Mazzarri to MP: “Kovacic? He has played a lot this year”

Walter Mazzarri smiled when he was interviewed by Mediaset Premium after Inter defeated Sassuolo 1-0:

“Even today, it took too long for us to score, but like I told the guys, we have broken the spell of 2014. Inter with two strikers until June? If the team maintains certain mechanisms, I would love to play with all quality players, it also depends on the defensive mechanisms.”

On Hernanes :

“I also told you that he has feet for set plays even when he is not on top and we saw that today.”

On the difficult time for the attackers: 

“It seems as if someone like Palacio is going through a period in which he has less clarity. We hope that our strikers can unlock it because it is important for a striker to score.”

Guarin and the project:

“My colleagues and I have been good at letting our players feel involved in the transfer market which for us lasted three months instead of one. Also, there is a good relationship between the players and my staff. Ranocchia? I have six defenders and I have to make some choices. Icardi? He must be in good physical shape. Kovacic? He has played a lot this year. He is a 19 year old boy, in this sport there are many assessments.”

Paolo Cannavaro was on the live broadcast:

“If he was close to Inter? I have already said I have six defenders on the team.”
