Ivan Provedel confirmed his role as Inter's leading defender after the 2‑0 win against Venezia at the Penzo. The new goalkeeper, former Lazio, was the protagonist of the match, contributing to the team's first clean sheet and second position in the Serie A standings. At the end of the match, Provedel addressed the club's official microphones, declaring that he had "done my duty" and that he had helped the team to "unlock" in the second half, thus bringing home the second goal for Inter.
In his speech, Provedel also spoke about his relationship with Inter's other goalkeeper, Josep Martínez. He underlined that "we are at Inter, the basis is the need to give everything every day" and praised the team work, citing his teammates Di Gennaro, Orlandoni and Spinelli. He stated that he immediately saw a great working group and that he appreciated the culture of fun within the team, elements which, in his opinion, have allowed Inter to win trophies in recent years and which should continue to be the basis for future victories.
Provedel's performance was fundamental for the Inter defense, which kept a clean sheet for most of the match. His presence gave security to the defenders and allowed Inter to control the pace of the game, especially after the start of a match in which Venezia had shown aggression in the first half. The final result consolidated Inter's position in the second row of the table, with a points advantage over the clubs immediately below.
For Inter, the victory against Venezia is a positive sign for the mid-season phase. The club has shown that it can count on a solid defense and a goalkeeper capable of managing the pressure of important matches. Provedel reiterated the importance of maintaining concentration and giving your all in every match, key elements to continue competing for national and international titles. The next match promises to be crucial, as Inter will have to continue to consolidate their position in the league table and prepare for the European challenges.
