De Vrij and Mkhitaryan: “We created a lot, we should have closed it out earlier”

It was a hard-fought match decided by Lautaro Martinez’s goal in the second half. Inter triumphed 1-0 against Venezia in the eleventh round of Serie A, narrowing the gap to just one point behind league leaders Napoli. After the match, here are the immediate reactions from Stefan De Vrij and Henrikh Mkhitaryan:

“We had opportunities to close the match earlier, but we didn’t take them. While we’re pleased with the result, there’s room for improvement. We allowed the game to come back to our goal at the last second, and we were a bit fortunate that Venezia’s goal was disallowed.”

“We put ourselves in a difficult position with the chances we failed to convert. We need to improve in this area because we could have wrapped things up earlier. We knew we could have won by a greater margin, and we are working hard to do our best. We are confident about the upcoming matches and want to make our fans proud. Playing for Inter is truly special for me, and I’m very happy here. My teammates support me a lot, and I’m here to help the team. Now we need to focus on Arsenal, and then there’s Napoli, which will be an interesting and special match.”
