Inter Milan Captain Sings Praise On Nerazzurri After Hard-Earned Win Vs Arsenal: “We Put Character & Quality” | OneFootball

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez addressed the media following a hard-fought 1-0 UEFA Champions League against Arsenal.

During his post-game chat with Prime via FCInterNews, the Argentina international hailed the team’s effort in tonight’s mammoth clash.

Simone Inzaghi oversaw another iconic European night.

Hakan Calhanoglu’s penalty on the stroke of halftime inspired Inter to a pivotal home triumph against the Gunners.

It was never going to be a routine task for the Nerazzurri.

However, they passed the test with flying colors, making it four clean sheets from as many Champions League games this term.

With ten points and zero goals conceded, they sit fifth in the 36-team standings.

Indeed, only two points separate Simone Inzaghi’s high-flyers from table-topping Liverpool.

More importantly, another spotless defensive performance helped Inter extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to nine games.

Therefore, they will enter next weekend’s mouth-watering Serie A clash against Napoli in high spirits.

Martinez failed to find the net.

But he fought tooth and nail for every possession, leading his team by example.

“These cup matches are wonderful to play, and it’s great to face quality teams like Arsenal,” the 27-year-old said.

“We did our part; in the first 25 minutes, we showed quality, putting them in difficulty.

“Then we dropped in intensity and suffered a bit. Over the 90 minutes, we showed character and stayed united as a team.”

Furthermore, he played down talks of him carrying a coaching role on the pitch.

“No, no, it’s the coach’s job,” he added. “Sometimes I want to convey things from the outside as well.

“When you’re winning it’s better to stay with the high line.

“I played 90 minutes with Venezia, the more I play, the better I feel.

“These are the coach’s decisions, now let’s think about what comes in the league.”
