Nicolo Barella has expressed his delight following Inter’s hard-fought 1-0 victory at home to Lazio, a result which extends Inter’s winning streak to start the season to five games.

“We knew it would be a difficult match, the manager had told us this. We prepared well for the match and we are all happy with the result and especially our performance in the second half,” he explained in an interview with Inter’s in-house channel Inter TV.

“The manager and my teammates have helped me out a lot. I am feeling trusted and I am getting myself into the right condition.  Am I better playing on the left or on the right of the midfield? I would say the left but I feel good on the right also.”

He concluded with a quick comment on Saturday’s match away to Sampdoria: “We must continue to win in order to satisfy our fans who deserve it.”
