A great performance in Catania by Inter and it was an obviously pleased Walter Mazzarri who was interviewed by Sky after the game: “We still have to improve a lot, sometimes we commit some naive mistakes when we have possession. During the first half it was actually one of our mistakes that created their only chance to score. We are still a bit naive and need improvement. Besides the fact that we created a lot, we must become more cynical. We wasted chances even when the game was still even. We must realize this if we want to be involved in the top. I get very upset? It’s part of my job when I see that things are not going well.”
If he expected the outstanding contributions from Jonathan and Nagatomo. Today, as before, crucial: “It’s true, I didn’t think they would figure out this quickly what I want from them. Especially Jonathan has experienced significant growth over the last two weeks. Even Yuto has made progress, but many times he has failed in the last phase. This is the only thing I can criticize in a negative sense, otherwise a really good match.”
But have you’ve been working on the psychological as well, considering the change? “I agree. These players were even tense about the match against Cittadella, they felt the tension and suffered consequences from previous seasons. The victories help, they provide security. In the second half we went out even more convincing. We played well until we had closed the game.” The Mercato? “I enjoy it, I turn the phone off. But I ‘m not talking about the mercato, you know that.” Inter have no games in Europe this season, could it mean that the team will fight for the Scudetto? “I like the European matches, but the Champions League, for example, requires a big squad. You can’t do everything together, but I would like to have 22 to 23 world-class players to fight for everything. When I was in Napoli, I didn’t have that available. Inter’s goal this season is to give everything and make it difficult for everyone.” On Kovacic’s problems: “Kovacic is in pain, I don’t know exactly what it is but it shouldn’t be anything serious. Tomorrow he will be examined, but it was only about a hit, and he couldn’t continue.”
