FLORENCE, Italy (Kyodo) Japan defender Yuto Nagatomo had a hand in the opening goal in his first start for Inter Milan as the club world champions won 2-1 at Fiorentina on Wednesday to keep the pressure on the top two in the Serie A.

Nagatomo was delighted at getting the nod to start from coach Leonardo but admitted he was still finding his feet following his loan move from Cesena until the end of the season.
