Materazzi Stankovic

Inter suffered only its second defeat to Torino in the previous 24 games between the two, as tonight’s scoreline stood at 2-1. This is how Dejan Stankovic analyzed the defeat in the mixed zone.

“We took to the field a bit too softly, it was a match to win and perhaps we could have closed it in the first half when we started well. Then episodes occured that changed the game as you have seen: goals conceded, sending offs, a penalty, perhaps it was also a simulation, these are episodes as I have mentioned, but matches like these we have to close early. If we look at the league table third place is almost out of reach but we must continue to fight without giving up, we will work to not give up, we don’t expect an easy game on Saturday, the boys should take the lead by working hard as they have been doing in order to prepare for the next match well. Maybe it’s also a mental problem, we have to approach the game differently to avoid episodes like these that can compromise the result when you try to balance too much.”
