“But our strength is that even those who play less work hard during the week to make the most of their opportunities.

“I want to keep going like this and help Inter, which is the most important thing.

“We have a tough schedule with many matches, so it’s not just the starting eleven that make the difference.

“We are friends, we care about each other, and that makes a difference in games.”

The game hit a pause button for a few minutes due to a medical emergency in the stands.

However, it caused a lapse of concentration among Atalanta players, allowing Augusto to score a free header.

“I can’t speak for them, but at that moment, I was alone and thought I could score,” Augusto admitted.

“Even Mkhitaryan came up to me and said I would score. These are moments when concentration might not be at its peak.

“It made the difference because the game opened up afterward.”

Finally, he highlighted the importance of regular first-team football.

“When I have match rhythm, I feel great,” Augusto added. “The training sessions after games are tough because you have to run a lot.
