CLUJ - "I believe Inter must think one match at a time," began Andrea Stramaccioni at the press conference on the eve of Cluj v Inter, when asked how Sunday’s derby might influence his choices for tomorrow.
"We played the first leg against Cluj with the best players and we paid for it somewhat with a drop in our energies against Fiorentina. But our objective is to advance and it won’t be easy. Nothing is a given here. Then later we’ll start thinking of the derby," added the coach. He was then asked – by Romanian journalists in particular – if he feels under pressure or is worried about being replaced: "The good thing and the bad thing when it comes to coaching Inter is the pressure that has been there from day one at this great team. At this level if a coach worries about it then he’s done for, even before he gets started. The pressure is high. We lost on Sunday so it’s normal to receive criticism, but I think we’ll do well tomorrow and in the derby. And we’ll move forward."
