Inter responded to Milan's victory yesterday with their own, defeating SPAL 2-0 as the nerazzurri head into next week's derby. Luciano Spalletti spoke to Sky Sport after the match.
"It was a victory of character. It's a quality that we have and one that we always need to show. We showed it also in Europa League. At the beginning we made ourselves take from the emotion and the difficulty. At times it happens, but you need to pay attention to not confuse timidness with fear. We're Inter, we always need to try to win."
"After the goal, Gagliardini became a totally different player. But so did Dalbert and Joao Mario: everyone had rediscovered their qualities. Laurato played a great match."
Spalletti then closed with a comment on Icardi: "I'm not talking about him, because everything I say gets misinterpreted. We need to remain united to win, that's all that counts."
