Simone Inzaghi applauds his team and talks about the race for first place

After the 'crazy' 4-4 draw against Juventus on Sunday night, Inter savored the taste of victory again in Empoli, beating the home team with a clear 3-0 thanks to Frattesi’s brace and Lautaro Martinez’s goal. Simone Inzaghi, to the microphones of 'Dazn' said he is aware of the importance of these three points, while not wanting to think too much about Napoli in the lead.

"This victory,” said the Nerazzurri coach, “is not è an answer to anyone but ourselves, because something didn&#39t add up after the game we played on Sunday. We had deserved to win with Juventus but we didn't make it, today it was important to come back and win. Conte’s Napoli? We have to manage our forces and think only about us, we will do the math moreù ahead".

Also seen on the green rectangle, from 81'81;, was Tomas Palacios, an Argentine defender who arrived at the close of the summer market from Talleres de Cordoba (he was playing on loan, però at Independiente Rivadavia), for the first time this season: "He is working a lot and very well – Inzaghi said of him. He is learning quickly from his teammates, he will know how to carve out an important role".

Inevitable then a thought about Lautaro Martinez, scoring for the fourth time this season (for him also a goal in the Champions League): "A guy like him è always the solution, never the problem, even when he doesn&#39t score – said the Piacenza coach -. A striker lives by moments, I kept him on the field because I wanted him to redeem himself by scoring a goal, and he succeeded".
