De Vrij and Mkhitaryan: "We are confident for the next games, we want to make our fans proud"

It was a hard-fought match decided by Lautaro Martinez's goal in the second half. Inter Milan won 1-0 against Venezia on matchday 11 of Serie A and moved to within one point of leaders Napoli.

After the match, Stefan De Vrij and Henrikh Mkhitaryan made their statements:

"It was not an easy match tonight, we had chances to score the second goal but we failed to do so and we risked a lot until the end. 

They were well prepared and knew how to approach this match, we always want to be dynamic and in some situations we were very dangerous. Obviously we play many close matches, but we have a large squad and we know how to deal with so many commitments. The next matches will be important, but now we have to focus on Arsenal."

"We put ourselves in trouble because of the chances we were unable to materialise, we have to improve on this aspect because we could have closed it out earlier. 

We knew we could have won by more goals and we are working hard to do our best. We are confident for the next games, we want to make our fans proud. 

Playing at Inter Milan for me is really special, I am very happy. My teammates help me a lot and I am here to help the team. Now we have to think about Arsenal and then there is Napoli which will be an interesting and special match."
