THURAM – “He worked well with his teammates, with me and with the staff: he always trains very well, he immediately adapted to our principles. He must not stop, it is a moment like this: he is helping us a lot and he must continue, he is a player quality.
FRATTESI – “Do I see Frattesi at Inter for a long time yet? Absolutely yes, then in Inter as in other teams there is competition: but he is working very well. On Thursday he and Zielinski played 90 minutes very well: there are some things to do choices, he and Taremi played six minutes in the best possible way because they did what we asked. I'm alternating everyone, we have to continue in this direction without looking at the tables but thinking game by game.”
LAUTARO – “The attackers have a moment. In Rome it was one of the most positive: he wants to score goals but he has to continue working in this way like Thuram. They work as we ask them, we are trying to change them as much as possible: Arnautovic and Taremi did the same job. I told Lautaro to stay calm, he has always scored goals and will do so again this year. Last year he shot and scored goals, at the moment he is not lucky: but he should worry if he doesn't have opportunities It has to work like this to get back to scoring as he always has. Lautaro is our captain and it will be news if he doesn't score for 8 games, but he must continue to work like this and with confidence. He will return to scoring. He must remain calm, knowing that the team continues to win and he has everyone's trust.”
EMERGENCY – “We are alternating the players: we will have the Super Cup and then the Club World Cup at the end. We have many close matches but despite this we have had some problems. In midfield and in attack we are covered, to Acerbi and Pavard we have added De Vrij and Darmian. De Vrij didn't finish and gritted his teeth. The goal is to get everyone fit for more rotations: behind Bastoni, Carlos Augusto, Bisseck and Dimarco are playing a lot.”
FABREGAS – Fabregas' compliments? They are pleased, but I reciprocate because he is doing a great job. He is playing excellent football, he deserves compliments. Como came to play here at San Siro in a very proactive, non-speculative way, and doing it here at San Siro against Inter is not easy. In the first half we did too little, then we talked at half-time and saw that we could speed up the game more. We have thus created many more situations. More compliments from Fabregas than from some colleagues? We know where we are and how to think. Fabregas I spoke to him before., he complimented us. I told him to continue like this. He played here not speculatively, but with three attackers and two offensive wing players. I was very afraid of this match, we had some defections behind us.”
SHIELD – “Atalanta and Napoli? I expect them all, I said on 13 July that it would be a very exciting championship. They all strengthened, we knew it would be a different championship compared to the last ones”.
