CESENA – First, the excitement. Then, the analysis. Hernanes spoke to Inter Channel after Cesena v Inter: “Football is a crazy game. When you want to win at all costs, maybe you lose a bit of nerve when looking for the right pass.

“We’ve won and we’re going home with three points – that’s the most important thing. The team showed character and will to win; we must continue like that, always playing with great heart. We were lacking the knock-out blow tonight, but as I was saying, if you’re not calm you can’t make the right decisions.

“We’re out of our tough period; now we can build on this, showing the same desire and playing better football. I’m back in peak condition in terms of my fitness; I feel good and can help the team to the best of my abilities,” concluded Hernanes.
