To Sky Sport, Inter coach Stefano Pioli had the following to say after last night’s victory: “Pinamonti is very young but has a lot of qualities, I think his future is bright. Tonight I saw a team that played well, did some good things but still have a lot of things to improve. A three-man defense? We’re currently looking for some kind of balance, we are trying many different solutions and this could be one that works. Bitter to see Hapoel qualify to the knock-out round since we were very prepared for that away game and could have won it if it wasn’t for a late error. Gabigol? People talk too much about players not playing. We think about the team and then it’s up to the coach to pick the guys that are ready. If Gabigol doesn’t play this means that he isn’t as ready as his teammates getting the nod.”
