Stramaccioni on Inter-Como: «Well-deserved victory, Thuram leads on and off the field»

Inter defeated Como with a performance that convinced even Andrea Stramaccioni. The former Nerazzurri coach, speaking after the match to DAZN, praised the approach of Cristian Chivu‘s team, emphasizing how the victory was achieved against a technically well-equipped opponent.

“Chivu got an important response with a serious, determined approach, which is worth double because it was done against one of the best ball-playing teams in Europe. Inter fully deserved the victory,” said Stramaccioni. The focus was particularly on the first half, which was judged as the moment when the Nerazzurri dominated most clearly.

Despite the result, Stramaccioni did not want to dismiss Como’s ambitions. “Not failed, they tried to play with their own weapons but came up against a great Inter, especially in the first half. I still like Como, and I don’t forget they were missing 4 attacking players. Many mitigating factors,” he added, thus rejecting a definitive judgment on the team led by Cesc Fabregas.

The closing remarks were reserved for Marcus Thuram, identified as a central figure not only technically. “Thuram is a driving force also in terms of leadership,” concluded Stramaccioni.
