'But they also defended very well.'
'They sat very deep. And we had trouble finding players between the lines.'
'Then in the second half we went back to having three players in midfield,' Asllani noted. 'And maybe then we did better.'
'They dropped deeper,' the 22-year-old continued. 'And we did well to win, it was really important for us to do so.'
But Asllani made clear that 'we have to improve.'
'Because a team like ours shouldn't concede goals. And we've conceded two in two matches, both after not that many minutes.'
Asllani commented that 'we definitely have to review the errors we made.'
'And we have to grow together.'

Meanwhile, of Inter's physical condition, Asllani noted that 'all the teams are tired.'
'But we don't care about that. We have to give a lot more, because great things are there for us to take.'
'We're not struggling. We just haven't had enough time to train together.'
'We were together for a few days,' Asllani noted. 'And a lot of players are still absent.'

Stuttgart executive on Roma's interest in Woltemade: 'He's staying with us.'
Nick Woltemade has been linked to Roma in recent weeks as a possible offensive reinforcement. However, Alexander Wehrle, CEO of Stuttgart, wanted to clarify the club's position on the future of the young German striker, releasing some statements to the Stuttgarter Zeitung. Advertisement 'We will continue with Nick next season,' said Wehrle. 'Period!' 'All German clubs, except Bayern Munich, are willing to talk about the transfer of a key player above a certain figure. Of course, this also applies to us, but there has not yet been any verbal or written offer for him.' Wehrle then added something on the player's possible contract renewal: 'There is no reason to act immediately. Furthermore, we are in constant dialogue with our players and their agents and this also applies to Nick.'
