Inter Milan forward Mauro Icardi feels they are still way far from matching the qualities of Juventus.
Inter brushed off Lazio 3-0 to climb second in the Serie-A table. Inspired by a Icardi brace and a brilliant strike from Marcelo Brozovic has brought them in safe touching distance of league leader Juventus who are yet to lose a match this season.
Following their nervy start to the season as they crashed to defeat against Parma and Sassuolo things are now back to track it seems. The Nerazzuri finished fourth last season to compete in the Champions League this season.
Lazio were supposed to hold the fort for them but the Biancocelesti never looked convincing against the visitors at the Stadio Olimpico. Despite their efforts the Argentina international feels they need to work hard more to match the level of Juventus.
“I’m living the same moment Inter is experiencing. A beautiful period, in which things – beyond the race against Barcelona – they do well, we want to do things well. We anti-Juventus? I repeated it last week, we certainly are not: we are missing some steps to get to their level, but we are happy with our growth. Now let’s move on: we work to improve, we want to have the ball and today we managed to do it very well. We found the spaces and the play to score goals: this reflects the work we have done during the week. Then it is also important not to concede goals, also because the opportunities to score we have them.”
