Inter midfielder Calhanoglu happy after victory over Lazio: A team performance

Calhanoglu was named man-of-the-match on Monday evening.

He told DAZN afterwards: “I think after Leverkusen, where we played badly, we played well and as a team. There was a great team response, today there was an important win against an in-form team.

“The MVP award was a team award, not just mine. Today we played very well. At the end I also told Marcus (Thuram) that I knew he would score too.”

Asked about Lautaro Martinez not scoring that night, Calhanoglu added: “There is no problem if he doesn't score. He helps the team in the defensive phase, he does a great job.”

“He has already done great things for Inter and his time will come.”
