Lazio defeat Inter by a score of 1-0 - thanks to a Sergej Milinkovic-Savic header in the first half - at the San Siro. Three extremely important points for the Biancocelesti, after the match manager Simone Inzaghi spoke to Sky Sport microphones: "There will be a series of close matches and we should be good at regaining strength and energy. Beyond the other results, I watch my team. We come from a great performance, although during the break we lost Stefan Radu and Patric. Today I deployed other players for them but the result has not changed. The team had personality but we were wrong to not score a second goal. Strakosha and the defense managed every attacking situation very well."
On Joaquin Correa, Inzaghi stated: "He's fine, he's a very intelligent boy. He is knowledgeable when not in possession and knows how to counter quickly and effectively. He had a back problem, it seemed trivial to take him off. He had a painkiller before playing, but after 25 minutes he asked for a change. However, even Felipe Caicedo was good. We must not stop. We have two close matches; already on Wednesday there will be a difficult match to play in the right way".
On Luis Alberto, Inzaghi stated: "He's playing very well from a central midflied role; he is finding his quality and performing. When Correa came out, I preferred to deploy Caicedo, who did not leave us over the international break. Until the last day I had some doubts on who was to start. This was because Immobile had been busy with Italy, while Correa and Caicedo stayed here".
On Milinkovic-Savic, Inzaghi stated: "Milinkovic-Savic was away with Serbia over the past week - not with us. I was going to start him from the bench; I was wrong. He started well, then had a physiological decline. In November he got injured. He slowed down a little, but now he is coming back. He has great quality; against Sevilla I regret not having played with him and Luis Alberto. We wanted to go further."
