Simone Inzaghi and Massimiliano Allegri in chorus: "The championship è still long"

Here are the words of Inter coach Simone Inzaghi and Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri after the derby d’Italia won by the Nerazzurri “of short muzzle” thanks to an own goal by Gatti.

"Tonight è it was an important victory, over-deserved, wanted with strength and with the group – said Inzaghi -. We are very happy but è a stage of a long journey becauseé there is still so much to go. Juve and AC Milan will not give an inch, but in front of our fans in a stadium that dragged us from the warm-up è a beautiful stage of a still long path".

"Szcesny kept the game open with the two incredible saves on Barella and Arnautovic but I could see the team focused, è it is hard to find fault – added the Inter technician -. We did not concede a restart in 95', Sommer è was always attentive but nice rested tonight. So far è it has been an extraordinary run but despite this Juventus è four points away and Milan è close, two other teams are keeping a very high gear".

Inzaghi is echoed by Allegri: “I have nothing to reproach the boys, only to congratulate them. We have to continue on our path. Inter'Inter è the favorite for the scudetto, then if we are good at winning a few games and staying close to them, there'è also Milan that è at four points, the championship è still long and the unexpected are around the corner".

It was a difficult match against a strong team,” added the Bianconeri coach. “Now we have to put a negative week behind us, which in a season can be, and we have to start again right away with Udinese: we have to get back to winning ways, there are still a lot of points available and we have to be quick to get out of the crisis. Tonight è a step forward in growth, although we are angry that we lost a game that we could have put back on our feet".
