VERONA - An exceptional first-half display playing in the hole - the position where he got himself noticed in Italian football - earned him a host of plaudits after Verona v Inter. And deserved they were too, for Hernanes was without doubt one of the stars of Inter's 3-0 show at the Bentegodi.
But after the match the Brazilian preferred to talk about the team's performance. He told Inter Channel: "We need to be aggressive and gritty if we want to get results. We did that well in the first half today especially: we gave Verona virtually no space at all. We can show people that we're a great team. It was really good to see us so alert: we were all very tidy and focused."
