We are serene as always, aware of the work done, of how much we have worked to put ourselves in this condition. But there are still games and points to get closer to one of our goals, one of our dreams.

This team has been trying to achieve great things for years. It always tries to be competitive: when you manage Inter, you have great objectives because that's the history.
The squad's depth and determination are evident, with positive updates on the recovery of key players like Lautaro Martรญnez and Alessandro Bastoni. The coach also praised the development of young talents like Petar Sucic, who has overcome significant adversity. This victory is not just about the points; it's about the collective spirit and the unwavering focus on achieving a long-held dream โ the 21st Scudetto.
You talk about after the break, but I talk about an entire season. We reached the break with a good lead, then those draws and the loss to Milan created criticism, but we still had a 6 or 7 point margin.
From an Italian perspective, this Inter team embodies the passion and ambition that defines our football. While international media might focus on the tactical nuances, we in Italy understand the deep emotional significance of this pursuit. The pressure, the history, the sheer weight of expectation โ these are elements that make this journey uniquely compelling for us. Inter's consistent performance, even when not at their absolute best, speaks volumes about the club's enduring legacy and its ability to inspire.
We have scored more than 100 goals this year, we are at +49 goal difference. The last four games are not everything. I would talk about a team that has shown its face, that has always sought performance. Lately, we have also raised the level of pride, we have been more concrete and pragmatic.
