MILAN - Dejan Stankovic slotted into a new holding midfield role against AC Milan and scored an incredible goal to complete Inter's 4-0 rout.
"I'm happy about the goal, but most of all I'm happy with the team's performance - it was great," the Serbian told Inter Channel. "The reaction we gave in the first half, scoring the first goal, then the penalty and then Maicon's goal which was beautiful... And then I put the icing on the cake. It was an unforgettable evening for everyone.
"In my position in front of the defence there's a lot of responsibility but a lot of enjoyment too. You have to be concentrated and man mark in defence. I had to do a job on Ronaldinho tonight and I had to help the central defenders. You touch the ball a lot, it's nice to play in this position.
"Compliments to Sneijder. To arrive the day before the derby and give a performance like this... There's a lot of quality in his feet. In his left foot and his right foot, and he had the support of the strikers, the midfielders, everyone. When a player brings in quality and competition it's good for everyone. It means that we all do a lot more in training and in matches. Having a team like this is a dream, we have to pay our compliments to the president."
Inter face Parma at home after the international break, and then it's Barcelona at the Meazza in Matchday 1 of the Champions League. "If I have to choose, it's better to play the first European match at home," said Stankovic.
