MILAN - "We bagged three important points tonight because Napoli are a top team and second place was up for grabs." That's what Yuto Nagatomo told Japanese journalists after Inter's win at the Meazza.
The wing-back then analysed his own performance: "I'm pleased with how I did personally. In the second half in particular I had to carry out more defensive duties because the coach, through Zanetti, told me to concentrate more on helping our defenders. Midway through the second half I was almost in with a chance but I got there just a bit too late. My legs aren't very long and I couldn't quite stretch to it..."
Nagatomo was reminded that on other occasions this season, after a great performance the team has suffered a dip in form. He replied: "Unfortunately that has happened this year. We'll have to maintain our focus better. Juventus? We must keep on this path, it's too early to talk about the league table."
