GENOA – A brilliant display from Mateo Kovacic this afternoon against Sampdoria. Here is what the Nerazzuri midfielder told Inter Channel: “We played well to win the game although we could certainly have played even better. We did play for a long time with a man advantage and we’re very happy with these three points. It was an extremely important game. We were very focused. We’re happy with the 4-0 scoreline, now we’re looking forward to the game against Parma.

"Mazzarri said that the Inter of the future will be built around Mateo Kovacic? I want to thank the coach for his words of praise. But today I’m just happy with the win. I’m not looking too far ahead in terms of my future, I’m just thinking about our training session tomorrow and that we have to focus on the next game. This week we’ll work hard on preparing as well as possible, as we want to put in another fantastic performance against Parma.”
