Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi was left happy with their win against Hellas Verona.

Lautaro Martinez struck the winner for the Nerazzurri.

"We were coming off 120 minutes played on Tuesday, but the team remained sharp. We scored early and then despite a little tension in the closing stages, we remained solid and focused without suffering much against a Verona side that could cause us problems," Inzaghi told Sky Italia.

“I was concerned by our fitness levels with Calhanoglu and Barella who pushed themselves so hard to be available today. They were in doubt until yesterday, while Mkhitaryan, Gagliardini and Asllani really helped out in these games with their midfield performances."

Asked if the critics have been too harsh on him, the coach added: “That is not for me to say. As players first and then coaches, we're in this world for a long time and we know how things go. With all the difficulties we've had over the last year and a half, we have done well thanks also to the club, players and our fans."
