Inter coach Luciano Spalletti spoke to Sky Sport to discuss the match after the defeat against Sassuolo saying that his holiday spirit is not ruined despite this defeat: “I will spend a great Christmas anyway, we lost two games where the team provided the performances that were needed, but we paid the episodes in those matches. We could be better and make better use of our qualities.We should have not conceded from a counterattack, we paid a high price for certain situations in the match.”
Was the team less calm?
“Maybe, when you are losing, you try to do something more and have less peace of mind, it may be that you can make mistakes, but our opponents were good too.We also entered the area on the side of Candreva and Cancelo many times, but then we never used the opportunities, but the performance is fine “.
Do your midfielders need to attack the box more?
“That’s not part of our quality, Brozovic is not a finalizer, Borja and Joao Mario same, we score mainly with Perisic and Icardi, then we can also look for low balls on which everyone can intervene, but on the cross we do not have the players to score from midfield, but we must still play balls from just outside the box, as happened with Brozovic, with more frequency and quality “.
What happened with the goal you conceded?
“D’Ambrosio had lost the ball and we were not good at blocking the counter attack lead by Politano. We had to close him, but we gave him too much space, then he put in a great ball “.
Are there any problems that can be solved in the market?
“We have to solve whatever problems we in our own home, it’s normal to go through bad periods to improve, we do not have to think about the market because we have good players that I’ve talked about clearly and I rely on. If we find some market opportunities to bring home then we will do it, but we have to work with what we have now “.
