Following a nervous win over the Russians in the Champions League, the Argentine midfielder thought that his side should have had a more comfortable victory.Inter midfielder Esteban Cambiasso has reflected on the Champions League clash against CSKA Moscow, which saw the Italian side win 3-2 on Tuesday.Speaking after the game, the Argentine suggested that a bigger lead at the break would have perhaps led to a more convincing victory for the Serie A outfit."If we had been able to take a 2-0 lead into the dressing room at half time, the match would have unfolded very differently - perhaps we would have scored another goal and been able to see it out without any problems. That's not the way it went, but we had a great response," Cambiasso said, according to the club's official website.Inter looked to be cruising in the first period thanks to goals from Lucio and Giampaolo Pazzini, but CSKA Moscow midfielder Alan Dzagoev was able to pull one back for the Russian side during first half stoppage time.Vagner Love then equalised for CSKA in the 78th minute, but the Italians quickly regained the lead in the 79th minute thanks to a goal from Mauro Zarate.Commenting on Inter's overall start to the season, Cambiasso suggested that time was needed for the team to rediscover their form."We got off to a bad start [this season] but there weren't actually many games where we got it wrong. Big teams sometimes need a little time to adjust and consolidate."While Inter have now earned their first points in Europe's premier club competition this season, the squad will have to shift their focus back to Serie A this weekend when they take on Napoli, who recorded a 2-0 victory over Villarreal in their Champions League encounter."I don't want to think about Napoli now, even though it's a crunch match. For now I just want to enjoy this win. It's an important victory," Cambiasso said.The fixture between Napoli and Inter will take place on Saturday, October 1.
