Inter boss Simone Inzaghi praised his team’s substitutes for the pivotal role they played in their 3-0 victory over Torino this evening.
After a frustrating first half, the Nerazzurri took control after the break when substitute Denzel Dumfries assisted Marcus Thuram in the 59th minute to open the scoring. Lautaro Martinez doubled their advantage less than ten minutes later.
“The boys were great. They made sacrifices, played well without the ball and we won a big game. Taking on Torino after the break isn’t easy. We stayed in the game. We started well then dropped off a bit against a strong side,” Inzaghi told DAZN.
“Well done to the boys. Games are played in two phases and often change in the last half an hour. The boys, who came on, did well, as did those who came off. Torino kept up the intensity for 60 minutes and it wasn’t easy.”
He continued, “Thuram? He’s done well. He arrived full of enthusiasm and has adapted well. He’s started well and he needs to keep this going.”
“As for Lautaro, he’s working hard. He came back a day and a half ago; he played really well and is lucky enough to play with a team that always looks to set him up in every game.”
