APPIANO GENTILE - "We need a bit more balance. We leave ourselves too exposed when the opposition get a few yards of space. That's the problem we've seen during these four games, before then we didn't have everyone available so it wasn't an issue. We need more balance so that we can keep attacking as we are while doing a better job defensively. We need to take a step forward in terms of defensive solidity, a change is needed, we're all convinced that we need to find a solution to what's happening. We might win a few games 1-0 but it's something we're working on." On the eve of Inter's trip to Chievo, Andrea Stramaccioni analysed the difficulties his team has encountered recently.
He stressed, however, that he doesn't feel his squad lacks anything: "I'm delighted with the squad I have here. I said that at the close of the transfer window and I'll say it again now. I'm not one to change my mind after a bad result. All I said the other day was that most of our pace was in our full-backs."
The coach was then asked if this was his toughest moment at the helm: "It might look like that from the outside but for me the most difficult time was at the start. I don't normally get over-excited when things are going well or get down when things aren't going well, especially if the opinions of you change so much from one minute to the next. We should be criticised, I should be criticised, but it's not that we didn't create anything against Siena. If I change direction when we hit the second wave I may as well abandon ship. You will be exposed when you do this job at a top club. All I'll say is that first you sow and then you reap."
