MILAN - Sergio Zanetti spoke to Inter Channel after the 3-0 win against Atalanta in the first leg of the final in the Juniores Beretti league: "We can't talk about a claim or anything else right now; there are still 90 minutes to go. But we want to show the spirit that this group has and win by playing football. My lads already showed in the first leg semi-final against Napoli that the only way to win is through our play and sacrifice."
It was practically a perfect Saturday afternoon, after which the coach must have little to criticise his players for. Zanetti stated: "Certainly this week we'll work on the mistakes that were made by individuals during the game, but the important thing is that everyone learned that in order to become great it's not enough to simply be good; it also takes sacrifice. When we don't have the ball everyone is working hard and I'm happy for that. I'm proud too."
In the two league meetings against Atalanta, the Nerazzurri did well at home (a 5-0 win), but struggled away (a 2-2 draw). It was for this reason that the Inter coach felt the need to point something out: "We'll go to Zingonia to win and we'll play with all our 1994-born players. If Atalanta field their first team it won't matter to us. We'll go to win, because we want to show that we're the strongest team, at home and away."
