have their heads down and are working hard.
“The manager is always looking for input from the wide players. We never drop our tempo, we work hard to win the ball high up the pitch and we work hard to get results. We try to put into practice what he asks us, we work a lot. Our heads are down and we are pedalling.”
Next he was asked what has changed from the 3-3 draw with Sassuolo with Inter having won both of their matches following what was a disappointing draw with the Neroverdi side.
“The mentality. We were disappointed not to get to the final of the Coppa Italia and with the draw against Sassuolo, but we haven’t let our heads drop, because we want to get back to winning ways. The manager doesn’t cut us any slack because he knows that we’re capable of achieving so much.”
The Italian then spoke on the wide range of different goalscorers that Inter have had in the past few games.
“Our mentality is to be more attacking than at the beginning of the season, we press high. The manager asks everyone in turn to push forward, the team is proactive. We have quality and try to put what we do in training into practice in matches.”
