Quotes
“It was important to have the right approach to the game," Inter manager Simone Inzaghi said after masterminding a win over Salernitana.
"The boys were brilliant because Salernitana had caused a threat to some of the big teams and we knew that it wouldn't be an easy game.
"We've done really well up to now and are keeping up a great rhythm. We know there's still a long way to go and that we'll need to be up for a lot of games in quick succession," he continued.
"We won our first trophy of the season but we need to keep going, knowing that there will be hurdles along the way and we need to be the ones to make the difference by keeping our concentration."

Inter claimed a 2-0 win over Lecce in their last meeting in Serie A with the match taking place at San Siro on 23 December 2023.
