Spaletti praises Inter focus

Luciano Spalletti hailed the character in his Inter Milan side after they fought out a 2-1 win over SPAL on Sunday afternoon.

Following a Champions League victory over PSV earlier in the week, Inter looked on course to drop crucial league points as SPAL’s Alberto Paloschi cancelled out Mauro Icardi’s opening goal.

However Icardi restored their lead 12 minutes from time, much to the relief of Spalletti, who was quick to praise the resilience in his side.

“The first enemy after a Champions League win is complacency, the risk everything might seem as if it’s normal,” Spalletti told Sky Sport Italia.

“We had to make choices, ensuring the team didn’t feel they weren’t first-choice players. Some choices were forced, as Danilo D’Ambrosio had a few issues and we ended the game with some tiredness.

“The players worked so hard, suffered under pressure when SPAL returned with a vengeance and at times we have difficulty playing our way out of defence, so we lost some balls that allowed SPAL to really pin us back for a while.”
