After the game against Genoa, Inter coach Luciano Spalletti talked to RAI Sport and tried to explain what happened starting by stating that “In this game we just did not have anything to respond with, the reason for this is that we, at the moment, can not master the game. The game was pretty even, then came the autogoal and that created a lot of difficulties. Especially considering that we currently are in a difficult period.”
This negative period just do not seem to end…
“If the team is doing what I asked them to do, this means that I am asking them to do something wrong. Last week we have tried a numerous different things, but I have to defend my guys.”
What kind of relationship do you have with the management?
“We are there working from dusk until dawn, During the mercato, a lot of names have been dropped. Names that all affect my players. At the moment everybody is talking about a rebuild, I have to reassure my team that I trust them.”
Do you feel that you are in the middle of these discussions?
“Absolutely no, you are wrong. That being said does not mean that the management does not take decisions and based upon my performance or analyse me.”
But at the end, how did the January window end according to you?
“There were talks about Pastore and Sturridge. Now the mercato is over. Basta. There are still 14 games left of the championship, why are there talks about a revolution? Of course we have to talk about the future and have an eye at the mercato in June, but I have to think of the work that is ahead of me now.”
