Simone Inzaghi coach of Inter Milanappreciated his team’s clash against Atlético de Madridsecond leg of the round of 16 Champions League.
EXPLANATION OF DEFEAT
“Not interrupted, the boys should be proud. We are sad, the Inter family, the fans, but we must congratulate the team because they fought. In the second half, we did better. In extra time we had the game and the classification in our hands, these were the chances we usually missed, but Atlético proved to be a good opponent.
THURAM AND BISSEK
“Yes, Bissek came through very well in a difficult game. He has shown in these months to show a great personality, he needs to continue like this. Thuram did well, he fought even if he needed to be clearer at times. I have a feeling that we could have avoided the penalties.”
IMPORTANT CHANGES
“I won’t talk about changes. In extra time, the team that played better was Inter. We had some chances that we should have taken advantage of better. In our tour it didn’t slow down. It’s normal with disappointment, we have just played in the finals. And we have never lost a lead like that. But the boys have to be proud and must hold their heads high. In Serie A we have a good advantage, we have to raise our head. It’s a tough game, there’ll be another one on Sunday.
WHAT HAPPENED AFTER 0-1
“It’s not easy because Champions League games are not easy. In this stadium we know Atlético’s route. We should have managed the game better at 1-1. That had an influence because in the second half we were not good, we took too long, we lost the distance… Then it was better in extra time, we deserved a better result but Atlético did not give up and looked for victory.”
IMPORTANT DETAILS
“When there are three occasions like that, you will pay. There is hope in punishments. Yesterday we practiced penalties and we finished them better than today. Their goalkeeper is very good. But when you get three wrong, then there is concern. “I’m very sorry, we would like to move on.”
