Inter defender Francesco Acerbi feels that his team’s win against Napoli in Serie A yesterday evening came in a match where a loss would’ve put them out of the title race.
Speaking to InterTV after the match, via FCInterNews, the 34-year-old admitted that the Nerazzurri were on the verge of being too far away from the top of the table before they dragged the Partenopei closer to them.
Inter started off yesterday evening eleven points behind Napoli, an imposing margin to try and make up even with more than half the season to go.
The Nerazzurri still have eight points to make up on the leaders even after handing them their first league defeat of the season.
However, a loss would have meant that the deficit would have grown to fourteen points, a fact which illustrates just how significant the win was in the context of their season.
“If we lost, we would’ve been done for,” Acerbi admitted, “and with a win we knew we could do something special.”
“Today we played well, aggressive, strong, and determined which we know we have to play like from now on, we have to play this way away to Monza and in all the matches from now on.”
