After the game, Walter Mazzarri talked with Mediaset Premium:
“Ultimately, you have to pay for everything that happens around you. Today, the guys felt it. They even lost their light-heartedness to try to find their game. We had three or four chances to score, but if you don’t score in the Italian league, you get a hard time. But I repeat, the situation in the environment has influenced, on the pitch it shows.”
“We tried different solutions, even tactically. A goal was needed, but it didn’t come. Solutions with Thohir? It doesn’t depend on me, I’ve told them what I’ve seen in these six months and what things can be done, the coach must try to get the best out. Maybe we don’t feel this pressure when we’re playing away from home. I understand the fans, then the San Siro is special. I try to give as much positive as I can offer the guys, even today, we wanted the episode, but the ball didn’t find the net. During this period, everything is going wrong.”
On the rarely used signings:
“Today Kovacic played the entire second half instead of Kuzmanovic. He is a guy that develops, he plays a lot, he and Taïder are new signings. There are no expensive signings like three years ago when they bought Eto’o. We have eight players whose contract are about to expire, there is an ongoing reduction in the wage bill, it will be cut in half, maybe even less.”
On the resurgence of the competitors:
“Don’t forget that Roma is coming from a seventh place. Juve were able to plan, that why they turned things around, they have won two league titles, they have a very good coach, they have bought 4 or 5 big players, now they can afford to do whatever they want. Guarin? I’ll talk about my squad when the transfer market is closed. I hope it will be before Sunday. If Vucinic will play with another shirt? I don’t know.”
