Inter striker Diego Milito had a tough time scoring against Parma in their 1-1 draw and 'Il Principe' has hailed the fantastic performance by Gialloblu shot-stopper Antonio Mirante.

"I am sure that Mirante played a great match as he blocked everything," the attacker told Inter.it. "But Inter also played a great game against a side that we knew were going to be difficult to break down and defeat.

"We fought all the way, and were good enough to take home a point.

"The pitch was full of water, and the ball ran away from you fast. They had five defenders, and it was difficult to play along the wings.

"But the team fought hard until the end, and deserved this point. Now, our focus shifts to Napoli, which will also be a very difficult match," concluded Milito.
