Curtis Jones made a quick impression for Inter Milan again, coming off the bench at half-time and helping the team complete a comeback win over Napoli. The match turned sharply after Inter Milan went two goals down, then found a way back in three minutes before sealing it with a last-minute winner.
It was another encouraging moment for Jones, who made his Inter Milan debut off the bench in the win over Cagliari last weekend. Against Napoli, he was introduced into a game that was already demanding plenty from the home side, and Inter Milan still managed to turn it around in front of their fans.
A quick fit in midfield
Jones is a former Liverpool midfielder and one of several marquee names to leave Anfield this past summer. His early appearances suggest he is settling in quickly at Inter Milan, and the club also made a small bit of history against Napoli by fielding two English players at the same time for the first time, with Jones and John Stones both on the pitch.
After the match, Jones said he feels at home with the group. He said the lads and staff have been excellent since day one, and that he has been allowed to be himself rather than feel pressure to prove anyone wrong. He also said he believes the squad already knows what he is capable of, which is a useful sign for a player still building his place in a new environment.
Chivu praises the response
Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu was also positive about the way experienced players handled the pressure. He said they were comfortable in difficult matches and described them as exemplary professionals who give everything. That kind of backing matters, especially in a result like this, where the game changed quickly and the response had to be immediate.
For Jones, the bigger picture is simple. Early minutes matter, but so does trust. If he continues to look comfortable and makes the same sort of impact he did against Napoli, his role at Inter Milan could grow quickly.
