BELGRADE – A ten-match winning streak away from home. "It's a big achievement," Andrea Stramaccioni admitted after the game, "because it shows the great mentality and character this team has. It's an achievement we're proud of but we're not getting carried away."
The Nerazzurri coach then analysed the match: "In the first half we were comfortable but we upped the tempo after the break. I think Jonathan did a brilliant job today to contain Markovic, Silvestre was very alert, Livaja excellent, Handanovic pulled off some incredible saves and Palacio produced a top display. We're a bit more relaxed now knowing that we've sealed qualification but we want to win the group and we'll keep playing as Inter can. Which win marked the turning point for us? It was a defeat, to Siena: that's where I saw what these players are made of. But we're looking forward now and thinking about the Atalanta game. It's going to be a very difficult match."
