ROVERETO - After the game against Koper, Ivan Cordoba commented on the team's performance this afternoon and how they are doing in general. "Koper were further ahead in their preparations than we are and that showed in the first half, but after the break we managed to take control of the game. The main thing was getting minutes into our legs.
"Coutinho's goal? We're used to seeing him do things like that in training. He's doing very well. He got some experience under his belt elsewhere and now he's determined to prove himself at Inter.
"Which player impressed me the most? Let's say that nothing the captain does surprises me any more. This might be the obvious answer but I'm going to say the team. They've all been working really hard to be ready for 2 August.
"Lucio? He was an excellent team member and a great player; we'll never forget him after everything we won together. I wish him nothing but the best. I know that deep down he doesn't think that [a reference to comments made by the Brazilian defender in a recent interview]. We know what he's really like but we all have to take responsibility for the things we say. As I said, we respect him for what he did on the pitch.
"Juve? They're talking about us so we're clearly more important than they are. If they want to keep talking that's fine - they'll be less focused on their targets."
