You can't get results in football unless everyone buys in.
All of us, and me in particular,
must absorb everything that Inter is all about.
The players must see Inter as important.
You can't stay alive unless you keep growing.
I want to squeeze every last drop out of life.
We're doing everything we can to try and build a better team.
We want to put this big club
back where it belongs based on its history.
A big hello to all the Inter fans.
I hope we can achieve great things together.
I'm here now and it's incredible to play for a team like Inter.
The more united we are, the more we pull in the same direction,
the more we can bring together the team, results and the club's history.
This club's illustrious history.
We feel good and it's important to keep winning.
The team are playing well and now we want to have a good league season
and qualify for the Champions League.
Everyone needs to be excited about the start of the season,
above all my players.
We know Fiorentina are a good team but we're Inter
and we want to win every game regardless of the opposition.
VAR has confirmed it is a penalty.
We're worthy winners.
We saw some good things during the match,
as well as others that we can all improve upon.
We must strive to be involved in fixtures like these.
If we're to reach their level,
we need to try and win matches like these.
Nice through ball to Icardi, who shoots...
It's in! Maurito!
In comes the cross. It's in! Vecino, Vecino!
We had a great summer training camp
and an excellent pre-season with some top-level friendlies.
We're pleased to have played well in these two games
and we head into the international break in a good frame of mind.
San Siro is our home ground - it's our heart and soul.
Our fans will definitely turn out in numbers
and we want to play well for them.
It's clipped back into the middle.
It's in! Epic Brozo!
Up steps Brozovic... it's in! Brozovic with the brace!
Anyone who plays for Inter dreams of
starring in a derby as big as this one.
There's nothing like the Milan derby,
it's a magical fixture.
It really means a lot to me.
The derby has always been a very special fixture to me.
It creates a real buzz, you have to play with heart
and it's a game that allows you to push your boundaries.
They're always special games.
We're lucky enough to have experienced them
and they're incredible matches.
As I said, I'm delighted to be one more Inter fan today.
It's a dream come true to play at San Siro when it's full.
Winning the derby is worth three points
but it also gives you a lift
and a confidence boost going forward.
The team performed well because they picked their moments.
The players I work with
showcased the character and ability that they possess.
Come on lads, let's go on and win it.
In it comes, it's flicked on
and the ball drifts narrowly wide.
It's a penalty!
The derby is always a special match
and it's always nice to win it in the last minute.
It was great for me personally
to score a hat-trick like that in the derby.
The fact that we're top of the table defies logic
unless you watch us play and say to yourself,
"These lot are pretty good."
We knew we would have to dig in at times
and we did so well as a unit.
As I've said, I think we produced an excellent performance.
Mr Banti checks his watch and blows for full time.
Final score, Napoli 0-0. Inter remain unbeaten.
You keep claiming that I'm lucky and you're right.
I'm lucky to coach this group of players.
We're looking good.
I might have even settled for less
but I think it shows that the players thrive
when it comes to sharing the workload between them.
We played very well today, we're a strong side
and that's what matters.
As I always say, the three points always matter
and that's more important than who gets the goals.
We know what we're all about
and we've pinpointed what we're good at.
We know how good we are,
which is why we will go out there
to try and record as many points as possible.
You need to focus on the details
because matches like these come down to fine margins.
The result doesn't matter to me.
What matters is that my team always give everything they've got.
It could have gone even better.
I always go out to win but,
based on how the game went, a point is okay.
We're still unbeaten and we've kept another clean sheet.
That gives us confidence.
There are potential banana skins
and even the colour of their kit poses a threat:
they play in black and white.
We'll go there to try and perform well
and, as ever, there are three points up for grabs.
Oddo's side attack down the right,
with Widmer who tries to beat Santon.
He can't get past him but Davide's lost it.
They're into the box, Widmer lets fly
and Lasagna taps home. Udinese take the lead.
The players trudge off with their heads down
after our first defeat of the campaign
We're not used to losing this season.
