Thiago Motta’s words after the victory with PSV
Thiago Motta commented on the narrow victory with PSV (2-1) in the first leg of the Champions League play-offs in a press conference: "The result è that of the field. A balanced game and we faced a team that always wants to play soccer. The 2-1 è the first step to make a great performance and go to the round of 16. Inter? We want to make a great performance and bring the victory of our side".
Unlocking the match è was the pliant McKennie: "Weston è special. È a great player. He has played fullback, outside back and midfielder. È a high level player. The high-level player plays everywhere, and today I have a hard time not putting him on the field. He è difficult to leave on the bench, because he è can play everywhere".
"Everything counts. In soccer everything counts, not just one thing. Our realityè è that we are a young team. We have to balance the lack of experience with more pace and intensity. In this we have to improve. Today we saw a balanced game. The victory è a first step towards the eighth round".
He then explained the change of Yildiz at halftime: "Technical choice for Yildiz.Even with Como, the players raised the level of the team. We need to compete for 95' with the opponent. Surely, all of us, we can do better".
" In my opinion, we can do better today on intensity and dynamism. The management of the lead must always be to go forward. We have to keep attacking the opponent and take advantage of the negative moment of our opponent to score the second goal. Sometimes we did well and sometimes we didn't, surely we have to improve" concluded Thiago Motta.
