Mauro Icardi bagged an early brace at the Stadio Castellani for their third consecutive Serie A victory.
“We talked a lot about the attitude I want to see not just against a great side like Juve, but also other teams,” De Boer told Sky Sport Italia.
“We proved that we are in good shape and this evening started very well with two goals. We used up a lot of energy against Juventus, so it was important to start strong.”
Joao Mario was moved to a more advanced role in the absence of suspended Ever Banega.
“We have very important players at Inter, but I think it’s even more important than the players understand our philosophy.”
Juventus Coach Max Allegri said that the Derby d’Italia was an “ugly” match. What does De Boer think?
“It was for Juventus, yes. We played well, were very concentrated and deserved to win.”
Marcelo Brozovic was again frozen out this evening, but made it to Empoli alone by train to watch from the stands.
“I am happy with this, because it means he wants to help the team. It is the first step. He needs to work hard and prove he is a professional.”
