Inter, Spalletti: "We came out well and scored early, but our finishing lacked quality. Gagliardini is a huge loss."

Inter had the lone game on the Serie A calendar on Tuesday, and in the match against Cagliari, the nerazzuri shone in that spotlight. Scoring four goals at home at the San Siro, Inter secured an important win in the chase for next season's Champions League spots. Their coach, Luciano Spalletti, commented to Sky Sport after the match about the performance from his team: "The team played well, we came out on the field positively and tied the opponent up in midfield. We performed each aspect good enough, and leapt right away on the opponent. We should have ended it even in the first half given that we had many opportunities. Our inability to finish? It's a problem of technical quality and of character. Also of physical strength. You need these three components to play football. Instead, we are a bit soft, also in character. Gagliardini? It's a big loss for us, especially because he and Brozovic complemented each other in their roles. It would be a shame if he were to be out for several weeks. Karamoh? He must do better, he must take advantage of his chances. That being said he's a good player and today he played well. Icardi? The more he is criticized about scoring the more he is encouraged to play for the team. Sabatini's comments? He is someone I know very well and someone I care for, he is a man of heart, feeling, and culture. I can't wait until he invites me to dinner so we can speak at ease."
