""Sometimes, if you wait for the ball to come to you, then you give the opponents time to get back into shape and reorganise," he added. "If we do this, we won't lose the ball centrally so easily and be vulnerable to the counter. We have to work better in front of goal, too, as I know it was the second consecutive defeat where we had good performances, but emerged empty-handed.""
""There is a lot of regret [over the Atletico defeat] because we didn't deserve to lose, but unfortunately, we came away with nothing," he said. "I saw great bitterness in the players' eyes, but this is football, and we must react by doing anything to get out of this situation.""
Inter suffered a 2-1 loss at Atletico Madrid after Jose Maria Gimenez's stoppage-time goal, following a 1-0 defeat to AC Milan. Players displayed visible bitterness and the team faces a quick turnaround against 17th-place Pisa in Serie A. Greater urgency, improved central ball retention to prevent counterattacks, and better finishing were identified as immediate needs. The squad must increase grit and willingness to do the dirty work when required. Inter sit fourth in Serie A, four points behind leaders Milan, and aim to keep pressure in a congested title race.
