Yann Sommer maintains it is ‘a good point’ for Inter away to Juventus and confesses ‘as a goalkeeper it’s beautiful to play’ with his current defence.
The opener had been scored by Dusan Vlahovic at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin this evening, but Lautaro Martinez equalised before half-time for the eventual 1-1 result.
“In the second half you could see both teams didn’t want to take too many risks, they were compact, solid, more or less no chances from both sides,” Sommer told DAZN.
“We conceded the goal first and it’s difficult against a team like Juventus that is so defensively strong. It is good that we got the equaliser straight away and in the end it’s a good point for us.”
Even without the injured Benjamin Pavard and Alessandro Bastoni, Inter confirmed their excellent defensive record and Sommer has already enjoyed eight clean sheets in 13 Serie A rounds.
“I have to say as a goalkeeper it’s beautiful to play behind a block like we have. When you have a lot of high-level games in a season, it is key to concede few goals. You saw today, it was a tactical game, not a lot of chances.
“It’s amazing how much we communicate, how compact we are and for me as a goalkeeper it’s wonderful.”
Sommer also contributed going forward, as his long ball sparked the move for the Lautaro Martinez equaliser.
“They didn’t make too much pressure on me, so I had time to see which option was the best one. After that, you can see the quality we have upfront with one and two touches.”
