Quotes
“We’ve had an ideal start to the season. A great derby, we always stayed focused, kept the right distances between the lines," Inter manager Simone Inzaghi said after his side's win over AC Milan.
“We scored goals at the right moments and the substitutes did very well right in the moment after we had conceded the goal for 2-1. Congratulations to the guys, we’re very satisfied but this is only the start.
"We know how much the whole Inter family cares about this derby. Now we have a series of matches played close together on the way, and we’ll prepare for them. I just watch my players, what they do in training," he added.
"I was a bit worried because, with the first three matches, we had a whole week to prepare. And this time around, some of my players had been away with their national teams.”