What we've achieved thus far has been great,
which is why it's a strange day.
Up he steps... it's saved!
We need to keep our heads and work in greater detail,
so that we can have the character to react to moments like these.
From time to time we lose our shape and that can happen.
However if you get the breaks, you get away with it.
If you don't, you don't come home with the points.
The ball just wouldn't go in despite a host of chances
but we managed it in the end.
I think we could have even gone on to win it
had we had a few more minutes to play.
I was very keen to join Inter and thank God it all worked out.
I hope to make an impact here at Inter.
I'm raring to go and ready for what the future holds.
Not winning a game like this
doesn't just come down to your formation
because we were leading until the last minute
and yet we come away with just one point,
which doesn't do a lot for our league position.
Icardi is not in the matchday squad, so he won't be involved.
He can't play from the comfort of his own home.
He'd like to but he has a muscle problem.
It's hard to bounce back as soon as something goes against us.
Often, like tonight, the ball doesn't break our way
or we lose it on the edge of the box and we concede.
We know it's a tough spell and we have to return to winning ways.
Here's Rafinha, it's into Karamoh, nice feet,
he shoots... it's in! Karamoh!
There goes the full time whistle.
Inter beat Bologna 2-1 and return to winning ways.
You need to win every now and then.
Otherwise you can come armed with whatever arguments you want,
ultimately they don't wash.
We need to rediscover that competitive spirit, put this behind us
and look forward to our upcoming games.
Joao Cancelo swings it in, it's flicked on...
It's in! Skriniar!
F*****g get in there!
In it comes from Cancelo, there he is!
There he is! Froggy!
It feels great to score and even better to get the win.
We really needed three points and we got them.
It was a really tough match from a mental perspective
because we haven't had the best time of it lately.
What mattered was getting the three points.
Nothing else matters because, between now and the end of the season,
points are all that matters.
It ends goalless between Inter and Napoli.
Had that header gone in rather than hitting the post,
we'd have won the match.
We'd have won the game on the basis of one incident,
not because we were the better side tonight.
Napoli played the better football tonight.
We performed well and when we play well,
the opposition lose comfortably unless they produce a big performance.
More than ever we need to be 100% focused today
and we have to put into practice what we've worked on in training,
so that we can cause Sampdoria problems.
That's brought up 100! 100 competitive goals for Inter!
A century of goals for the Fox in the Box to celebrate.
We hope to qualify for the Champions League
because that's everyone's aim.
After our great performance against Napoli,
where we worked for each other as a team,
we needed to push on today and win the match
because we hadn't won on the road in a while.
We managed it too.
We have a really good chance of securing a massive target.
That explains why there will be 60,000 at the ground tomorrow.
Candreva slips it through to Icardi.
He's unmarked, he shoots... it's in!
It's been ruled out.
Football's all about sticking the ball in the back of the net.
If you don't score, you end up losing undeservedly
after creating 10 clear-cut chances.
We fashioned lots of openings in the derby too.
We should have six points at this stage
yet we only have one.
The three points are crucial in terms of securing our target
of Champions League football.
We have four cup finals coming up
and we need to try and take maximum points.
Our dream is to qualify for the Champions League
and we have to give everything out there today.
Hang on, he's called for VAR.
What for? For that challenge?
The VAR says... red card.
Nasty challenge from Pjanic. He has to be booked for that.
He has to be booked for that.
Pjanic should be sent for an early bath.
Hang on, Orsato is calling him over.
He has a card ready for Miralem Pjanic.
It's all up for grabs if it becomes 10 against 10.
Who's he going to book?
He's shown the yellow card to D'Ambrosio for dissent.
In it comes towards Higuain, who scores. Unbelievable.
Two goals in the space of a minute
and Juventus lead 3-2.
It's a defeat that weighs heavily
and one which is hard to bounce back from.
Qualfying for the Champions League is in our own hands.
If we win all three matches, we're in the Champions League.
It's in towards Borja Valero.
It's in, "The Mayor" with the strike!
