Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi is happy with how his team played in their 2-1 friendly win over PSG earlier today.
Speaking to InterTV after the match, via FCInter1908, the coach gave his thoughts following the match, also noting that the team could still use some more polish.
Inter have now played the second of two friendly matches during their preseason tour of Japan.
Having drawn 1-1 with Al-Nassr in the first, the Nerazzurri won the second. They dispatched French champions PSG by a 2-1 scoreline.
It wasn’t necessarily a result that came easy.
At the start of the second half, the Parisians went 1-0 through midfielder Vitinha. It was PSG who looked to be the ascendant force, as they dominated possession.
However, in the second half of the match, the Nerazzurri came to grips with things.
They clawed back some possession, and started to look more threatening.
Two late goals from substitutes Sebastiano Esposito and Stefano Sensi saw Inter run out 2-1 winners. Both came via assists from summer signing Davide Frattesi.

“There’s still a lot that we have to work on,” Inzaghi added. “But I’m happy with the application that I’m seeing from the guys.”
Of the tour of Japan, the coach said that “We’ve worked hard here.”
