At the end of the defeat against Sampdoria, Stefano Pioli spoke Premium Sport about the defeat at San Siro.

“In the end it was negative, but now we have to prove we are not the team we showed in the second half. The whistles are there when you do not deploy all your qualities. We had opportunities to go forward but we had to be more of a team, this is the regret.”

What is the objective for Inter moving forward?

“Getting back to winning as soon as possible and play as a team for 95 minutes. We have the quality to giocarcela in every game.”

Were the players thinking too much as individuals rather than as a team?

“If you spend too much energy individually, the team is penalised. Samp gave us a lot on the wings and not very centrally, we used well, but lacked the cross. Samp also had chances in the final third where we had to be more careful. We put in heart but at the expense of the balance, which becomes difficult.

“We play with the goal to win always, and this has taken away lucidity there. The race did not finish at the 50th minute, in the first half we were the better team even when not in possession, then we were not able to take the ball from Sampdoria and this has unnerved us. Then the opportunities we have had, even in a frenzy, but this is just a small piece of the evaluation to do. We had to be a team until the 95th minute, and we did not succeed. ”

Why he did not replace Brozovic?

“Gagliardini had requested to be subbed, Perisic had a little problem with his adductor, I held it as long as I could. But the performance did not depend on the individual, we had to be more compact.”

Does Pioli fear for his future if Inter don’t move up the table?

“I have no fear or other thoughts if you do not pull the most out of players. The results tell the future; I’m not afraid and I do not think. The sums will be complete on May 28, we have other opportunities to demonstrate we are a good team.”
