| Inter do enough, says Ibra |

Inter striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes the Nerazzurri’s 2-0 win in Catania last night was a real show of force.
The 27-year-old Swede scored his 13th goal of the season to guide 10-man Inter to victory and help extend their lead at the top of Serie A to six points.
“It was a great game,” smiled Ibra. “We played with 10 men from the first half onwards but we remained compact and kept our concentration.
“You cannot shine all year. There are times when things don’t go well, but it’s enough to stay at the top for a long time and whoever does the best out of everyone eventually wins the Scudetto.”
Ibrahimovic was critical of the referee for issuing Sulley Muntari a rather harsh red card in the 31st minute.
“He committed a foul that in my opinion was worthy of a yellow card,” said Ibra. “But the referees are under pressure, too. We need to help them as they help us.”
Returning to talk about his own form, Ibrahimovic explained that he was just happy to play after missing Sunday’s game against Sampdoria through suspension.
“I was banned for the last game,” added Ibra. “Today, though, I played and we won. It means a lot to me.
“Even without [Jose] Mourinho on the bench, we were as strong as usual and we’ll be even better when he returns.”
Mourinho was handed a touchline ban on Sunday when he openly criticised the referee during Inter’s match with Sampdoria.
Inter are back in action this weekend when they take on relegation battlers Torino who drew against Reggina on Wednesday night.
