Do you have any regrets about the chances in the finale?

–

“In the second half we did better on the quality of the game, we had more courage and unpredictability. In the first half we did little, we looked for solutions but without character and we gave him space to restart. We still played a high level match.” .

What didn’t you like about Osimhen?

–

“He is generous, he lets himself be carried away and instead he has to make choices. If he goes to attack everyone and we have to lower the team … They are good at finding the fifth on the opposite side and the whole team had to run 100 meters “.

–

“He has a swollen eye, when he took the blow he couldn’t see well. The bruising started, but I think it’s a blunt trauma and that’s it. I hope …”.

–

You had difficulties on the outside, those of Inter were fundamental. How did you try to limit them?

–

“With them it becomes difficult to play with a different tactical attitude, because the first characteristic has to be the very short defense or else you have to get with the full back on their fifth. When the distances get longer it becomes more difficult. It always depends on the quality of possession of the ball. , but it is they who decide with their quality to take the discourse where they want to lead it. We must know how to make up for another tactical attitude “.

“You are also strong as a conductor! Now you always play in amateurs? At the first free game I will come to see you”.

–

You are the team with the most ball possession. What did you tell the team after the first half?

–

“We have to go openly and today we did it a little, but in the first half we had little courage. At the end of the first half I said this: if you play with fear and fear against these teams, you won’t win the games. . In the second we did better, but we have to do it from the beginning: we play for any kind of result. They deserved this attention. And I get angry if we don’t do the things we have to do and in the first half we didn’t have the courage: against Inter , Milan has to play the ball, you have to offer important stuff on the opponents’ faces “.
