Yann Sommer was full of praise for his Inter Milan teammates after the Nerazzurri kept another clean sheet in a 2-0 victory over Genoa at San Siro, with the Switzerland goalkeeper highlighting the collective defensive effort at the club.
Speaking to Sky Sport after the match, with quotes via FCInterNews, Sommer was quick to place the result in its wider context.
Coming just days after the Champions League elimination to Bodo/Glimt, the win represented exactly the kind of response Cristian Chivu had demanded from his squad.
And, indeed, the goalkeeper acknowledged its importance.
“This victory is very important for us after going out of the Champions League,” he said.
“Bodo were very strong, but it was important to react and look forward, and we did that very well.”
Inter 2-0 Genoa – Sommer Proud Of His Defenders
On Inter’s remarkable clean sheet record, Sommer was characteristically team-focused.
“A great team must be strong even after a defeat like the one in the Champions League,” he said.
“Last year we had done well, a shame. You always have to move forward together.”
He then offered a touching tribute to the defenders in front of him.
“For a goalkeeper, it is a pleasure to play behind a defence like this. In many games we defend very well.”
Sommer also identified the key ingredients behind Inter’s defensive strength.
“We want to have control of the game and collective compactness,” he said.
“We are hard in duels and we keep our shape well.”
It is a formula that has served Inter brilliantly across the season.
if chivu has ever think to make alternative tactic into 4 defence instead of 3, the formation of attacking options can be varied. have lautaro n pio as striker, bonny and thuram can be put wider to make it into 4231, thuram seemed more lovely to watch these days when he was put into wider positions. the struggle with 4 def then who will be suitable in the mids and fb
Yeah italian Teams Need to Do Better in cl especially inter
Is It Not Worthy Of Note that in 27 games we have kept 15 clean Sheets and won All the 15 matches and In The Top leagues inter has The Most clean sheet win and Our Clean Sheet percentage is so high boasting an average of 55.56%. An average team Won’t be Able To Do This. Forza inter.
And it’s also of note that italian championship is very bad.
low quality league, norwegian team bodo who will not play CL next season because he finished in the league trashed us. if we actually have bought Lookman in the winter, I think the outcome would be different, I said it many times in the summer, sell Thuram for 60-70mln, there were suitors and buy lookman, we need lookman type of player more than we need thuram!!!
