MILAN - Andrea Stramaccioni spoke about Inter's performance against Neftci in light of what Esteban Cambiasso had to say regarding the positives ahead of Napoli: "There are a lot of positives. The most important thing is to congratulate our young players who showed they're up to it. Well done to them, to sporting director Piero Ausilio and to Roberto Samaden and Pierluigi Casiraghi who are the key men behind our academy. Cambiasso at centre-half? It's not the first time he's played there, we wanted to finish well in front of our fans."
Stramaccioni smiled at the idea of releasing his squad for Napoli on Twitter: "No, I hate to disappoint you but I'm really behind the times. I don't use Facebook or Twitter. Sneijder? I only talk about what happened on the pitch and I think the situation between us is fairly clear and well-defined. Wesley knows I pick the team. Does it bother me that his tweet came before I'd announced my squad? There was misunderstanding, I'd decided to only announce the list of young players, but I'd already told Sneijder he'd work with the others the morning after. He didn't know this but it's nothing serious. At this moment in time I'm picking the best team available to me, as I've always done."
"I'm lucky enough to coach a team which has been to all the major grounds in Europe," continued Stramaccioni when asked about the next round of the Europa League. "Our aim is go all the way in this competition. Whoever we draw will be great. For now we're focusing on the league and Coppa Italia, we'll look again at Europe in February."
Finally a word on the sort of player he's looking to bring in during the next transfer window: "We'd like a central striker, something we all know we've been missing from the start. That's the only type of player we're lacking but, as I've said, either someone like this comes in or we'll focus on getting everyone fit."
