At the end of the game against the Thessaloniki Walter Mazzarri commented on the last friendly of the summer 2014:
In this last friendly match there was a great heat…
“We were more careful than in Frankfurt on the defensive. There we were a bit careless. Today there was a lot of attention and we did better. Another purpose was to give more playing time to M’Vila, kovacic, in short those who had played less for them to recover the form even more. I must say that I am happy with this. Then Osvaldo’s debut who started working a few days ago and I’m also pleased to have seen him on the pitch today.”
They had never played three in defense, they tried to surprise us…
“We have studied and tried to get them in trouble… But we are prepared, we rearranged on the pitch, however, and the team knew what it was doing … They were perhaps the most brilliant of us, but we have did not give anything away.”
Few scoring chances?
“Also because we missed the last passes that could make us dangerous.”
Now the playoffs of the Europa League…
“We have to do well this week. We should be careful and focused, playing away is never easy, and it was very useful to play these friendlies. We don’t underestimate the next game against the Icelanders, it will be very important to do well to be able to play the second leg calmly.”

Stupid fans still thinking like Moratti. Slow down, on the good side, we’re up against strong team in USA and holds on well, and then only lose once in the whole pre-season. The bad thing is we can’t score & didn’t seems to have any alternative game plan. And you guys wants to sack Mazzari based on preseason result, or should i say 2 preseason game ?
It is not only 2 preseason games. It is the formation he is using since last year that made us behind Juve 42 points. That is the problem. He brought all these midfielders so he can use 3-5-2 more comfortably and can play with the midfield. He should be sacked based on his performance last year, and probably this year when he gets eliminated from Europa League against a Youtube entertainment team and get destroyed by Torino. You understand now?
This guy plays the same way against every team. Real Madrid away or Chievo at home it doesn’t matter. 5-3-1-1 or 5-3-2. No wonder he hasn’t won anything in his career besides a coppa italia. Please get us Roberto Mancini he is without a job now. And in the future Montella or Simeone.
I’m not a fan of Mazarri, but I agree with you that fans are too emotional and think it’s easy to get a top quality coach. Reality check: Inter is now poor, with no CL, so why would someone like Simeone or Mancini who are champions downgrade to this team? … just bc we love Inter doesn’t mean these men will throw away their careers for us. It’s also good to have continuity and see what Mazarri can do with “his” team now that he has had a full year to build it. If he’s still shit I’m sure Thohir will make the wise decision to sack him, he’s been a pretty wise president so far
I’m not sure Thohir will fire him, unfortunately. Mazzarri has a new contract which makes him the highest paid coach in Serie A and financially it would be a bad choice to fire him. Personally I would like to see a legend like Walter Zenga take over, but that won’t happen anytime soon.
playing 3-5-1-1 and you expect goal galore??
when the wings are not working, we are totally fu*cked up
mazzarri, perhaps you will wake up when torino smashing your so called better defence
So far we look average..
But we scored 2 against Roma 🙂
Which is nice
I thought Osvaldo showed some good signs! Hernanes struggled. Defensively we looked pretty solid. The midfield is showing signs but was unable to link with the attack. M’vila looks strong. These guys are definitely not in full shape yet. I think we need Ricky in there! Not having Palacio up front definitely is making Icardi seem especially lonesome up top…things looked more dangerous with Osvaldo out there for sure
One goal from open play in the last 5 matches. That was Botta’s goal against Frankfurt. We will have a long and boring season again with Mazzari. Forget the 3rd spot in serie A.
what about the 2 goals vs Roma??
I meant from open play not set-pieces. Obviously I forgot to mention Nagatomo’s goal against Roma. 2 goals from open play.
This guy always comes up with excuses and say how good they did against shit teams, wake up Thohir this guy is garbage, Roberto Mancini is a free agent now, he is not coaching anyone
we need striker who can play wide and create spaces like milito or palacio
We shoudn’t expect goal from team which used 5defence and 1defensive midfielder
Excuses and more excuses. Defensively we were the same as against eintracht. Paok didn’t score, well because they are a relatively weak team, but they came close to it compared to Inter. A playmaker like sneijder is a must for this team. Striker like etoo who can attack and has vision is also a must. But this players will come down the road i guess.
Inter are still Mazzarri will be eliminated in the first round of Europe and will be at least fifth place, next step in the market to hire a coach with winning mentality (Roberto Mancini) Mazzarri was never champion the most he could get was second in 2012 Mancini pitched a great cross, was pitched to the city a large group, while Dismissing Mazzarri and early.
MR Mazzari have you check on how many goals your strikers have score in this 4preseason matches…its very disappointing to see our strikers not being able to score goal except on one occassion that ICARDI SCORED ON A SET PIECE.I think you should consider the 4 2 3 1 system that can give full role to both kovacic m’villa hernanes medel palacio icardi and osvaldo the chance to create and score morw goals that will make Inter very strong than the 3 5 2 you play i hate tottally.
se Mazzarri continua Inter vai ser eliminada na primeira fase da Europa e no mínimo vai ser quinto colocado ,próximo passo no mercado contratar um treinador com mentalidade vencedora (Roberto Mancini) Mazzarri nunca foi campeão o máximo que ele conseguiu foi ficar em segundo lugar em 2012, Mancini armou um grande inter, foi para o city armou um grande grupo, Demitir Mazzarri enquanto e cedo.
