Davide Frattesi feels that Inter Milan “needed a restart” against Udinese after last weekend’s Serie A loss to AC Milan.
The 24-year-old spoke to Italian broadcaster DAZN, via FCInterNews, after this evening’s 3-2 victory over Udinese.
Inter got back to winning ways at the Bluenergy Arena in Friuli this evening.
It was an up-and-down evening for the Nerazzurri, who needed three goals to ensure three points.
But in the end, Inter got the job done to get the result they needed.
Inter scored very early on in the match through midfielder Davide Frattesi.
However, some sloppy defending allowed former Watford defender Christian Kabasele to equalize for the Friulani.
Then, Inter captain Martinez scored twice either side of halftime to put his team in a commanding position.
A late goal from substitute Lorenzo Lucca made the closing stages very nervy ones for the Nerazzurri. But they held on for the result.
Frattesi: “Inter Needed A Restart Vs Udinese” After AC Milan Loss
Inter midfielder Frattesi said that the performance against Udinese was “What we talked about during the week.”
“Against Milan, we didn’t get the match off to a great start,” the Italian international admitted.
“So we worked on that,” Frattesi said.
“Today things went well. But it was something we wanted to be a restart.”
“You can always lose a match,” the former Sassuolo midfielder noted. “But not the way that we did in the derby.”
“We worked in training during the week. And today we saw something of the old Inter.”
And of his captain Lautaro Martinez, Frattesi said that “Last season he spurred us to win the title.”
“He knows how to score goals,” he added.
Frattesi noted that Martinez “Made a late return to training.”
“He’s played a lot of matches. He didn’t train much with us and that didn’t help him.”
“Now he’s getting back to his best physically,” Frattesi said of Martinez. “This is just the beginning.”
