After the defeat at Stadio Ennio Tardini, Walter Mazzarri gave his analysis of the match against Parma to the microphones of Mediaset Premium: “After having done well in two games, we were in need of continuity. We entered the game confident, we passed the ball well, but we underestimated the danger. After the goal they were inspired, they shut down and we suffered. Then we reacted by changing formation, but then we couldn’t score and they made it 2-0. We have to start over, we were expecting a breakthrough but we got stuck, we are evolving, it’s a time of emergency, in 4-5 games the same are playing. This should not be an excuse, from tomorrow we start over again.”
On why this breakthrough is still missing: “Look at the bench, there were no alternatives… We came from four games in a few days, I also used the youngsters and in the end I forced Hernanes to enter, I don’t know if he was injured badly again. We are reduced to a minimum, but we have to think about other parameters. Tomorrow I will talk with the boys. It’s still a very balanced league, other teams lose points against inferior opponents, and this gives us the strength to be able to think of staying close to the top, we have to grow and move on, today we didn’t do that.”
On why we can’t see an Inter with the mark of Mazzarri: “In my opinion, against Sampdoria we played a slightly different football, when you have players with different characteristics you try to play differently. It was the tenth game, there are always ups and downs, and in many games we had more possession, even tonight we conceded a goal on a counter attack. We have to find balance, then based on the players you have, you play how you know to do best. The team was tired? I think it was unwitting, we found the words to keep them focused. The victory against Sampdoria perhaps gave too much security and we may have underestimated the effort. We knew that Parma would play well, we started off pretty well but with too much security, and on the first opportunity we had to concede a goal.”
Is there anything that Mazzarri want to say to the fans? “I do not have to make appeals, I have to be careful that these guys do not have decline from game to game, the rest is not up to me.”

Mr. Ausilio, will you be making a second pass at signing John carew in January? LOL clearly inter is in dire need of reinforcements…….
If anyone should be upset it should be Sampdoria fans because they are asking themselves “how did we lose 1-0 to Inter when they lost 2-0 to last place parma?” LMAO Inter is the laghingstock of Serie A
“There were no alternatives, it’s a time of emergency”
Thank you Mazza for proving my point; your NOT the man to build something new with youngsters, because you don’t look their way even with alot of players injured! He even chooses to play an injured Hernanes over, for example Krhin (24 years old)!
ANd who the hell is this Camari who came on!?? He got what, 5 minutes but looked REALLY great on the left with real speed and nice touches on the ball! A new Biabiany in the making? Why hasn’t he got any playing time this year – because he is a youngster!!
And when Obi is more or less injured (which everyone talked about before the game) why isn’t Mbaye playing – Because he is a YOUNGSTER!!! Palacio is clearly not in shape, so why isn’t Puscas or Benazzoli playing – because they’re YOUNGSTERS!!
We need a coach who is ready to build something new with YOUNGSTERS and NOT with injured “Oldies”!!!
we’re a goal down and your best suggestion was to sent a defensive midfielder instead? seriously, are you high or something? biabiany? even if that kid 50% better than biabiany than he is still considered as suck.
mbaye? you’re asking for mbaye? where were you for the past 3 games? just came from another planet?
oh no we desperately need a goal. how about if we put our brains out and just threw some debutant in hoping they can turn over the situation. o yeah fuck logic
I was just trying to prove a point; if you want to create something (this beeing year 1 and all 😉 ), playing your youngsters would deffently make sense instead of tirred, injured players! And we, the fans, loves to see our youngsters getting the chance – like this Cammari dude! And Biabiany really IS one of the best wingers in the league!
throwing bunch of kids when we are behind is make sense for you? loves to see youngsters and the results is much less important, yeah right LOL. if he is one of the best then he must be chased by one of the best club, right? nah. only us and milan who was stupid enough to chase this overrated player
I was talking about letting the youngsters Start the game, in that way you can make changes (letting the more experienced rest for a game or two). Mazza is not thinking about building anything and that was I hate the most about the man!
Juve were chasing Biabiany and some English teams!
I’m with you about to giving more chances to young lads and about Biabiany he is good indeed but last news from him was not so good as they said he has a problem with his heart
first of all, the youngster’s name is Camara, not Cammari.. 🙂
okay, sorry man! Still thought he looked very promising!
I agree with your sentiment. Mazzarri has costantly complained about how he has no options on the bench and that the team is tired but he simply refuses to play his young players. Khrin was kept for a reason although I am not sure why as Mazzarri refuses to put him in. As for the comment beside this about putting in a defensive midfielder when a goal down, firstly Khrin is more a central midfielder than a defensive midfielder, secondly a change of formation to a back four would allow a second central midfielder to operate and freeing Kovacic from defensive duties. Being more attacking dies not mean simply throwing on more attacking players.
I would have also loved to have seen Bennazoli or Puscas get a run on. Puscas has been knocking them in for fun in the Primavera while Benazzoli looks the business. Their continual non inclusion despite Palacio’s complete lack of form and Icardi’s lack of service and the obvious lack of other options is baffling to say the least. Mazzarri is simply scared to throw these guys in despite there really being nothing to lose the way things are going.
I dont understand the criticism of your comment to be honest, it seems completely obvious!
They are Lots of alternatives to you.
There were no alternatives? Who’s in charge? Remember cessena with 10 men? You only sub 2 players back then, now you’re talking about alternatives? Go quit right now you brainless stubborn clown!
I think Mazzarri is under the illusion that his is the only team where players actually get injured or suspended.
Sick and tired of him, what happened against Cagliari and Fiorentina should have been a red alert, the miserable performances in the past 2 games have been no significant improvement and all the pressure on him should have made him CHANGE THINGS. I’ve defended him a lot, saying he should stay the season and leave if we find an option that will for sure be better than him. But it seems he’s proving me wrong every day. Last team on the table, no clean sheet so far this season, under heavy pressure – 2:0. Bravo, Walter.
I have to mention this, though, to be realistic, we still have a looong way to go, only changing the coach won’t do. We’ll have to wait for at least 1-2 more years before we actually get significant results, and that’s if Thohir’s project goes according to plan. I officially don’t expect anything more than a Europa League spot at the end of this season (probably 5th) and will not be caught surprised if we don’t even qualify.
I’m 100% with you. Mazzarri is a stupid, stubborn, selfish, old fashioned, always find excuses, who don’t know how to handle big club like Inter. But we don’t have to rush fire him and jump on someone who’s not much better than him. Honestly, so far i like that Thohir doesn’t act emotionally and try to be patient. We need long term project, clear ideas, realistic goals and try to grow step by step. But I don’t understand ugly, coward, slow, predictable, old fashioned, boring kind of football that he use to practicipates.
“After having done well in two games, we were in need of continuity” ….only WM saw that we done well in previous 2 games or i am blind.
WTF?
