Inzaghi on Lautaro Martinez: “He will unlock soon”
“In the first half we did too little on the left, which is the chain where we usually create the most. In the second half we pushed more and created many more dangerous situations”. On the attackers: “Lautaro is our captain: it's news that he hasn't scored in eight games, but he'll be back to scoring goals. On Monday he and Thuram did a great job: I'll have to review today's race. I know what it means for an attacker not to score, but he must remain calm: he has the support of all of us and will soon find his way.”

Inzaghi: “Victory as a mature team”
The Inter coach Simone Inzaghi at the end of the race: “Congratulations must be given to Como, who came to play the match at San Siro with excellent Como principles: we played as a mature team, which was good at hitting in the right way.

We know that we are Como, but we came to the home of one of the three strongest teams in Europe and we played on equal terms”, Fabregas said at the end of the match. The Como coach then spoke about Inzaghi: “He is a coach who has a lot of personality and I have a lot of respect for him.”

Bastoni: “Here's what Inzaghi told us at half-time”
