Inter players reflect on crucial win against Como

Following Inter’s 2-0 triumph over Como, Carlos Augusto and Alessandro Bastoni shared their thoughts on the team’s performance and future outlook. The match proved to be a tough test for Inter, but they managed to secure all three points thanks to Carlos Augusto’s powerful header from a Hakan Calhanoglu corner and Marcus Thuram’s spectacular stoppage-time strike.

Carlos Augusto expressed his satisfaction with the result, stating, “I’m pleased, but as always, the most crucial aspect is Inter’s victory. We anticipated a difficult match and successfully claimed the three points.” He emphasized the need to focus on the current season, noting the strong competition from other teams. Augusto also praised his teammates, expressing confidence in their ability to contend until the season’s end.

The Brazilian defender played a key role in a restructured defense due to injuries, and he made a crucial goal-line clearance to prevent Como from scoring. Bastoni, who moved to the center of the back three, highlighted the significance of winning challenging matches, especially when key players are absent. He remarked, “These are vital points, particularly in games where we might not be at our best and are missing important players.”

Bastoni also addressed the team’s busy schedule, which includes upcoming matches against Cagliari and participation in the Supercoppa Italiana in Saudi Arabia. He stressed the importance of player fitness to allow for rotation during this demanding period.

Inter’s packed fixture list, which includes Champions League and Serie A commitments, as well as potential Supercoppa Italiana matches, underscores the team’s need for a fit and versatile squad as they continue to compete on multiple fronts.
