After the triumph in the derby thanks to a goal scored by the team's captain Mauro Icardi in the dying minutes of the game, Inter's coach Luciano Spalletti commented the game in the post match interview with Sky Sport: "A perfect ending to the game? Absolutely not, we wanted to score earlier. The team that played the better football, the team that played with a high defence, won the game, so that team deserve praising. I liked what Icardi said at the end of the game, he said that we need to find continuity to our results. It's not all fun, there's work to be done and we need to do it with commitment and professional ethic."
"We did well because we always pressed them and forced them to make some mistakes. That allowed us to play the game as we wanted. Nainggolan? We have to see - concluded Spalletti - we have to take him to the hospital and evaluate his conditions. He will be out for a while, that's for sure".
