Inter coach Luciano Spalletti talked to SKY during post-game interviews and this is what he had to say: “Tonight I saw a team that wanted something and a team that was susceptible for input. I think we deserved tonight’s win, although there were some moments where we failed to maintain the right rythm. The positioning of our attacking wingers put Fiorentina in difficulties since it opened up space for our fullbacks. We need to maintain our balance on the other side, but these situations put you in a condition to play against the oppositions defence that is in disarray. To play only on counter attack is an extinct ideology because today football is all about controlling the game. Gagliardini is one of a few players that knows how to play both of these phases.
During the second half, Fiorentina deserved a goal because we lost a lot of balls. We have to do like we did at the beginning: create everything from the back and move possession to our opponents half. When our opponents attack us, spaces open up for us, this is something we have to take advantage of. Today’s analysis is: the defence was right, the team was compact like a rock, both Perisic and Icardi won back possession and these are details that matter because this is the right path. Also, having this kind of support from our fans gave us a lot of enthusisasm and it helped the players performing like they did”.
