MILAN
– Javier Zanetti shared his thoughts with Inter Channel after this afternoon's defeat to Juventus: "It was
a good performance in the end. We're disappointed to lose because
they scored their second when we were having our best spell. We threw
the kitchen sink at them trying to find an equaliser but we just
couldn't get it despite creating some great chances. It's a shame
but at least we can take heart from the performance that we produced against a
great team like Juventus. Now we need to immediately refocus on the next game."
The skipper was asked for his view on how Nicola Rizzoli refereed the match: "There were things that we saw differently but he decided otherwise," Zanetti replied. "It looked like a clear penalty on Cassano in the second half? The goal-line ref was put there to help out in situations like this. If he doesn't do that then there's not much point."
A
comment on Esteban Cambiasso's first sending-off: "It
was just a nasty foul, he made a late challenge. It's the first time
he's been sent off in his career, I heard that somebody on TV said he
deserves a five-match ban. Let's not blow it out of proportion, come
on..."
Next
up is the rescheduled game against Sampdoria at the Stadio Luigi
Ferraris on Wednesday: "We need to find the strength to do as best
as possible in the remaining games, find the strength to put in a
good performance in Genoa like we did today against a top team like
Juventus. Third place? We still have a few six-pointers to play and a
game in hand. Let's see what happens between now and the end of the
season."
