A bitter end for Inter who dominated the game, then came the penalty that always haunts Inter, a penalty that just Gervasoni saw (however he missed a very clear situation on Rocchi) and missed next penalty situation too. So spoke Stramaccioni to sky which obviously is upset.

Alvarez bene? “Sì, anche in un ruolo non suo da seconda punta. Peccato perché ha sfiorato anche un altro gol. Ma stavamo facendo tutti bene, specie con Kovacic: gestivamo la palla in continuità con le ultime prestazioni”.

Speranze per il terzo posto? “Non so, ora abbiamo perso una brutta partita. Non facciamo calcoli, giochiamoci anche la Coppa Italia. Magari avendo anche una fortuna in più. L’errore finale di Ranocchia? Va bene…”.

Andrea Stramaccioni was asked if he thought the penalty was doubtful and said:

” Why a doubt ,it’s a non existant penalty. The referee took a responsibility and influenced the game with it. We asked what he had blown for, we asked for about five minutes and they said it was a hand ball from Samuel. Something that only the referee had seen, Atalanta were going to take the corner.”

” I am new in this world, but there has been half a championshsip where they didn’t give us a single penalty. The first Atalanta player to be booked was 15 minutes before the end, this after  7-8 fouls on Kovacic. I repeat it wasn’t a mistake by the referee, he took a responsibility for the game and he just can’t do that, he can’t.

” We allready have our problems, we are not an army that can win against these decisions. Today we had a 3-1 lead and had the game in our hands, and the referee took a huge responsibility, for half a championship I’ve said “Ok it could happen” but today the referee today took an incredible decision. It is possible that I won’t be here at the end of the season, but a team like Inter must be respected. This was a situation that didn’t happen, it didn’t exist, they wanted to take the corner.  I can understand if you have doubts on the penalty situation for Rocchi or to book Bonaventura. But this situation doesn’t exist’, it was created by the referee and until yesterday I talked about bad luck, now I’m talking about a decision and not even our opponents saw what happened. We’ve lost Cassano, who isn’t feeling well at all, and we lost Palacio. I repeat, we don’t have the strength with these injuries to be stronger than these types of situations.”

Alvarez played well?

” Yes, even if he is not used to the role as a ”seconda punta” It was bad luck because he was close to another goal. We were playing very well,especially with Kovacic who handled our game. We played with continuity from our last games.”

Is there still hope for the third spot?

” I do not know, now we have lost a bad game, we do not count the points. Let us play the Italian Cup, we might have more luck there.”

What do you say about Ranocchia’s miss?

” It’s OK”.
