Inter boss Jose Mourinho has praised his side for their Coppa Italia win over Roma last night.
The Italian champions were looking to bounce back from last weekend's 3-1 defeat against Atalanta and they did just that by beating Roma to progress to the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.
Adriano put Inter ahead and Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the winner just seconds after Roma had drawn level at 1-1.
“This win was a very good reaction to the defeat we suffered last Sunday in Bergamo,” Mourinho said on Sky Sport Italia.
“Everything is better, on and off the field, when we put in that kind of performance.
“I'm happy and so are the players because we really don't like losing games. We also attached a lot of importance to this competition.”
Davide Santon was handed a start in defence at the tender age of 18 and stood up to the examination.
“It's never easy to make your debut against Roma, but he was fantastic,” the Special One declared.
