Como 3-4 Inter Milan – Man Of The Match Urges Scudetto Calm Despite Title-Defining Victory: ‘We Need To Stay Focused’

Denzel Dumfries was the hero of Inter Milan’s dramatic 4-3 victory at Como, scoring twice to earn the Panini Player of the Match award.

However, the Dutch wing-back was quick to pump the brakes on Scudetto celebration talk in his post-match interview with DAZN, via FCInterNews.

The win at the Sinigaglia could prove one of the defining results of the title race, but Dumfries was measured and focused in his reaction.

Asked about Inter fans singing that they would win the title, he refused to get ahead of himself. “We wait, today a great victory, but every match counts. We need to stay concentrated.”

However, there was also room for a personal moment of satisfaction.

Dumfries had missed a memorable lob against Roma the week before.

Indeed, with Marcus Thuram famously reacting with amusement on the pitch.

Tonight, the Dutchman had the last laugh, despite his teammate’s brace as well.

“Yes, I am always happy if I can help the team with goals,” Dumfries said with a smile.

“But the important thing was to win, I am proud of what we did today.”

Indeed, the two goals felt like a statement from a player who has rediscovered his very best form at exactly the right moment of the season.

After missing large swathes of the second half of the campaign through injury, Dumfries‘ return has been most welcomed.

He is a breath of fresh air on the right flank and aims for a big end of the season ahead of the World Cup in the summer.
