Shortly after the final whistle of the Empoli-Inter game, Inter coach Frank De Boer spoke with SKY:

“We have talked a lot about having the right attitude, not only against “the big” teams, but also against “smaller” teams. Tonight we proved ourselves being on the right path, we started with scoring twice and then lost our concentration a bit. We spent a lot of energy against Juventus, but tonight we were very focused and didn’t give Empoli many chances to score.”

The change of pace with Joao Mario? “Joao Mario e Banega are both important to Inter, but I think today our philosophy of playing is clearer to the players and for me that’s very important. We controlled the game and that’s a thing I always want to see.”

Allegri said their performance in Milan was the worst in 30 years? “For Juventus yes, for us no. We played well, were concentrated and deserved to win. ”

Brozovic? He’s part of the club. He needs to work hard at all times and show that he’s a professional. I’m happy he came along with us on the train to Empoli, he’s being helpful and that’s a first step.”
