Inter proved their newfound maturity in last night’s 2-1 win at Parma, according to an Italian media report today.
Corriere della Sera’s print edition pointed out that while things did not go as smoothly for the Nerazzurri as they would have liked, they know how to suffer and strike at the right moment.
What is clear is that Inter never stop playing, even if not all of their players are performing well on the day.
After a poor first half, Antonio Conte’s side came out a much better side in the second half and Alexis Sanchez made the most notable improvement in terms of performance.
The Chilean national team player was among the worst performers in the first half but the former Barcelona player then scored both of Inter’s goals at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.
While Inter were made to fight until the end, Samir Handanovic was ultimately put in no danger other than at Hernani’s goal for the hosts.
Conte’s side have moved six points clear of second-placed AC Milan with 13 games remaining.
