Luciano Spalletti felt the Inter comeback to beat Tottenham on their Champions League return “made it even more satisfying.”
They were a goal down to a deflected Christian Eriksen strike until the 85th minute, when Mauro Icardi’s sensational volley and a Matias Vecino header turned it around for 2-1.
“The fact we overturned the result with that final push makes it even more satisfying,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
Luciano Spalletti felt the Inter comeback to beat Tottenham on their Champions League return “made it even more satisfying.”
They were a goal down to a deflected Christian Eriksen strike until the 85th minute, when Mauro Icardi’s sensational volley and a Matias Vecino header turned it around for 2-1.
“The fact we overturned the result with that final push makes it even more satisfying,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
“We saw how the fans in the stadium celebrated what it meant to them. We were always attacking and always tried to get behind them, so we put in a great performance.
“This result gives us different self-belief around the work we are doing. Getting players like Icardi to break their ducks is fundamental, as we need his goals.
“Icardi is a serious professional and he is not someone who runs away from responsibility. We have many great players, though and sometimes we must learn how to win even without Mauro. We can’t have the same XI in every game.
“We were missing a link between Icardi and Radja Nainggolan, as at times there were big gaps. Mauro likes to go beyond the line, while Radja’s fitness levels aren’t great after his long injury lay-off. We must avoid losing the ball naively right after winning it back.”
