APPIANO GENTILE - "This is a year in which we're paying for every mistake we make. We have to accept the year for what it is. In fact it's precisely in years like this that you see the team's sense of responsibility and desire to battle. What we must do is give everything on the pitch and transform our anger into energy," stressed Claudio Ranieri in his pre-match press conference ahead of Inter v Atalanta, to be played tomorrow at 15:00.
The coach was asked to comment on the words of praise José Mourinho had for him the day after Inter were eliminated from the Champions League. "It gave me great pleasure to hear them," replied Ranieri.
Finally, on Andrea Ranocchia's fitness: "He's making progress but he's not 100% yet."
