Alessandro Bastoni defends Inter's progress and looks at the glass half full after the 2-2 draw at San Siro against Napoli. The draw doesn't erase what has been achieved so far; on the contrary, it strengthens the team's confidence. “I'm holding this first half of the season close to my heart. I remember how the perception towards us was at the start of the season.”
The Nerazzurri defender credits the team's growth, especially on a mental level. “There are some details we need to fix, but I'm proud of the step forward we made today in terms of mentality and clarity.” An intense match, played against a high-level opponent, which also left clear indications on the areas in need of improvement.
Bastoni does not hide his defensive responsibilities but recognizes Napoli's merits. “We should have done better in terms of goals, but we have to acknowledge the quality of our opponents.” No excuses, just the awareness of a continuing journey and of a team that, according to the Italian centre-back, has proven to be more solid and mature than expected at the start of the season.
