"We could've done much better. We were perhaps a little frenetic in the first half, using up a lot of energy pressing them high. It was a performance of aggression and at times quality, so we take the three points, those were the important things. I think the first 20 minutes were of an extraordinary level of intensity, then we tried to take a little breather at 1-0 and we could've controlled the tempo better in that period."
"This is for newspaper headlines; it is of no interest to me. I am focused on my team, what we need to do to improve."
"It's stuff that is good for you to write the headlines, I understand that."
Inter moved temporarily to the top of Serie A with a 4-0 victory over Como at San Siro, with goals from Lautaro Martínez, Marcus Thuram, Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Carlos Augusto. Inter outperformed an expected goals (xG) figure of 1.24 from 11 shots, while Como had 15 attempts and an xG of 0.95 and 58.1% possession. Como suffered only their second defeat of the campaign. Cristian Chivu downplayed any extra satisfaction from beating Como coach Cesc Fàbregas and emphasized focus on team improvement, noting aggression, high intensity and areas where tempo control could have been better.
