‘Inter could have won with seven players’

(GSM) – A delighted Jose Mourinho showed his sarcastic side after Internazionale stunned bitter rivals Milan (2-0).

Mourinho was very pleased with his side’s performance in the ‘Derby della Madonnina’. His team managed to cope with playmaker Wesley Sneijder’s early dismissal and goals from Diego Milito and Goran Pandev secured the win for the Nerazzurri.

Mourinho pointed out that his side were incredible, that the only way that they could have lost was with six players on the pitch.

“We demonstrated every aspect of our game this evening,” the Portuguese manager explained to TMW. “We could only have lost by having six people on the park, as even with seven, we would have won.

“Inter were incredible, as everyone played well. From the get-go, you could see that we were stronger. It was a match that we won comfortably.

“We will not allow anyone to take the Scudetto off us, and it is clear that teams such as Milan will not let us win it easily,” Mourinho added.

Milan boss Leonardo remained positive, despite the painful loss. “Inter were very good at taking possession off us and attacking,” the Brazilian coach said.

“We were unable to hold onto the ball, and when we did, the tempo was slow. We tried to use the whole pitch, but they closed the spaces down.

“Our philosophy on how we play must not change, as it has been this type that has taken us to this point. We were not at our best this evening.”
