The nerazzurri coach spoke to Sky and Mediaset after losing the final game of the season. And thus ends a cursed season for Inter, with the one good piece of news. It is over. Andrea Stramaccioni arrives at the Sky microphones with a disheartened face after the 5-2 loss to Udinese.
“I believe that ever since we lost the chance to play in Europe we could only hope to finish the season in the best way possible. We can’t really be judged today, there were too many absences especially in defense and Udinese punished two of our errors after only 10 minutes. Now we swiftly turn the page, I don’t think this game was the one to give a verdict on our negative final stage of the season.”
Was it a relief?
“For us the last two months have been really tough. We never hid ourselves, but they were tough. Now the most important thing is to turn the page, a very negative season in which everything has happened has ended”.
Has Moratti given you assurances?
“I think that Inter is Massimo Moratti. Yesterday he wanted to come visit us even though he wasn’t feeling very well, that demonstrates how much he loves this club. Obviously the most important thing now is not to make any mistakes when building this Inter, but it is all in the words and head of our president.”
Did this end of the season complicate Stramaccioni’s permanence at Inter?
“In football results count and we have done poorly the last two months, but I am not able to separate what has happened to us and the evaluation of the squad. This counts not just for me, but also for the guys. We have had a lot of players playing out of position, young boys on the pitch, five central defenders out due to injuries. The words of Moratti? It is important not to give irrefutable elements for the future in negative moments such as these, but I think that Moratti has very clear ideas on how to reconstruct starting tomorrow. Have I had an official confirmation of staying? I can’t make myself Moratti, it is right that he is the one to talk. I know what he has told me obviously but the president will refer it all.
Strama also had a chat with Premium calcio where he analyzed the past season.
“Is it finally over? Yes but there is some bitterness in saying so. The game of tonight was not admissible, we were missing five defenders and we played Pasa with Juan who had to stand up to one of the best attacking formations of the serie A. Moratti didn’t come? I knew it, he wasn’t feeöing well yesterday. He came by the Pinetina to show us his support even before a game in which we lacked the motivations of Udinese. I am sure he watched the game. “
But isn’t he afraid that Moratti will change his ideas about the future?
“Moratti is sovereign, he is Inter. I have talked to him often and he has clear ideas on the future of team, and it is only right that he talks and clarifies. The game tonight was on the right track for Udinese from the start, but it is very difficult judging this Inter”.
Strama the returns to talking about Simone Pasa.
“It is a young kid who gave his all and I thank him. Our final is negative, fortunately a cursed season where all manners of things have happened is over and this of course influenced us on the pitch.”
