The victory moves the Nerazzurri within a point of
second-placed Napoli.
Antonio Cassano
opened the scoring, before Rodrigo Palacio sealed the three points in the 85th
minute with a superb strike.
“I am happy with the defensive solidity shown by the
side, and our hard work is evident in the recent run of results,”
Stramaccioni told reporters.
“Antonio Cassano certainly played an important part
in the win, but I think it is fair to say that this win represents all the
players.”
It was a fourth consecutive victory in Serie A for the
Giuseppe Meazza outfit, and Stramaccioni explained his team selection and why
he had changed the shape of a winning side.
“We wanted to send a signal that Inter could win
this game playing in a very attacking style, with three strikers and a muscular
midfield,” he said.
“I put Obi on the left to control [Alejandro] Gomez,
as I noticed that he tends to suffer when faced with left-footed players who
can stop him more easily as he tries to cut in on his stronger foot.”
