Ausilio: "Unacceptable attitude"

During the “Serie A Live” program aired on Premium Sport, Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio spoke about the Nerazzurri’s defeat at Juventus Stadium: “It’s a defeat that hurts but the situation should also be put into context. All the big teams have lost here in Turin, it is not a justification but these are not the points lost by us. Beyond the first ten minutes we had done a very good first half while I did not like the second half at all where we entered without concentration and at this level, for those who wear this jersey, it is not acceptable.”
The ds, who replaced Mancini in the post-match interviews, defended the coach’s choices, who once again changed the system of play: “Systems in soccer count for little, spirit and personality count much more. Today we and Juve played with the same module, we had to win some personal duels, especially on the outside.”
The market choices, with the graft of Eder in place of a regista, perhaps leave some regrets: “The things we did on the market, both in the summer and in January, were agreed with the coach. That kind of player is hard to find, and those few that are there are not sold to you or they sell them at prices that are impractical for us. This is the team, this is who we are, buying so much for the sake of it is useless.
In soccer you can play even without a director if you make certain movements: tonight even with a director it is not certain that we would have won.”
Without third place, the market could be affected: “To have or not to have Champions changes but a club cannot think of setting its own planning only on the certainty of playing it or not playing it. We in Italy all talk about third place thinking that it guarantees participation in the rounds but if we go and see in recent years the teams that came third have always been eliminated in the preliminaries, so you have to fight now but, in case, even after reaching third place. “
