APPIANO GENTILE – "We must play like Inter." That's what Andrea Stramaccioni wants from the Nerazzurri as they build up to tomorrow's game against Napoli. And it's what he's sure he will see at the Meazza. "We have three [league] matches before the break and we must do the best we can in them, starting tomorrow. I'm utterly convinced we'll produce a real Inter performance."
The coach continued: "I think the games against Juventus, Fiorentina and AC Milan made us realise that we're in the mix, that we can compete against anyone, biggest regret. Having said that, we've learnt and improved after our defeats as well. Tomorrow we have a great opportunity against a direct rival, a team in top form – it will be wonderful game."
Antonio Cassano is back in the squad for a Serie A match having featured in the Europa League during the week. The coach was asked how important it is to have him available again: "He's certainly important, just all the others who wlil play tomorrow are important. We did miss Cassano but I don't want to place too much importance on his return. Antonio is an extra resource for us: besides his footballing ability he also adds personality to the team."
