ranocchia

Precious 1-0 victory for Inter against Torinho that launches the team in the hunt for the fourth place, now just one point away. At the end of the game Walter Mazzarri spoke to SkySport:

“The only bad thing is that we need to be more convincing and close the games. Like we’ve seen at the end there can always be an unlucky ball to put us in trouble. In part during the second half we did what I asked for in halftime but we didn’t score the second goal, for lack of precision. It would have been bad to concede a goal and draw on a counter and I got a bit angry. But the squad mentality was visible, with Palacio and Guarin who fell back.”

Did Ranocchia and Campagnaro prove themselves?

“Yes, yes but I’d also like to compliment Andreolli. He practices well and he came on as if he were a starter and in that difficult moment he played really well. For me he is a certainty.”

Does Ranocchia stay even though Vidic comes?

“It is a bit early. Meanwhile today Andrea showed that the workouts made with meanness helped and I must compliment him a lot, he is exceptional, a great player. At the end of the year we’ll see, also depending on how many competitions we’ll have.”

And Rolando? At the end of it he had the most difficult task seeing how he was facing Cerci.

“He is doing something extraordinary this year. I knew him but with this continuity that I’ve given him, without donating anything he is continuously one of the best. Today he was facing a very difficult adversary, him and Nagatomo shared it well; Cerci is a threat to all.”

In what (way) does Icardi have to improve?

“He is talented, he has a defined role and he does it well. If he practices well he can only do better.  When he is at a 100% he’ll be even more useful.”

How come Torino never passed the half of the pitch?

“In modern football you need to be good at recovering the ball immediately and we were always at our places, they couldn’t counter. We had taken the right precautions because Immobile and Cerci are to be feared when they counter attack. And finally after the derby we’ve won another game with Thohir in the stands.”