The coach has really worked hard to make us realise that
now is not the time to stop.
Now is the time to believe in ourselves
and produce three big performances
to try and win all three games.
It's a shame our fate is not in our own hands
but we'll keep going until the end either way.
Great stuff. Have you heard the Lazio score?
If you don't know, I won't tell you,
I'll let you know on the plane later.
Atalanta have taken the lead after just 90 seconds
thanks to Musa Barrow's third goal of the season.
We've only just started but there's already a goal at the Stadio Olimpico,
it's Lazio 0-1 Atalanta.
Lazio are level, Felipe Caicedo with the goal.
It's Lazio 1-1 Atalanta after 24 minutes, back to you.
The starting point for all this
is the sense of belonging here at Inter,
which is where we work.
Today we have living, breathing examples of that.
If someone doesn't know what's it all about -
and it's not easy to explain -
you have that sense of belonging
right before your eyes.
They're the ones responsible
for writing the most significant chapter
in the club's history.
They're the ones who raised the bar
when it comes to our ambition.
It's down to them.
If you can't manage to develop it,
you have to grab a piece of it off them
and ask to borrow it.
You must train properly.
Sure, they're here today too
but we still must do our job.
It helps to spend time with them
and experience what they have.
We need to train based on the opposition.
It's a crucial fixture.
The Sassuolo game will have a big say
in whether we qualify for the Champions League or not.
Politano takes it. It's in. Sassuolo lead.
It ends with a surprising win for Sassuolo.
They played well because
Politano and Berardi showed what they're all about.
Tomorrow Crotone host Lazio.
If Lazio win, they're sure of a place in the Champions League.
Up steps Senad Lulic, it's in. Lazio take the lead.
Simy equalises for Crotone on the half-hour mark.
Ceccherini puts Crotone in front!
Lazio are level through Milinkovic-Savic seven minutes from time.
It's all over. It's finished Crotone 2-2 Lazio.
Big men, big goals.
We have a big match ahead of us
and it's must-win.
In games like this what matters is having the character
and calm to be able to show the ability
or the initiative which can prove to be the difference.
What matters is who you are and what you've produced.
We've shown, especially at the back end of this season,
that we can compete with anyone.
Look out, the ball breaks loose and Lazio find the net.
In it comes, up go the heads, it's saved on the line.
It's in! Big Danilo with it!
Here comes Lulic. He's got Immobile and Felipe Anderson with him.
Felipe Anderson is clean through. He's into the box,
he shoots... it's in.
We spoke at half time about everything we've done this season.
We have a proper group of players and we all get on.
This is what we deserve. We all deserve to play in the Champions League next season.
Up steps Icardi, it's in!
One last effort. One goal. Come on, lads!
Come on lads! The cross seeks out Icardi, De Vrij clears.
Karamoh tries his luck, it's blocked.
Karamoh once more, he looks to beat his man,
fired across the face, pushed clear
and put behind for a corner.
In it comes, it's headed down. It's in!
It's sent into the mixer. Massive header clear from Ranocchia.
Lukaku, under pressure from Karamoh.
Don't let him beat you.
Well in, Yann!
Inter are in the Champions League! We've done it!
Inter have won 3-2. The game looked lost at one stage
yet the character and ability of these lads
have deservedly secured their target.
Inter win at the Stadio Olimpico.
Matias Vecino's goal has sent us into next season's Champions League.
Get in!
I had a feeling
and it turned out to be the right one.
I'm happy after all these years,
and you, like all the Inter fans, know that.
It feels amazing and I still can't believe it.
I don't think I'll sleep tonight!
We did it!
It's been a tough old season but in the end
we'll enjoy it because it couldn't have ended any better.
All of my team-mates and I, the fans
and everyone at the club
all really wanted to qualify for the Champions League
and we shed blood, sweat and tears
to secure this well-deserved achievement.
We believed till the last
and in the end we got our just rewards.
It's the best thing that's happened to me
in my five years at the club.
It's always been my target
and today we finally managed to achieve it.
