Mazzarri: “We did everything we could against Cagliari”

Inter Milan

BIELLA – Walter Mazzarri was in Biella this afternoon to present his book ‘Il meglio deve ancora venire’ (The Best is Yet to Come), written with Alessandro Alciato. He also took a few minutes away from the event to speak to Sky Sport 24 about Inter.

The Nerazzurri coach said of his biography: "The third chapter is my favourite. It’s the one where I talk about my son and I find it hard to keep the emotions at bay. The book has given me the chance to show people know who I really am, beyond Mazzarri the coach."

He also commented on yesterday’s game against Cagliari: "I’m not happy with the result. We thought we deserved to win it and I think we did everything we could have. Unfortunately we are a few points short and that’s a cause for regret. Sometimes we do struggle at home against sides who park the bus. Referees? We’re unlucky. Don’t ask me to go into it any more."

As attentions turn to next Saturday’s trip to the capital and high-flying Roma, Mazzarri had words of praise for his opposite number Rudi Garcia: "I like the way he goes about things. He’s done extremely well in his first year in Italy. It’s a massive test for us against a great team and we’ll have to try and prepare for it properly."

Finally, the coach spoke about Icardi, Hernanes and D’Ambrosio: "Icardi has come along well and he had a very good 45 minutes yesterday. I’ll look at things in the week and then you’ll see what team I put out.

"Hernanes can really come in handy this year but also going forward: he offers us an option we lacked.

"D’Ambrosio has been training well and he’s improving too. I ask my widemen to do a very specific job: those who are in the team at the moment have been coming up with the goods so I’ve preferred to stick with them."

President Thohir: “We always have to give our best”

Inter Milan

MILAN – Nerazzurri president Erick Thohir joined us at Inter Channel for a brief chat today. This is what he had to say.
Welcome to Inter Channel, president Thohir. It was a shame about Inter’s result against Cagliari. Do you think the team deserved more? 
"Well, we didn’t play a very good first half. We were much better in the second half. I think it’s important for the players, the coach and even myself to enjoy this kind of situation. But at the same time we have to get results for the fans and the club. It’s like standing on top of a hill on a windy day. But it’s expected because this is Inter. There’s going to be a lot of pressure and expectations. And because we’re at Inter we need to make sure we give our best when we have the opportunity to play."
What did you like most about the team?
"The team is more balanced after the January transfer market. We have the possibility of attacking through the middle now, and not just on the right and left. And we’ve added a player that provides us with more cover on the wing in the case of injuries or suspensions."
Icardi demonstrated his quality. Can we look at the future with more confidence? 
"I agree. Icardi can be an important player. But this is a team and we need more than one player to win. At the same time we have Milito, Palacio and Botta – and Icardi, of course. And they have to work together for goals, because we can’t just play defensively without scoring."
On Saturday there’s Roma v Inter. What kind of game are you expecting? 
"We performed very well in Florence when we beat Fiorentina. It’s a very exciting league here in Italy. We need to earn points away as well as at home, since we only have 13 games left. We want to get points from all the remaining games in order to reach our target of qualifying for Europe. It wouldn’t be good for Inter to go two seasons in a row without playing in Europe."
What has your impression of Italy been over these last few days?
"As I said, very unpredictable and exciting. But I have high hopes that Serie A will work together with the teams and referees to create a better product. Serie A is competing against other leagues in the world, like the English Premier League and the Bundesliga. So we need to work together as a league along with all the components, meaning the referees and teams as well."     
Is there anything you would like to say to the fans at this moment?
"This is a transition period and it will take two to three years. But we had some good results from the January transfer market. We added some good players, and hopefully in the summer we can add some more to make a competitive team for Europe. Hopefully the next season will be a strong one, but we want to make sure the team will be complete in the next three to four months. And I think it’s important to share the same vision between the management, the coach and the players."

Hello my friends.  Here is the Serie A ROUNDUP for
the
Serie A Week 25, 2013 – 2014 Season on  Saturday 22, Sunday 23, and Monday 24 February
2014, matchday 25.

AS Roma firmly battling to catch up Juventus for the Scudetto.  Roma defeating Bologna at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium with the goal by midfielder Radja Nainggolan scoring his first goal as a Roma player.  Bologna 0 – 1 AS Roma, Roma having a pending game and for the moment having a -6 points behind Juventus. 

Juventus winning the Derby della Mole!  For Juventus it is a total consolidation defeating Torino at the Juventus Stadium not only to claim the bragging rights to rule the City of Turin, but also keeping the +9 points ahead of Roma. One goal was enough for Juventus to win the game, a goal by forward Carlos Tevez in the 30th minute.

A blow for Inter unable to win the home game against Cagliari at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.  It’s a disappointment and chances to get closer to the 3rd position getting difficult.  Inter with 42 points also followed closely by Hellas Verona reaching 39 points after defeating Livorno.  Certainly, not a good result and the saddest one would be Inter President Eric Thohir who was watching the game at the Meazza.

Mission accomplished for AC Milan winning the away game against Sampdoria at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.  Milan reaching 35 points thanks to the goals by Adel Taarabt and Adil Rami. It’s a boost to the morale of the team after losing the Champions League Round of 16, First Leg, in San Siro against Atletico Madrid.
