Walter Mazzarri talked after the draw against Palermo:

“We finished the talks about our clean sheet record by letting in a goal by ourselves,” the coach starts jokingly.

“We managed to get out of the difficult moment starting of very well in the second half. We only missed a goal and we even scored it on a set piece. I tried with the four man defense but we had no energy, and we even risked losing it. Then Sorrentino was great on Guarin and Osvaldo. We need to improve our growth and we accept the result.”

The match start risked to ruin the game:

“Vidic is a champion and this is an error that happens every hundred years for him. It was only a matter of finishing Palermo’s momentum, we knew that they would put pressure on us in the beginning. In the second half we managed to do a lot and we had them under pressure trying all kinds of things to score. We didn’t score when we could but the important thing is to create a mentality, we are Inter and we have to do everything to win. We also need to risk something.”

Is Kovacic Inter’s difference maker?

“He has been out for three or four days and that’s why he dropped in the end. He couldn’t do much more and I had to sub him. When he was feeling well, you could see that he is improving. He also finds the goal with continuity, an important growth that I was expecting and it was only a matter of time.”

Were the strikers disappointing?

“They weren’t as brilliant as they usually are. Icardi is always playing and Osvaldo is looking for his form. Then there’s Palacio who I’m recuperating step by step. I let Icardi and Osvaldo play 90 minutes because I wanted to put pressure on Palermo.”

Would you need two top players on the wings?

“We have four wingers that can take a place. We are in a better situation than last season and we have improved. Today M’Vila and Hernanes were supposed to stay out and we got Guarin back.”

Hernanes didn’t seem to be decisive when he came on:

“The players can’t be on top all the time. It goes for everyone. We have to understand these dynamics very soon and work to improve on everything.”
