Inter wing-back Antonio Candreva has admitted there is regret having not picked up all three points against Hellas Verona, a match he feels he and his teammates were deserving of winning.
Candreva scored Inter’s equaliser shortly after the second half resumed and played the ball that Federico Dimarco put into his own net to put Inter 2-1 ahead but it proved to not be enough as Hellas Verona scored late on through Miguel Veloso.
“You can always do better, especially if you equalise. There is regret for not having brought home the three points,” Candreva began an interview with Inter’s official club broadcaster Inter TV following the match.
The Italian, who has been with Inter since 2016, then went on to insist that there is work to be done to improve things.
“There is a lot to work on, but in the end it is the small details that determine the matches. Verona have put many teams in difficulty when at home and we managed to reverse things. We have to get back to work starting tomorrow and think about the next match.”
Next the former Lazio player spoke on the first half and how it compared to the much better performance shown in the second half at the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi.
“We conceded a goal and we suffered for the first 20 minutes but then we created chances. They were fine in the first half but in the second half we deserved to win it.”
In conclusion he was asked about playing in a 3-4-1-2 system and how that changes things for him.
“Our tasks are always the same. In the second half Conte told us to get into the box more because we no longer had a mezzala so it was up to us to fill the box.”
