and Samuel Eto’o scored two goals later in the match to secure all three points for the Nerazzurri.
Moratti was all praise for his team and acknowledged the great response from the players. He revealed that the side looked a bit tired after Tuesday’s majestic win over AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 in the first leg of the Coppa Italia but stated that this was a vital win for
the defending Serie A champions.
“It isn’t easy to react with 10 men, but the team gave a great response. I thought the players were more tired, which with a Coppa Italia game on Tuesday was entirely understandable, but their character overcame fatigue. This bodes well for the upcoming
matches,” the President was quoted as saying in an interview.
The Italian insisted that the team’s temperament is the prime reason that Inter have achieved so much in the past few years. He added that the players looked confident and focussed in the fixture and this quality has become a trademark of the Internazionale
team in the recent past.
“This was a show of strength for many reasons. We saw a confident and intelligent side that never lost their heads or its focus within the game. If http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 won everything for five consecutive years, then this mentality and self-belief is among the reasons,”
the 66-year-old concluded.
Inter Milan are currently second in the Italian Serie A with 66 points and are trailing leaders AC Milan by 8 points. The Nerazzurri have won 20 of the 34 fixtures in the ongoing 2010-11 season. Out of the remaining 14 matches, they lost 8 and drew 6.
