Federico Dimarco and Carlos Augusto highlighted the significance of Inter`s 2-1 triumph over Sassuolo, recognizing it as a vital boost for their Serie A campaign. The players emphasized the team`s unwavering effort to secure the win.
Following a successful 2-0 away victory against Ajax in the Champions League, Inter aimed to carry that momentum into their domestic fixtures. Despite facing challenges, goals from Dimarco and a deflected shot by Carlos Augusto were enough to overcome Sassuolo 2-1, ending Inter`s streak of two consecutive Serie A losses.
Dimarco expressed to DAZN Italia, “Securing this win was crucial. We needed to accumulate points, as that`s what`s expected of Inter. While we experienced two disappointing defeats, the season is long. Our approach is to take it one match at a time and assess our position at the season`s end.”
At halftime, with Inter leading 1-0, Carlos Augusto had described the scoreline as precarious. Post-match, he reflected, “I mentioned at halftime that a 1-0 lead was a risky position, which proved true today. However, we gave our all to clinch the victory.”
The Brazilian player, originally signed from Monza as a left wing-back alternative to Dimarco, demonstrated his versatility by scoring from a center-back position. He commented on his adaptability, stating, “It`s advantageous to be capable of playing multiple roles. Given our attacking style of play, there are similarities between the center-back and wing-back positions.”
