After Inter’s convincing 5-1 victory away against Cagliari Stefano Pioli spoke to Premium Sport about the match:
“In order to win you need to prove that you learned your mistakes from your defeats. Today we were more effective and cautious. We created a lot, but we also could have conceded less to our opponents. This match shows us that we had the right mentality. Banega? He has quality and he can create chances and spread the play well. They [Cagliari] had a chance early in the match, but after that we took control. This was a signal of intent, and we must continue on like this because our upcoming opponents are doing very well [reference to Atalanta]. My future? I have always had the full backing of the club. We are aware that we are laying down a solid foundation for the future. We want to achieve a strong finish this season.”
“We could have managed certain situations better in the second half. We should have been more precise, and these technical errors could prove costly if they are done in other matches. These mistakes must be eradicated as much as possible. The back four? This formation is not set in stone. I decided the formation in accordance with the players’ conditions. Gabigol? Today I had to make the final change; it was a forced substitution. Everyone at Inter must continue to raise the bar to enhance this winning mentality. The rumors do not affect us. We only care about Inter’s success.”
