Koné double helps Inter fight back to draw 2–2 with Roma

Wesley spoke to Sky Sport after Roma's draw with Inter, reflecting on a performance where his side started well but lost focus after the break. "We knew it would be tough against this Inter side—they're one of Europe's best teams and you can't afford mistakes, which unfortunately happened," the Brazilian left-back said. "We managed to execute our game plan and I'm happy with that. In the second half, though, we came out distracted, conceded two goals, and both we and they had chances to win it. We've shown we deserve to be in this league position. After the break we can't make the same mistakes again—now we need to rest." Roma drew level with Inter's attacking quality but surrendered control after half-time, conceding twice before the match finished level. Wesley stressed the squad's underlying merit despite the lapse in concentration, a concern Gian Piero Gasperini will address during the international break ahead of Roma's next fixture.

Wesley spoke after Roma's match against Inter at the Stadio Olimpico in the fifth round of Serie A. The defender acknowledged that Roma faced a difficult test against one of Europe's strongest teams and said the squad had executed their tactical plan effectively. However, he identified a critical problem in the second half. "In the second half we came onto the pitch distracted, we conceded two goals and both we and they could have scored the winning goal," Wesley said. "We have shown we deserve to be in this league position. After the break we must not make the same mistakes again, now we need to rest." Wesley emphasised that Roma had managed to demonstrate they belonged at their current standing in the table, but the lapse in concentration that led to two conceded goals represented a lesson for the team heading into the international break.

Roma's 2–2 draw with Inter at the Olimpico featured two goals each from Koné and Lautaro. The match precedes a three-week break for international fixtures, which will take many Roma players away from the club's Trigoria training ground. The squad will return to training on Monday afternoon at reduced numbers as national team commitments continue.
