APPIANO GENTILE – He was on the pitch for the whole game, had plenty of chances and crowned his 70-minute runout against Lugano with a goal. All signs that Diego Milito is getting close to full fitness and a return to competitive action with the first team.
Afterwards, the treble hero spoke to Inter Channel of his joy at getting back among the goals: "It was great to hit the back of the net again – that's what every striker lives for. But apart from the goal it was important to keep getting minutes under my belt. I'm feeling better and better.
"I got myself into lots of good positions? That's what I need to be doing again and it was good for me to play a friendly against a tough team. I did waste a few too many chances and I have to make sure that doesn't happen again but yes, it's important to be in the right place at the right time. I just need to work on getting sharper and that takes a while after seven months on the sidelines."
Mazzarri's teams have traditionally played to the strengths of their strikers and created goals in abundance for the front men. "Yes, the strikers are never short of goals with Mazzarri's attacking game. We've scored five ourselves in our first two matches. I hope to be back to my best as soon as possible. I want to be fit so that I can help the coach out when he needs me. The worst is behind me now and I'm almost ready to return."
