Inter Milan striker Alexis proud of brace in victory over Parma: I've been a caged lion

Inter Milan striker Alexis Sanchez was full of pride after his brace in victory against Parma.

Alexis scored both goals for the 2-1 win.

"It was a difficult match, as Parma did well, so did we, but we are fighting for the Scudetto and we are on the right path," Alexis told Sky Italia.

“We do feel a positive atmosphere. We have to focus on ourselves, staying on our path and keeping this up. Since we lost the Europa League Final, the team has improved so much. We're taking those steps forward that we needed to become a winning team."

Antonio Conte said yesterday that Alexis is in the best shape he's been in since he arrived at Inter.

“I am a player with a lot of experience, the coach trusts me and I am happy. I always want to play and be at 100 per cent.

“I feel like a caged lion and the more I play, the better I feel, that's always been the case since I started playing football.

“I love this sport, I love playing, and the more I play, the better I feel. We've all made sacrifices, worked hard, watching videos, studying, training and every day learning something new."
