SCALVINI – “Whoever played did not demerit, how Scalvini who needs to play after his injury, I wanted to try him in midfield and for me it was an excellent test, I could also try him again in that role given that we are shorter in midfield.”
PATH – “I don’t add value to anyone, but I try to bring out the best in everyone. The best way to give players confidence is to make them play even in the most difficult matches, because these are experiences that help you grow and make the most of them in the championship.”
STOP BELLANOVA – These are Gasp’s words at the conference, reported by TMW: “Bellanova 90 minutes on the bench? He has a knee injury“.
INTER E VAR – “The answer is that Inter is a strong team, the strongest at the moment. I think we have gotten closer, in the championship when the return leg is to be played we will be even closer. Inter remains at a higher technical level high, but I’m still satisfied. It was an opportunity to evaluate some players, it’s a shame about that occasion with Scalvini even if in the first half Inter deserved more. It’s not easy to create against Inter, the match had the turning point on that absurd goal, a corner kick non-existent with De Vrij in front of the goalkeeper and a very clear foul by Dumfries on Scalvini, he pushes him with two hands. It’s a bad expression from VAR, who took seven minutes to rightly find De Ketelaere’s offside. We exported a bad VAR. who didn’t see these three situations clearly. Carnesecchi was very good, as was Sommer.”
EVENING BUDGET – “I was interested in today, Zaniolo had never played from the start and Samardzic very few times, Scalvini was arriving from an injury for several months. We can’t always play with De Ketelaere and Lookman, it’s a problem, but overall we all did well” .
SCALVINI AGAIN – “He was unlucky, a month ago he was already able to play then he hurt himself when he fell badly on the pitch. He’s not quite ready yet but he’s a player of absolute quality and for me it’s a curiosity to see him in midfield, given that in defense we are good and in that department Ederson and De Roon have played practically all the time. Not everyone can play 50 games, he can play in midfield.”
INZAGHI – “The difficulty is Inter who have strong players and are a very organized team. We always play to try to win matches, never to speculate too much. With Inter, especially the match in August went badly, also on the 4th -0 previous I remember a disallowed goal: it’s always very strong and the games have always been balanced. When you come out defeated like that, you recognize the value of the opponent and you prepare for the next game to be even more competitive.”
MORE ON INITIAL TRAINING – “I explained it, I didn’t have the Primavera playing but Samardzic, Zaniolo, Brescianini, Scalvini. There are four national teams and they always ask me when they play: this was an extraordinary opportunity to see their condition. I have De Roon and Ederson who have incredible numbers, then the rest of them came in. I’m out of your mentality, consider whoever plays from the start as the starter: today we play with sixteen players, five who come in systematically. Whoever plays, regardless of playing time: exactly you can’t get away from this mentality. Always keep in mind that if one person plays, the other one doesn’t play: I brought in players from the Atalanta squad. And in my opinion they also played a good game: it was a semi-final, in the second half there was the possibility of giving positive energy, if it goes well you go to the final in the best possible conditions. You have to give confidence: get rid of this mentality of the starters and the reserves, it seems that whoever enters is a reserve. Whoever comes in for half an hour comes in to change the game, at the most decisive moment, therefore he has a higher responsibility.”
DEFEAT THERE IS – “Because today we are okay with the defeat, there is that absurd episode because I consider it to be so, but overall we are okay with the defeat. We will certainly find what we felt tonight with a team like Inter in the championship. Now let’s start again with many commitments, including the Champions League. We have 4-5 weeks with three games at a time.”
