CONTE: “inter had to work hard. Lukaku scored a very good goal”
Head coach of “inter” Antonio Conte commented on the victory over the Spanish Getafe (2:0) in match of 1/8 finals of the Europa League:
Getafe enjoyed the game, created chances, but we gradually took it under their control. I think the victory is fully deserved. Satisfied that all is, I think, was most involved in the process – even those who have not played from the first minute. That’s the spirit I need.
We expected a tough game and we knew it was going to have to sweat. Very glad that nobody shied away, valorises in full. It seems that now the players understand when and how everyone needs to work together to not skip. That’s what we did today. Playing in Europe is a great experience for the further growth of our team. The evening was a success: I see that it does not want to leave, and continue the fight.
Lukaku scored a very good goal, well bursting into the penalty area. It is difficult was given to start the meeting, then he missed the best chance to make a double, but I am pleased with his game. As a goal Eriksen – he understands that I need to make a decision when choosing the starting lineup, and he came on as a substitute with the right attitude, the result of scoring”.
