Luciano Spalletti saw a practically flawless Inter performance to beat Chievo 5-0 and go top of the table. “It’s great for a Coach to see.”
The Nerazzurri hadn’t been the lone Serie A leaders in almost two years, since January 6, 2016.
“When a game is heading in that direction, the team divides up the tasks and does everything as a unit, it’s a great thing for the Coach to see,” Spalletti told Mediaset Premium.
Luciano Spalletti saw a practically flawless Inter performance to beat Chievo 5-0 and go top of the table. “It’s great for a Coach to see.”
The Nerazzurri hadn’t been the lone Serie A leaders in almost two years, since January 6, 2016.
“When a game is heading in that direction, the team divides up the tasks and does everything as a unit, it’s a great thing for the Coach to see,” Spalletti told Mediaset Premium.
“Within this dividing up of tasks, it also becomes easier to create positive situations and results. We are on the right path, the team started well today and got even better, so there’s not much I can say. I just say well done and try to find the tiny flaw so we can improve further.
“These are three very important points. We gave Chievo no spaces, no respite, we attacked down the flanks and focused on not losing possession through the centre. We were balanced all over the park and kept a close eye on potential pitfalls.”
There were concerns that Spalletti would lose the shape of his side with Matias Vecino, Roberto Gagliardini and Joao Miranda out of action, but Marcelo Brozovic, Joao Mario and Andrea Ranocchia filled in admirably.
“If we can squeeze our way into this position, it means we are doing great work. People act as if I make my line-ups by dropping players, but rather I pick those who are in the best condition, not drop those who are in the worst shape. When everyone is this strong, nobody is dropped.
“We knew Davide Santon well and he is a player with great quality, effort and versatility. Obviously, he does better and feels more confident in a position that suits him, then he will perform better.”
Next Saturday, Inter go to Turin for a Scudetto showdown with third-place Juventus.
“It’s going to be extremely tough for us and we must get straight back to work, focusing on the things we know now and doing them to our best.”
