Inter manager Luciano Spalletti spoke to Premium Sport after his sides 1-1 draw away to Fiorentina in the Serie A at the Stadio Artemio Franchi after Giovanni Simeone equalized in the dying minutes following Mauro Icardi giving the guests the lead.
Spalletti began by talking about how difficult a week it has been for his Inter saying that: “this week there have been so many things that have happened unfortunately. Nagatomo was struck down with flu, Ranocchia with the injury he picked up against Lazio, who gave everything in order to be available for tonight’s game.”
The former Roma coach then went on to speak about the game against Fiorentina saying: “sometimes the team loses the ball too easily and creates problems for itself. Sometimes we lack a bit of spirit, a bit of strength because it is not characteristic of us. We need to do much better. They managed to find an equaliser when they were pushing forward towards the end of the game, but before that we had our opportunities to make it 2-0 because they were leaving spaces at the back but we failed to make any of them count.”
Spalletti reacted angrily when asked about Inter’s possible transfer market dealings saying that: “if I say that we are lacking players then it is me who has to go into the locker room. Right now we are lacking in numbers but what can I do? Should I go in there and tell these players that they are not good enough? Why don’t you journalists go and tell them? I need to continue doing my job and accept my responsibilities. You can all see that I missing a central defender it’s there for all to see. We’ve said it about seven hundred and fifty times, if you keep asking me the same question then we are going to have a problem. For months you have been asking me if we are missing a central defender, even my mum who is eighty years old knows these things. We no longer have the players, we are finished. Come to Appiano Gentile and count them, we have none left.”
Returning to speak about the game Spalletti concluded by saying: “there were a couple of times where we couldn’t quite get out and if we had then we could’ve had an opportunity to score the second goal. In the end they started to push forward and force the issue more and we found ourselves piled up in the penalty area too many times.”
if you needed a defender you should have extended Vidic’s contract !!!!
Looks like Spalleti also is no longer content with Inter trsnsfers like I said in the start of transfer window that he will have problems and problems you got now.
Ausilio is the last man to be trusted with fixing anything. Unfortunately…
why “another central defender” ?!? you say that rano was “incredible!”, inter “solved” that problem recently bringing fresh new central defenders, did you forget their names ? miranda and murillo, after that came škrinjar, now rano is “reborn” LOL.
how about bringing TWO creative central midfielders ?
I don’t agree with You at all. Rano isn’t reborn. Spal have to talk like that because he doesn’t have any alternative and there is need to praise Rano for his self esteem. Rank makes many mistakes and loses the ball in very dangerous area. Of course he has some good interception, but still is too weak for Inter and very uncertain on the pitch. Thanks to Fiora player that we didn’t concede more cause of Rano. In this few last matches, I’m starting to think, that Cancelo was our best transfer. From game to game he is becoming better.
it was irony, my wiktor, irony … about rano and politics of inter .
I thought so, but I was not sure 🙂
😉
;-((
does your mother know where you will be coaching next season ??
ask her.
I’ve stopped watching.
We do not need fans like you.
Agree!!!
We’re INTER!!!
No one cares what you need. I can guarantee that I’ve been supporting this team for longer than you.
17 years. The only team I support. I haven’t been able to watch the CL properly in 7 years. It’s dumb that we continuously self destruct.
no i don’t. i want them to learn faster because sunning is inexperience in italian football.. and since they come this team already improve a lot. only blind man can’t see it. our problem only the depth of our squad..
Let your mother tell it to ausilio mr. spalletti if he dont listen to you….lol
inter must buy 1 defender and 1 playmaker, everyone know it..Suning must spent money to buy De Vrij and Pastore, because with no champions league, it’s a disaster..
“this week there have been so many things that have happened unfortunately. Nagatomo was struck down with flu, Ranocchia with the injury he picked up against Lazio, who gave everything in order to be available for tonight’s game.” poor spalletti..
“if I say that we are lacking players then it is me who has to go into the locker room. Right now we are lacking in numbers but what can I do?

hahaha… even my grandmother know that spall!!! tell ausilio to move faster!!! sunning need to learn their lesson faster!!
Now you blame management? Where are you when 6 month ago? Inter need quality player with champion mentality… i still don’t see at inter now. Hell yeah even spal mom know it… and zhang the riccie rich talking shit about inter is coming.
i blame management!? LOL.. i said they need to learn faster.. that’s all.. this team certaintly better than last season. we just need some depth..
Lol
Spalletti just doesn’t have any players to work with. The bench is that of a third division team while the starters are mid table team players.
