Do I expect reinforcements? What I expect is to recover energy for the next match. We’ve been the same 25 since the start, we’ve used everyone. I’m not complaining, I’m not here to repeat what I’ve already said. We’ll see, there’s one day left, but I can’t wait for this transfer window to be over

10 wins out of 11? We were mature in understanding the moments of the game and in finding ways to win. From the point of view of controlling the match, we were there. We were a bit slow in our build-up, we were lacking some energy. In the second half, a bit of relaxation is understandable, due to the scoreline and the lack of energy

Frattesi is an Inter player and he is an important player. And he has to prove it and show it. We trust in his qualities, we need everyone and we need Davide Frattesi in optimal condition to give that little something extra in certain matches, the ones in which we sometimes fall short

Do we play too much? The decisions I’ve made in the past are proof of that. I’ve always given rest, actually, you even criticized me for it. I’m not a genius, I’m not a professor. But I have made some decisions about rest. And I was criticized for them. A team has to accept taking some risks; we tried to anticipate that by granting extra rest. And we will continue like this

When there isn’t much energy, you have to find a way to win matches. I’ll take the result and I’ll take the first half. We forced the game plan a bit and managed to build a two-goal lead. In the second half, we lowered the tempo. We thought we could manage it, and we did manage it. Sometimes you need to try to do something a little better, but it’s never easy. I’ve been in these situations as a player, it’s never easy playing every three days.

It’s not easy for anyone. On Thursday evening I was watching the Europa League, my daughter knocked on the door and I had fallen asleep. I even got scared because I thought I was late for a meeting. And I think the players experience it the same way, sometimes you don’t even realize whether you’re at home or in a hotel. But that’s how it is, and we still manage to always be competitive

Inter are always under scrutiny because Inter are always seen by everyone as the strongest team. This group is wonderful and has everything it takes to be competitive. There’s still a very long way to go; we’ve put ourselves in a good position thanks to our own efforts. We’ve grown as a group, but I repeat: the season is still long.
